DIRECTOR 60 INSTALLATION MANUAL
For this setup, use a
multi-stranded wiring designed
for amplifier to speaker connec-
tions. The gauge of wire used
can have an impact on the per-
formance of your speakers and
we would recommend that you
choose the largest wire size that
is practical for your installation.
Which gauge to select depends
on the length of wire to be used
on any particular speaker. In
general the shorter the run the
smaller the wire size you can
use, however you can never go
wrong by using a thicker gauge.

Dual Tweeters
The Dual Tweeter models can be used for either one channel (sur-
round) or two channels (stereo). A switch is located on the back of
the speaker to select which mode to use. One of the inputs is la-
beled for surround. This is the input that should be used if you’re
only using one channel.
Surround (Dipole)
In this mode, one channel is fed into both tweeters to be distribut-
ed throughout the area. This way in a multiple-speaker setup, one
speaker can be a dedicated left speaker and another a dedicated
right.
Stereo (Bipole)
In this mode, two channels are fed into the speaker: one channel
for each tweeter. This setup is ideal for small rooms such as walk-
in closets and bathrooms, as well as oddly-shaped areas such as
hallways. With both left and right channels in one speaker, only
one speaker is needed in smaller rooms. Or in areas like hallways,
both channels can be evenly distributed throughout the area with
multiple speakers.
WARNING
If you are using a dual tweeter speaker in stereo mode (i.e. there
are two wires connected to the speaker: one for the left channel
and one for the right),
do not
set the switch to surround mode.
This could damage the amplifier.
