-WIRE, or Mono Wire C
ONNECTIONS
If your domestic situation dictates the use of a single cable
per speaker, you should use a multiple conductor single-sheath
cable to internally bi-wire the speakers. Some of these cables use
different types of wire for the upper and lower ranges of the
speaker and may effect the blend between the midbass and mid-
range drivers. They should only be used after you audition them
in your system and verify that they do not effect the midbass to
midrange blending and that you like their sonic characteristics.
Please review the information on page 4 regarding cable se-
lection and connection techniques before you connect your
speakers.
1. Crimp and solder spade lugs to the speaker ends of the ca-
ble from the amplifier.
2. Connect one positive and one negative wire to the tweeter/
midrange terminals on the right carefully observing proper
polarity.
3. Connect the remaining positive and negative wires to the
two left terminals carefully observing proper polarity.
4. Connect the wires in proper polarity to the same set of out-
puts on your amplifier. If possible, use a single spade lug to
connect both positive wires and a single spade lug to con-
nect both negative wires to the amplifier as shown in the
diagram to the right.
Bare wires should never come into contact with the aluminum dress plate while the
amplifier is on. Amplifier damage could result.
The input screws should be snug, but should not be over tightened.
While single-cable internal bi-wiring is the only recommended method of mono-
wiring the Model Sevens it does not offer all the performance advantages of true bi-
wiring.

a. The speaker cables should be as short as possible and the
same length. Consider putting the amplifier between the
speakers rather than off to one side.
b. If your amplifier has multiple impedance taps, try
the 4 ohm taps and 8 ohm taps to see which sound
better. (They will sound different.) The Model
Seven is an easy load and always stays between 4
and 8 ohms so there is no danger of damaging
your amplifier or the speakers by using either set
of taps. Both cables must be connected to the
same rated taps on the amplifier.
c. True bi-wire for optimum performance.
