Plan the wiring paths from the speakers to the amplifier. We recommend 16-gauge wire for
runs up to 25 feet, and 14-gauge wire for longer runs. Be sure the speaker wire does not rest or
rub against any sharp or pointed objects. Allow an extra foot of wire at the speaker location to
make it easier to connect the speaker before setting it in position .
For normal, single wire connection, unscrew (turn counter-
clockwise) one set of the terminal knobs. Strip about 1/2”
(12mm) of the insulation from the two wire conductors and
twist the wire strands into a tight bundle. Insert the wire
into the hole in the terminal shaft and turn the terminal
knob clockwise to clamp the wire in place. Be sure there
are no loose strands of wire that could touch the other
terminal.
Be sure the positive and negative speaker terminals of the
amplifier are connected to the corresp (red) and
– (black) terminals of the speakers. All wire is marked in
some way to make it easy to trace the connections. The two
conductors will be color coded, or there will be a stripe or
ridge on the insulation, to identify them.
The terminals also accept wires with pin lugs or spade lugs
attached. Dual banana plugs can also be plugged into the
back of the terminals.
When connecting more than two speakers per amplifier
channel, you should use series/parallel wiring. In all cases,
make certain that the total impedance does not fall below
the amplifier’s rating. If you are not sure, contact your Snell
Acoustics dealer.
BI-wIrIng
High performance audio systems
can benefit from bi-wiring the
speakers. This involves connect-
ing two sets of wires between
the amplifier and the speak-
ers. If you are bi-wiring your
speakers removed the terminal
straps by loosing the terminal
knobs and sliding the straps to
the side.
Use equal lengths of the ap-
propriate wire to bi-wiring the
speakers. Consult your dealer
for cable options. Connect the
wires between the amplifier and
speakers as illustrated.
