Speaker Wiring
When running the cables for speakers, use 16-gauge two-conductor or four-conductor (four-conductor
stranded is recommended for neater installation) speaker wire. Speaker cable is homerun from the
speaker location to the location of the Hi-Fi Main Assembly.
The Hi-Fi System is designed to work with one pair of speakers per zone.
Terminating Speaker Wires
Always observe proper orientation of the positive and negative signal for each speaker connection.
Typically, when using two-conductor speaker wire, the red wire indicates positive (+) and black wire
indicates negative (-). Another indication of positive is a dark line running through the insulation.
Four-conductor wire can also be used and makes for a neater installation. Four-conductor wire has four
separate wires in one outer jacket, making it possible to run a single speaker wire for a pair of zone
speakers. This type of wire typically uses red and black for one speaker and white as positive and green
as negative for the second speaker.
