Receiver’s Speaker Outputs

Speakers and electronics 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
poor imaging.

To use the binding-post
speaker terminals, unscrew
the colored collar until the
pass-through hole in the cen­ter post is visible. 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.

BI-WIRING

The bi-wire connection
method requires one amplifier
and two sets of speaker wires.
By removing the shorting bars,
connections may be made to
the individual network
using four conductors,

sections

one for

each of the four terminals.

For single-wire connection,
leave the shorting bars in
place and connect only a sin­gle set of speaker wires (two
conductors) to the two upper
terminals.
