NORTHRIDGE™E SERIES

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Proper placement of the
speakers is an important step
in obtaining the most realistic
soundstage possible. These
recommendations are for the
optimum placement of the

loudspeakers. Use these
placement recommendations
as a guide. Slight variations
will not diminish your
listening pleasure.

All of the Northridge E Series
loudspeakers referred to in
this guide are video-shielded
and can safely be placed near
a television.

CONNECTION TIPS

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

With the advent of multichannel
surround sound systems, con­necting all of the speakers in
your system with the correct
polarity remains as important
as ever in order to preserve the
proper ambience and direction-

ality of the program material.
To use the binding-post speaker

terminals, unscrew the colored
collar until the pass-through
hole in the center post is visible
under the collar. Insert the bare
end of the wire through this
hole; then screw the collar
down until the connection is
tight.

The hole in the center of each
collar is intended for use with
banana-type connectors. To
comply with European CE
certification, these holes are
blocked with plastic inserts at
the point of manufacture.To use
banana-type connectors
requires the removal of the
inserts. Do not remove these
inserts if you are using the
product in an area covered by
the European CE certification.
