CONNECTION
Speaker Wire
-We recommend the use of two conductor
18-gauge speaker wire to connect the speakers to your
receiver. When connecting the speakers in a stereo
configuration, the wire length should be similar. One length
should not be dramatically longer or shorter then the other.
Maintaining similar wire lengths will provide superior sound
quality.
Polarity
- Speaker wire polarity is indicated by either a
color stripe on the insulation, ridges molded into one side
of the insulation, the color of the insulation case around the
wire, or by the color of the wire itself (copper or silver).
Connect speaker wire using the positive (+) terminal on
the receiver to the positive (+) speaker terminal, and
the negative (-) terminal on the receiver to the negative
(-) speaker terminal. All speakers in a system must be
connected with the same relative polarity.
Connection
- It is recommended that the speaker wire
insulation be stripped back approximately 3/8”, allowing
the wire conductor to make a proper connection. The gold
terminals have red (positive) and black (negative) polarity
indicators. Loosen the gold terminals by turning counter-
clockwise. Insert the wire end and re-tighten.
Banana style connectors may also be used. The connection
is made by connecting the speaker wire to the banana
plugs, and then inserting the banana plug into the top
portion of the binding posts.
Note: Do not allow the positive and negative speaker wire
from the receiver to make contact at any time, as this will
cause a short.
