Connecting your speakers
Connecting your speakers to your amplifi er must only be performed with the amplifi er
turned off . Otherwise damage may occur. Connect the red speaker terminal
(+) to the
positive speaker output on your amplifi er. Now connect the white speaker terminal (-)
to the negative speaker output terminal on your amplifi er.
Bi-wiring and bi-amping
The FM-50 features a double set of high-quality gold plated copper binding posts
that can accommodate separate cables and/or amplifi ers for high and low frequency
reproduction respectively.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Permanent damage
may occur to your audio system if the copper shorting plates are not removed
before connecting more than one amplifi er to your speakers!
There are many theories about bi-wiring and bi-amping. Our best advice is to
experiment with diff erent cables, amplifi ers and methods of connection. Whatever
performs best in your system might not work equally well in another setup or in a
diff erent room. In general, our advice would be to use the same kind of cable both for
bi-wiring and bi-amping, and also to use identical amplifi ers when bi-amping. This is
simply due to the fact that both methods will add more headroom and clarity to the
sound reproduction. The introduction of diff erent amplifi ers and/or diff erent cables
may cause issues with sound integration and cohesive performance.
How not to connector your speakers!
Please follow above instruction carefully in order to protect your connected amplifi er
and equipment. Here is a few details you should avoid during setup of your speakers:
1.
If you are NOT using bi-wire cable and have installed the shorting plates – please
make sure these are mounted one from each side of the row of terminals. Double
check that it is according to top drawing. Otherwise you risk to short circuit the
connected amplifi er and cause damage to it.
2.
If you are using the shorting plates together with spade plug mounted speaker
cable, please make sure that the spade plugs do not touch any of shorting plates
and risk a short circuit of the connected amplifi er.
