Wiring

In normal wiring, the bridging clips

(item 3, on page 6) are left in place, so

the ribbon and the woofers are powered

by the same amplifier channel.

The front channels of Sunfire's Theater

Grand Amplifiers each have two pairs

of outputs. In a normal system, use the

voltage source. See page 16 for other

wiring options, including biamping, or

biwiring.

This example shows the speaker wiring

connections for a right front speaker. On

conventional amplifiers, use the standard

positive and negative speaker-level

outputs.

1. Install the speaker wires following

all local codes for electrical wiring

installation. Use class  wiring,

and 1 gauge is recommended, 16

gauge is the minimum.

. Follow common low voltage

practices like avoiding high voltage

electrical wiring, or crossing them

perpendicularly. This will reduce the

chance of picking up hum or other

interference.

3. Pass the wiring through the wiring

channels in the back of the loud-

speaker (see item 4 on page 6.)

4. Do an electrical continuity test to

make sure the connections are

good from the amplifier-end of the

speaker wire to the ends of the

wires at the loudspeaker.

5. Secure the wiring to the loudspeak-

er's spring-loaded binding posts,

observing the correct polarity.

Gently pull on them to make sure

they are secure.

6. It is a good idea to secure the wir-

ing from vibration as much as pos-

sible. Do not have the weight of the

cables hanging on the terminals.
