Carefully remove any overall sheath or split the figure 8 cable to a depth of about 75mm (3”).
Carefully strip the insulation on each wire to a depth of about 12mm (1/2”) exposing the
bare core. If the conductor is stranded, twist the strands together on each conductor.
Unscrew the binding post. There is a cross-hole about 5mm from the panel end of the
binding post. Insert the bared conductor through the hole and tighten the binding post
securely making sure that there are no loose strands or bare ends protruding through
the post.
Carefully observe polarity ensuring that the RED (+) speaker terminal is connected to
the RED (+) amplifier terminal and the BLACK (-) speaker terminal to the BLACK (-)
amplifier terminal.
When all the channels are connected to their respective speakers the amplifier is ready
for use.
Multi-Amping The Loudspeakers
Set-up
If the Loudspeakers utilise more than one drive unit with individual input terminals, for example a Tweeter and a
Woofer, then the loudspeaker performance will greatly benefit from Bi-Amping. Dedicating one amplifier to the
Tweeter and another to the Woofer isolates them from each other hence reducing distortion and increasing
reserved power. Speakers work far better with most amplifiers when Multi-Amped than using one yet more
powerful amplifier.
Kandy Integrated Amplifier
Kandy Power Amplifier 2-Ch
NOTE:
Kandy Integrated Amplifier MkI
& MkII do not have pre out
sockets for multi-amping.
If the loudspeakers have more
drive units you just add more 2-
channel amplifiers and connect
respectively.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality cables such as ROKSAN
HDC-02S High Definition Loudspeaker Cable. Many speaker cables such as the ROKSAN HDC-02S are
directional. Please observe this directionality. DO NOT use a speaker cable with conductor size less than 16
AWG (1.6mm Diameter). The Binding posts accept conductor sizes up to 12 AWG.
