For the maximum increase in bass re-
sponse, place your speakers directly
on the floor and positioned against a
wall or in a corner.
To decrease the bass response, raise
your speakers off the floor or move
them away from the wall or corner.
Avoid placing your speakers on a sur-
face that absorbs sound, such as thick
carpeting. We recommend you experi-
ment to find the best setup for your
sound system.
CONNECTIONS
Cautions:
• Take care never to exceed the
speaker’s maximum power rating
(see “Specifications”).
• To avoid any damage to the
speaker or amplifier/receiver, turn
off the amplifier/receiver before
making connections.
Notes:
• Use 18-gauge speaker wire for
distances up to 25 feet. For
greater distance, use 16-gauge
wire. Your local RadioShack store
has a wide selection of speaker
wire.
• We recommend you use color-
coded or marked wire to help you
correctly connect the wire. Some
color-coded wires have a stripe
running down one side of the con-
ductor’s insulation. Some marked
wires have ridges along one side
of the conductor’s insulation.
Follow these steps to connect each
speaker to your receiver/amplifier.
1. With the speakers placed in the
selected locations, route the
speaker wire from each speaker
to the receiver/amplifier.
2. Separate the conductors for a
length of about 2 inches on each
end.
3. Strip 1 /
2
inch of insulation from the
ends of each conductor, then twist
each end.
