two. Speaker Connections
Connection Tips
Separate and strip the ends of
the speaker wire as shown.
Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+)
and (–) terminals. It is impor-
tant 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.
Troubleshooting
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 are frayed, cut, or
punctured.
• If more than one pair of
main speakers is being used,
check the minimum impedance requirements of your
receiver/amplifier.

selection and use of mounting hardware,
available through hardware stores, to
properly and safely wall-mount the
speakers. This product is not intended
for ceiling mounting.
**The maximum recommended amplifier
power rating will ensure proper system
headroom to allow for occasional
program peaks. We do not recommend
sustained operation at these maximum
power levels.
Occasional refinements may be made to
existing products without notice, but
will always meet or exceed original
specifications unless otherwise stated.
