Hooking Up Speaker Cables
The Speaker Connectors can accommodate up to 10AWG speaker cables as well
as most of popular plugs (banana etc.). A 10AWG cable is recommended for longer
connections (greater than 20 meters / 66 feet). For shorter lengths you can use 12/14
or 18 AWG cables. It is recommended to leave about 150 cm (5 feet) of extra cable
at the amplier end to facilitate positioning and installation of the amplier. Do not use
staples, nails or other metal objects to secure the cables. You will get the best sound
quality and least amount of hum by keeping the cables away from other electrical wires
and cables.
Pay attention to connecting the polarity of the amplier correctly with the speakers
in each speaker group (speakers should be connected RED + with RED + amplier
connector, BLACK – with BLACK – amplier connector). Before connecting make sure
that your amplier is switched o.
Please refer to your speaker instruction manual for more information.
