SPEAKER TERMINATION 

 

To ensure that the high quality signals produced by your 

amplifier are carried to your speakers without loss of 

clarity or resolution, Knoll advises that you use high-quality 

speaker wire. Many brands of wire are available — the 

choice may be influenced by the distance between your 

speakers and the amplifier, the type of speakers you use, 

personal preferences, along with other factors.  

For safety reasons, if any wires are placed inside walls or 

ceilings, they may be required to be fire rated. Always 

check with local building officials. 

Regardless of the brand or type of speaker wire chosen, 

we suggest that you use a wire constructed of multi-strand 

copper with a gauge of 16 or less (the lower the number, 

the thicker the cable). 16 gauge wire may be used for runs 

up to 33’ (10 m). 14 -12 gauge wire is recommended for 

longer runs. We do not recommend that you use any wires 

with an AWG equivalent of 18 or higher due to the power 

loss and degradation in performance. 

A detachable plug is provided for each stereo channel 

output. Strip approximately ¼” (6 mm) of insulation from 

the end of each speaker wire and carefully twist the 

strands of each conductor together. Be sure not to cut the 

individual strands or twist them off. All strands must be 

used for optimal performance. Insert the wire into the 

plug and screw the screws very tight. Inspect that there 

are no stray wire “hairs” that can short circuit in the plug. 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct polarity connections are important to maintain 

proper speaker phasing. When speaker phasing is correct, 

all speakers move in and out at the same time preserving 

the imaging and bass response of the program material. 

Run the wires to speaker locations. Do not coil any excess 

cable, as this may become an inductor that creates 

frequency response variations in your system. Lastly, 

connect the wires to the speakers, again being aware of 

proper polarity. Remember to connect the negative or 

black wire, to the matching terminal on the speaker. The 

positive or red wire should be connected to the matching 

terminal on the speaker. 

After powering up the system, check the speakers to verify 

that they are operating properly.  

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Note: While most speaker manufacturers follow industry 

convention of using red terminals for positive connections 

and black terminals for negative, some manufacturers may 

vary from this configuration. To ensure proper phase 

connections and optimal performance, consult the 

identification plate on our speaker terminals, or the 

speaker’s manual to verify polarity. Contact the speaker’s 

manufacturer if you do not know the polarity of your 

speakers.
