CONNECTIONS/WIRING

Connecting the SIGMA Series to your system is easy. The input panel includes parallel Speakon connectors. Run
your speaker wires from your amplifier to the speaker - you can use either input connector. Use the correct gauge
of stranded insulated speaker cable according to the power handling ability of your SIGMA Series cabinet. It is
always advisable to use heavier gauge (lower number) cables on longer runs. Be sure to connect your speakers in
proper polarity (what many refer to erroneously, as phase).This means that in normal operation, connect one end
of the same wire to the + or Red terminal on the amplifier and the other end to the +1 on the NL4 Connector. The
other wire is connected to the-1 pin on the NL4 CONNECTOR. Be sure to use high quality, low gauge (thick) speaker
wire and NOT shielded cable.
SIGMA SERIES CONNECTION PANELS
The SIGMA Series loudspeakers feature parallel wire inputs. Either input can be used for a simple system and 2
speakers can be parallel wired using a standard speaker cable. When Parallel wiring loudspeakers always take in
consideration the load you are putting on your amplifier. 2 parallel wired SIGMA loudspeakers will produce a 4
ohm load.
