Choosing Cable

We recommend 16-gauge cable or thicker for runs
up to 25 feet (8m) and 12-gauge wire or thicker for
longer runs.

Connecting with bare wire:

Insert bare wire into holes and tighten.

Connecting with banana plugs, spade lugs, or pins:

The binding posts accept standard banana plugs

and pins, and can accommodate spade lugs up
to 

5

¼

16

switch off the amplifier or receiver when making

Connecting to a 
Surround Processor

When using a powered subwoofer: 

 

Select the SMALL or NORMAL setting on your

receiver or processor for your main and center
channels. This routes all bass information 
(typically below 120Hz) to your subwoofer.

When not using a powered subwoofer:

 

Select the LARGE setting on your receiver or

processor for your main speakers. This routes all
bass information (typically below 120Hz) 
to your main speakers.

Match the sound levels of each speaker:

Your home theater system most likely includes a

test signal that simplifies level matching. Refer
to the instructions provided with these electron-
ics.
