Caution!
•

device other than a loudspeaker.

•
ALWAYS
switch the amplifie r off before connecting or

CABLES AND CONNECTORS
To realize the full potential of the Symphony, we recommend the use of a high-
quality speaker cable such as the VIOLA Jazz cable. Please consult your VIOLA
dealer for details.
The Symphony is equipped with two pairs of high quality binding posts on each
channel. These are designed to accept cables fitted with spade lugs.
The lugs
should be either soldered or crimped to the speaker cable – the latter is preferred.
We do not recommend the use of bare wire to connect the speaker cable to the
binding post. This produces an inferior connection that degrades with time as the
bare conductors become tarnished.
SINGLE SPEAKER CABLE CONNECTION
In this case you will only use one pair of binding posts on each channel of the
amplifier.
Starting with the left channel, connect upper or lower red binding post on the rear of
the Symphony (which ever is convenient) to the input terminal , or colored
red on the left speaker.
Connect the adjacent black binding post on the rear of the Symphony to the input
terminal marked -, or colored black on the left speaker.
Repeat the process for the right channel of the amplifier and the right speaker.
The connection for one channel is shown in figure 1 below.
