CONNECTION OF THE LOUDSPEAKERS
If you intend to connect two pairs of speakers, all loudspeakers must have a nominal impedance
of at least 8
Ω
. If only one pair of speakers is connected, all types of loudspeakers with a minimal
nominal impedance of 4
Ω
can be used.
Consider correct polarity, the positive contact is mostly marked red or with “+”. The side of the
speaker cable that has to be connected with the positive socket has a marking.
If you are using ready made loudspeaker
cables with 4 mm banana plugs, all you need
to do is connect the two plugs on each loud-
speaker cable end to the two associated spea-
ker connectors. Turn the connector screws clock-
wise to fasten them.
If you want to use speaker
cables equipped with spade lug
connectors, every connector
screw must be opened by tur-
ning counter clockwise. After
that, the lug must be moved under the screw head.
Then, turn the screw clockwise to fasten the lug to
the connector. To avoid damages to the amplifier,
make sure the connection is tight and no bare
metal from the cable lug connector makes contact
with the rear panel or with another terminal.
If no connector is to be used, remove approxi-
mately 1 cm length of insulation from each end
of the speaker wire. Twist the braid in order to
avoid short circuits. Turn the fastener on the
loudspeaker terminal counter clockwise to loo-
sen it and introduce the bare wire end into the
exposed connector hole. Then turn the fastener
clockwise so that the wire is firmly clamped.
Make sure the connection is pretty tight.
