Occasional refinements may
be made to existing products
without notice, but will
always meet or exceed original specifications unless
otherwise stated.
*The maximum recommended
amplifier power rating will
ensure proper system headroom to allow for occasional
peaks. We do not recommend
sustained operation at these
maximum power levels.

Connection Tips
Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and
(–) terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (–) on the
speaker to (–) on the amplifier. Wiring “out of phase” results in
thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

Bi-Wiring
The ARC1000‘s outer connection panel and internal dividing network are designed so
that separate sets of speaker
cable can be attached to the
low-frequency transducer and
midrange/high-frequency
transducer portions of the
Single-Stereo Amplifier
dividing network. This is
called bi-wiring. Bi-wiring
provides several sonic
advantages and considerably
more flexibility in power
amplifier selection.
Remove strapping bars.

Troubleshooting
If there is no sound from
any of the speakers, check
the following:
• Receiver/amplifier is on and
a source is playing.
• Review proper operation of
your receiver/amplifier.
If there is no sound coming
from one speaker, check the
following:
• Check the “Balance” control
on your receiver/amplifier.
• Check all wires and connections between receiver/
amplifier and speakers.
• Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none of
the speaker wires is frayed,
cut, or punctured.
If the system plays at low
volumes but shuts off as
volume is increased, check
the following:
• Check all wires and connections between receiver/
amplifier and speakers.
• Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the
speaker wires is frayed, cut,
or punctured.
• If more than one pair of
main speakers is being used,
check the minimum impedance requirements of your
receiver/amplifier.
If there is low bass output,
check the following:
• Make sure the polarity
(+ and –) of the left and
right “Speaker Inputs” are
connected properly.
If there is no sound from
the center speaker, check
the following:
• Make sure that your receiver’s Center Channel Mode is in
the ”normal“ or ”wide“ position. If it is in the ”phantom“
position, the center speaker
will not play.
• Check all connections
between processor/amplifier
and the center speaker.
