INSTALLATION
WIRE REQUIREMENTS
Use the following recommendations for speaker wire runs.
Speaker Wire
If connecting the M2 for multiroom audio, pull two pair of
speaker wires from the M2 location directly to each speaker in
home runs, (each run direct from the M2 to each speaker).
1. Pull 1 run of 16AWG (min) 2-conductor stranded speaker
wire from the M2 location to each speaker in a home run
configuration. Leave extra length (24 inches) on both ends
to work with when making connections. (4-conductor wire
can be used by running the 4-conductor wire to an entry
point in the room and then splitting into two runs of 2-con-
ductors, one run (pair) to each speaker.)
In new construction, the wires should be pulled before the dry-
wall is installed. In retro-fit applications, (existing construction)
the wires will need to be pulled through the walls and holes
will need to be cut in the drywall for the speakers. It is highly
recommended that an audio/video installation professional be
hired to do this type of work. Contact the retailer that the M2
was purchased from for information on professional installation.
Use the Speaker Wire Length Chart to determine the proper
wire gauge based on actual overall wire length from the M2 to
the speaker pair it will be driving.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
1. Use 16AWG (min) 2-conductor stranded speaker wire for
speaker connection. (Refer to the Speaker Wire Length
Chart for wire runs over 150’.)
2. Strip approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch off the ends and
twist the strands together so there are no loose ends that
can cause shorts.
3. Loosen the Left Channel S and - Terminals as
shown in Diagram 5 so there is enough room between the
post and the collar to feed the striped wire through without
damaging the strands.
4. Tighten the post to secure the wire.
5. Repeat for the Right C and - Terminals.
6. Confirm connection and polarity.
7. Connect the speaker wires to the appropriate left and right
+ and - terminals on the speakers. Diagram 6
8. Confirm connection and polarity.
