3 CABLES AND CONNECTIONS
•
Loudspeaker cables can have a noticeable effect on sound quality. Choose good quality low resistance
cables with high purity metal conductors and low-loss dielectric (insulation). Ask your dealer for advice
on cables to suit your system and budget.
•
Set amplifier(s) to minimum volume and switch off the power.
•
Always connect the –ve (usually black) loudspeaker output terminal of the amplifier to the corresponding
–ve (Black) terminal on the loudspeaker.
•
Always connect the +ve (usually red) loudspeaker output terminal of the amplifier to the corresponding
+ve (Red) terminal on the loudspeaker.
•
Always connect the left channel amplifier output to the left loudspeaker and the right channel amplifier
output to the right loudspeaker.
•
For surround sound systems the centre, surround and rear loudspeakers must be connected to the
appropriate amplifier outputs.
•
Make the connections as shown below. Only the left channel connection is shown.
•
When all connections have been made. Switch on the amplifier(s). Pick a sound source (e.g. CD or FM)
and advance the volume control carefully.
SINGLE WIRING

BI-WIRING
•
IMPORTANT
: REMOVE the terminal links and store them safely.
•
Bi-wiring can improve sound quality by separating the current paths for Low (LF) and High (HF)
frequencies.
