CONNECTING YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS - 1

TERMINAL PANELS

All the loudspeakers connect to 
the  amplifier  via  a  twin 
terminal connecting panel. The 
positive  terminal  is  located  at 
the  right  of  the  panel  and  is 
coded  Red,  The  Negative 
terminal is coded Black.

The  VR-SURR  1  uses  spring 
loaded push terminals. All the 
other  models  use  screw 
terminals.

CABLE PREPARATION

ALL OTHER MODELS

Prepare a suitable length of loudspeaker cable for each unit. 

Unscrew  a  terminal.  Thread  the  bared  end  of  each  cable 

Split the twin cores to a depth of about 40mm. Carefully strip the 

through the hole in the bottom of the terminal post. Ensure that 

insulation from each end, leaving about 8mm of bare wire. If 

there are no loose strands which may touch adjacent terminals. 

the cable is stranded, lightly twist to gather any loose strands.

Retighten the terminal securely.

Audio cable is polarised, with two cores of different colours, or  
often a coloured tracer or identification rib. We suggest that you 
connect the coloured/striped wire to the RED, Postive terminals 
of your AV amplifier. This will ensure that all the loudspeakers

are connected the correct way round and avoid set-up problems.

Connect  each  loudspeaker  to  the  correct  channel  of  your

Press down on a terminal lever

Positive (+) terminal of the speaker to the Red, Positive (+) 
terminal of the speaker output terminal of the amplifier, and 
similarly  with  the  Black,  Negative  (–)  terminal.  Use  the 
connection diagrams on the next page to help you.

WALL MOUNTING

If you are wall mounting speakers please follow this procedure. 

1: Run the cable from the amplifier to the speaker location.

2: Connect the cable to the loudspeaker.

3: Hang the loudspeaker on the wall.

4: Connect the loudspeaker cable to the amplifier. 

. Insert the wire into the terminal. 

Release the lever. Ensure that the terminal grips the bare wire at 
the end of the cable, not the insulation.
