Connecting
Connection variations
In addition to a standard connection, where every speak-
er column is connected to the amplifi er with a cable, you
can also choose the variants “Bi-Wiring” or “Bi-Amping”.
Standard connection
With this connection, the T 400 speakers are connected
like conventional speakers with one 2-core speaker cable
each. The contact bridges between the connector termi-
nals may not be removed in the process; you can connect
the cables accordingly to the top or bottom terminals.
Bi-Wiring
For this, the high and midrange speakers are connected
with one cable and the two low range speakers are con-
nected with a second cable. This allows you to reduce
distortion with very long cables.
Bi-Amping
For this, the high/midrange and low range speakers have
their own amplifi ers.
Connecting the cables
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
Turn off your amplifi er.
1.
Lay the speaker cable from your amplifi er to each
2.
of the speakers. This cable should be a high-quality
double-core speaker cable with marked wires. The
cross-section should amount to at least 2.5 mm
2
.
A connector terminal with four
3.
binding posts is located on the
back of each speaker. You can
connect the speaker cables using
banana plugs or directly. We
only describe the direct connec-
tion here. The terminals are each
marked red (+) and black (-).
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like coloured terminals of your
speakers and amplifi er with one another.
Otherwise the sound quality will suffer. The individual
strips of the speaker cables are marked with different
colours or forms to facilitate this.
You only have to remove the
4.
contact bridges when using
Bi-Wiring or Bi-Amping: Turn
the binding posts counterclock-
wise until loose and then pull
out the contact bridges. The
top terminals lead to the high
range and midrange speakers,
the bottom terminals lead to the
low range speakers.
Split the core on
5.
both ends up to
approximately
30 mm and
remove approxi-
mately 10 mm
of the insulation
on each piece.
Twist the core so
that no wires are protruding.
Turn the binding post counter-
6.
clockwise until loose. Run the
stripped cable into the hole
that is now visible. Turn the
post clockwise until closed. The
cable has now been clamped
in place.
Connect the other end of the
7.
speaker cables to your ampli-
fi er. The operating instructions
of the appliance should contain
notes on this.
