TERMINAL PANEL
An exclusive five way terminal panel has been designed for the Definition range to optimise performance further by
take advantage of the driver earthing facility. Use a shielded or screened loudspeaker cable; connecting the screening
termination to the earth or ‘ground’ (green) terminal on the loudspeaker and to the ground or earth connection on the
amplifier. Alternatively if you are not using a screened loudspeaker cable but wish to utilise the earthing facility, run a
single cable between the earth or ‘ground’ (green) terminal on the loudspeaker to the earth (ground) connection on the
amplifier. (See fig.3)
INSTALLATION
To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or
disconnecting any cables. Before switching on double check that all connections are secure and that polarity is correct.
CONNECTION IN SINGLE WIRE MODE
The terminal panels have captive link bars fitted as standard to link the positive and negative HF and LF terminals
respectively.
For optimum performance in single wire mode, loudspeaker cable connections from the amplifier should be made
to the high frequency (HF) terminals of the loudspeaker: (See fig.4)
• The positive (plus) terminal on the amplifier left channel ( or coloured red) must be connected to the
positive HF terminal on the left speaker. The left speaker is the one on the left as you look at the stereo pair from
your listening position.
• The negative (minus) terminal on the amplifier left channel (marked - or coloured black) must be connected to the
negative HF terminal on the left speaker.
• Repeat this connection process for the right speaker. Remember that the positive (+ or red) on the amplifier must
be connected to the positive (+ or red) on the speaker and the negative (- or black) to negative.
• Select a signal source, such as a CD player; switch on the amplifier and slowly turn up the volume control to check
that both loudspeakers are reproducing bass and treble information.
CONNECTION IN BI-WIRE MODE
Please note in bi-wire mode that the link bars must be removed. Unscrew the knurled nuts on both the positive and
negative HF and LF terminals and remove the link bars and then replace the colour coded nuts. Retain the link bars in
a safe place for possible future use. (See fig.5)
• A special bi-wire cable should ideally be used - consult your dealership for recommendations.
