Speaker Connections
1.
Use 16AWG (min) 2-conductor stranded speaker wire for speaker connections.
2.
Strip approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch off the ends and twist the strands together so
there are no loose ends that can cause shorts.
3.
On the amplifier rear panel, turn the clear ends of the Speaker Terminals counterclockwise
so there is enough room between the post and the clear end to feed the stripped wire
through the post hole without damaging the strands.
4.
Confirm polarity. (Red wire to +)
5.
Turn the clear ends clockwise to tighten the post and secure the wire.
6.
Repeat for left and right speakers, + and -.
7.
Confirm connection and polarity.
8.
Connect the speaker wires to the appro and - terminals on the speakers.
9.
Confirm connection, polarity and position.
NOTE:
If the Speaker Out senses a short, the amplifier will enter protect mode and ‘Protect’
will appear in the front panel display. In protect mode, the audio amp will be shut down, but
the logic and control will remain on. Source select and volume changes will be shown in the
display, but there will be no output from the amp and ‘Protect’ will again be shown in the
display after changes are made.
To reset the amp, power cycle the amp (unplug the amplifier from the wall jack for 5 seconds
and then plug it back in). If the amp does not return to normal operation, please contact
ELAC at 714.252.8843 or at [email protected].
