Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a trip hazard.
1. Pull the power plug of your amplifi er/AV receiver or multi- channel active subwoofer out of the outlet.
2. Lay the speaker cables from your amplifi er/AV receiver or multi-channel active subwoofer to each speaker. These cables should be high-quality double-wire speaker cable with marked strands. The diameter should amount to at least 1.5 mm
2
.
3. A connector comprising two terminals is located on the back side of each speaker, to which you have to connect the speaker cables. The terminal clips are each marked red (+) and black (-).
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like coloured terminals. Otherwise the
sound quality will suffer. The speaker connections of your amplifi er/AV receiver or multi-channel active subwoofer
should be marked similarly. The strands of the speaker cables are marked with different colours or shapes.
4. Split the single wire down to approx. 30 mm on both ends and strip approx. 10 mm of insulation off of each cord.
5. Twist the stripped single wire ends together so that no wire protrudes. Tin coating is not necessary.
6. Turn the connector terminal counterclockwise until loose. Run the stripped cable end into the now visible hole. Close the terminal by turning it counter clockwise. The cable has now been clamped in place.
7. Connect the cables to the other speaker in the same way.
8. Connect the speaker cables to your amplifi er/AV receiver
or multi-channel active subwoofer. The operating instructions of the appliance should contain notes on this.
9. Reinsert the power plug of your amplifi er/AV receiver or multi-channel active subwoofer into the outlet.

• Rub off stubborn dirt with a damp cloth. Make sure that no liquids penetrate the speakers.
• Then immediately wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth and without applying pressure.

wrong poles.
Verify the correct connection of the cables for all speak­ers.
