THE 5-WAY BINDING POST
Mythos ST-L Super Towers have gold-plated 5-way binding posts, which are
the audiophile standard. They give you tremendous hookup flexibility when
it comes to the type of connector you want to use, including spade and pin
connectors, single and dual banana plugs and, of course, bare wire. The
following directions are for bare wire:
BARE WIRE HOOKUP
Follow the hookup directions included with your receiver. Strip 1/2 inch
(12.7mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors of the wire to
expose the bare metal and twist each of the individual conductors into
single un-frayed strands. Note that one of the terminals on the rear of each
speaker is red (+) and the other is black (–). Make certain that you connect
the wire from the red (+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red (+)
terminal on your speaker and the wire from the black (–) terminal of your
amplifier or receiver to the black (–) terminal on your speaker. Most wire
has some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the
two conductors to help you maintain consistency.
To connect wire to the binding post, unscrew the binding nut and insert
the bare wire into the hole near the base of the binding post. Do not insert
the insulated part of the wire into the hole, as this will not give you a good
connection. Tighten the nut back down on the binding post until it firmly
meets the wire.
Do not over tighten
