Connections (Biwired Connection)
Notes on connections
• The (R) (right) and (L) (left) input terminals on the
speaker should be matched and connected with the (R)
and (L) output terminals on the amplifier.
• The (+) and (–) input terminals on the speaker should
be matched and connected to the (+) and (–) output
terminals on the amplifier.
• Be sure the screws on the speaker terminals tight since
loose screws will cause degradation in the sound
quality, and perhaps noise as well.
• Make sure the cords are firmly connected to the
terminals on both the speaker and amplifier.
• Do not place the cords at acute angles (i.e., to 90 degrees
or less).
• For details regarding the connections on the amplifier
side, refer to the manual that was provided with your
amplifier.
Connect the speaker system to the speaker output
terminals of an amplifier (such as the Sony TA-N1).
Be sure to turn off all components and disconnect their
AC power cords before starting the connection procedure.
Speaker cords (not supplied)
Use two speaker cords for each speaker. Short and thick
cords are better than long and narrow cords. We
recommend that you use cords with spade-type
termination.
For details, see “Speaker cords” on 12 page.
Speaker terminals
The jumper straps on the terminals should be removed
before you connect the speaker cords to the speaker
terminals. The top two terminals are for input of mid-
range and high-range frequencies and the bottom two
terminals are for input of low-range frequencies.
