Set-Up Considerations and Installation
output (however, this may change, as detailed in the “Setting Acoustic Phase” section later in
this manual). We use the largest gauge speaker wire possible; for this installation, we would
recommend at least 13-gauge pure oxygen free cable (POFC) be used. If you are comfortable
with soldering, we recommend that the speaker wires be soldered directly to the speaker’s
terminals using silver-content solder. Great care must be taken however, as over-heating the
terminal may result in physical damage to the speaker’s terminals, or disconnection of the
speaker’s tinsel leads, which are not covered under the limited warranty. We recommend that
only those individuals with experience in soldering heat-sensitive electronics attempt this
procedure. If you’re not, then the use of female slide terminals would be a more ideal choice
for connection. In the case of the use of female slide terminals, be careful in the connection
process, as the negative terminal on the speaker can be fragile given its small size.
With the speakers connected, install them into their new locations, and turn the page for
detailed ideas for set-up and tuning of your L3’s.
