CONNECTIONS

All connections should be made with the equipment turned off.

Totem delivers all speakers with jumpers installed. For a standard single wire connection simply leave the

jumpers in place. Be certain to connect the positive red (+) terminal of the speaker to the positive red (+)

output terminal on the amplifier. Be certain to connect the negative black (-) terminal of the speaker to

the negative black (-) output terminal on the amplifier. The speakers will sound out of phase (bass loss and

image distortion) if there is an error in your connection. Totem speakers can be bi-amped and bi-wired,

please consult your amplifier manual for detailed instructions or contact your Totem Authorized Dealer.

Caution

: For a
