Hooking Up Speaker Cables
Before connecting make sure that your amplifier is turned off.
Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part
of this unit it may damage this amplifier and / or speakers.
This may void your warranty.
The Speaker Connectors can accommodate up to 10AWG speaker cables as well
as most of popular plugs (banana etc.). It is recommended to leave about 150 cm
(5 feet) of extra cable at the amplifier end to facilitate positioning and installation of the
amplifier. Do not use staples, nails or other metal objects to secure the cables.
You will get the best sound quality and least amount of hum by keeping the cables
away from other electrical wires and cables.
Pay attention to connecting the polarity of the amplifier correctly with the speakers
in each speaker group (speakers should be connected RED + with RED + amplifier
connector, BLACK – with BLACK – amplifier connector).
Please refer to your speaker instruction manual for more information.

Connecting speaker cables
Speaker cables have 2 conductors. Each conductor should be connected
to a separate speaker connector - mind the polarity while connecting.
For each conductor:
1. Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”)
of insulation from the end of the
conductor. Twist the bare wires firmly
together.
2. Loosen the speaker connector.
3. Insert the bare wires of the conductor
into the gap of the speaker connector.
4. Tighten the speaker connector.
Connecting via banana plug
Mind the polarity while connecting.
Note!
An insert hole for the banana plug in some speaker connectors maybe secured
with a plastic plug - make sure to remove this plastic plug before inserting the banana
plug.
