We know you are keen to get Calliope working. This section will
have you listening to your favourite music as quickly as possible.
Calliope has been carefully packaged for safe transportation. If
you have the storage space, please retain all the original
packaging. This will allow you to transport your loudspeakers
safely in the future.
Make sure that all the components of your audio system are
disconnected from the AC supply whenever you change
any connections.

connection
Connect the red (positive) terminal of your right loudspeaker to the
right, positive output terminal on the back of your amplifier. Then
connect the black (negative) terminal of your right loudspeaker to
the right, negative output terminal on the back of your amplifier.
Repeat this procedure to connect your left loudspeaker using the
left positive and negative terminals on the back of your amplifier.
For best sound quality, we recommend that you use loudspeaker
cables terminated in 8 mm spade terminals (e.g. our Cable
AvantGarde F3-10-SPK). Unscrew the terminal enough to fit the
spade into it and then tighten the terminal. If you are unable to
fully tighten the terminal, try pushing the spade connector in a
clockwise (tightening) direction. Do not over-tighten the terminal as
it is made from soft, gold-plated, oxygen-free, high purity copper.
