Bare Wire
Unscrew the red or
black plastic knobs and
insert the bare wire
through the hole in the
post. Tighten the knob
until the wire is secure-
ly clamped.
STEP
1. Label all wires.
2. Connect one stripped wire end or
banana plug to the black terminal
and one to the red terminal.
CAUTION! NOT EVEN A SINGLE
STRAND OF WIRE CAN BE ALLOWED
TO TOUCH THE AMPLIFIER CHASSIS
OR ANOTHER CONNECTOR.
DESCRIPTION
If all wires connecting to the SI-1260 are
labeled with their destination rather than
their specific connection to the SI-1260, it
will be easier to reconfigure the system in
the future.
A. Split the speaker wire insulation at least
2 inches.
B. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from each
speaker wire conductor.
C. Attach banana plugs or twist the wire
strands of each conductor and insert them
into the appropriate SI-1260 binding post.
Banana Plugs
There are many types of
banana plugs available.
Some are crimped onto
the speaker wire and
some are soldered. Niles
offers banana plugs that
have a quick-connect
binding system for the
speaker wire included
within the banana plug
itself. After the wire is
attached, the banana
plug is simply inserted
into the hole at the end
of the amplifier's speak-
er binding post. Dual
spaced banana plugs
will fit the SI-1260 bind-
ing posts.
Speaker Wire Connections
CAUTION! All speaker wire connections must be made with the amplifier OFF.
