After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system. First turn off all audio system
power. Use high-quality speaker wire to make your connections. For speaker connections, use at
least #18 gauge speaker wire (or #16 for runs over 25 feet) with polarity coding. The side of the
wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e., + ). Also, consult
the owner’s manuals that were included with your amplifier, receiver, or television to confirm
connection procedures.
On the back of the US-1, loosen the bracket screw and rotate the bracket to access terminals.
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 6. Connect each +
terminal on the back of the amplifier, receiver, or television to the resp (red) terminal
on each US-1 speaker. Similarly, connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause
poor imaging and diminished bass response.
After making your connections, route the wires through either hole in the door, as shown in
Figure 7.
NOTE: You may need to loosen the bracket screw to open the door further.
After you finish connecting your system, return the door to the desired angle and tighten the
bracket screw.
