Connecting the speakers
This section explains how to conect your speakers to your amplifier.
•
Before connecting the speakers make sure that your amplifier is turned off.
•
Turn off the subwoofer before connecting the input signal cable on its internal
amplifier.
•
Connect the plus (+) and minus (-) terminals of each speaker to the corresponding
plus (+) and minus (-) terminals on the amplifier.
•
If a biwire type of connection is used (except System 2, System 5 and System
Dipole 4 that have single wire binding posts), the gold plated bridges must be taken
off. Unscrew the binding post’s screws and pull off the two bridges. Tighten the
screws.
•
If you use bare speaker wire at the speaker terminals, remove the binding post’s
screw and place the bare wire into the side opening of the terminal. Then tighten the
screw.
•
If a banana plug type is used, just push the plug into the binding post’s top hole.
