ENGLISH
Before any connections are made, please ensure that all equipment in the system is
turned off. Loudspeaker wire throughout the system should be good quality,
loudspeaker grade audio cable with polarity coding. For loudspeaker wire that runs
less than 25 feet, the cable should be a minimum of 18 AWG, for loudspeaker wire
that runs up to 50 feet, the cable should be 16 AWG and for loudspeaker wire that
runs longer than 50 feet, the cable should be at least 14 AWG.
Connecting the loudspeakers
Remove 3/8" of insulation from the end of the loudspeaker wires to be connected.
Connect the positive lead of the loudspeaker wire (indicated with a "+" or other
marking) to the Red (or positive) loudspeaker terminal. Connect the other
loudspeaker wire lead to the Black (or negative) loudspeaker terminal. Connect the
opposite end of the loudspeaker wire to your amplifier making sure that the
polarity is preserved ("+" to "+" or Red to Red, and "-" to "-" or Black to Black – see
diagram).
Installation
On speakers that feature dual binding posts,
remove the shorting straps when speakers
are being bi-wired or bi-amplified
