for the differences in their sounds rather than the similarities
— the blending between the midbass and midrange drivers
is compromised and the sonic consistency of the speaker is
effected. The upper and lower ranges of the speaker exhibit
different dynamic characteristics, tonal balances, and
detail through the frequency range where the human ear
is most sensitive to inconsistencies.
Bare wires should never come into contact with the aluminum dress plate while the
amplifier is on. Amplifier damage could result.
The input screws should be snug, but should not be over tightened.

True bi-wiring is recommended for all systems using a
single stereo amplifier or two mono amplifiers. Four identical
runs of equal length speaker cables are required. (Two per
speaker.)
Please review the information on page 4 regarding cable
selection and connection techniques before you connect your
speakers.
1. Crimp and solder spade lugs to the speaker ends of
the cables being used to connect the Model Seven.
2. Choose one of the cables as the tweeter/midrange cable.
Connect this cable to the two terminals on the right
carefully observing proper polarity.
3. Connect the remaining cable to the two left terminals
carefully observing proper polarity.
4. Connect both cables in proper polarity to the same set
of outputs on your amplifier. If possible, use a single
spade lug to connect both positive wires and a single
spade lug to connect both negative wires to the amplifier
as shown in the diagram to the right.

a. All four speaker cables should be the same type and
length. While certain different cable types may work
well together, using identical cables on both inputs
insures perfect blending.
b. Use high quality cables and spade lugs. Crimp and sol-
der the spade lugs to the cables.
c. If your amplifier has “A” and “B” outputs, use the “A”
outputs for both cables. The two sets of outputs may not
be electrically identical.
d. If your amplifier has multiple impedance taps, try the 4
ohm taps and 8 ohm taps to see which sound better.
(They will sound different.) The Model Seven is an easy
load and always stays between 4 and 8 ohms so there is
no danger of damaging your amplifier or the speakers
by using either set of taps. Both cables must be con-
nected to the same rated taps on the amplifier.
