SPEAKER CONNECTONS
1. Turn off the receiver or amplifier and unplug it from the power outlet.
2. Use a 2-conductor 16-gauge speaker wire (M&S part number
MS16X) for best results.
Note: Remove about 2 inches of the outside jacket from both ends of
the wire then strip approximately ½ inch of the insulation from each
conductor at the speaker end. Use the recommended strip length as
specified in the amplifier/receiver installation manual for the other end.
3. Proper connection of the speaker wire is very important to ensure full
range sound. Most amplifiers and speakers use red (for +) and black
(for -) as the polarity markings. Using the MS16X wire makes
connections easy. The red wire should be connected to the red terminal
and the black wire to the black terminal at the speakers and the amplifier.
Note: When using another type of wire, such as a flat ribbon, you will
need to determine how the wire denotes one lead from another. This
usually takes the form of a rib or a color stripe in the insulation.
4. Repeat these steps for connection of all speakers to the system.
Typical diagrams are shown for the MNC and MNCS systems. (See
figures 2 through 4.)
