Speaker Connections - JBL CENTURY GOLD Owner's Manual

Speaker Connections

Century Gold
The loudspeakers can be connected by one of several
methods. The binding posts on the rear panel of the
will accept most types of audio cable and connectors, including banana
plugs and bare wire (Figure 6). Follow the hookup method that best
describes your system.
Standard Connections (Figure 7)
1. For each channel, connect the red (+) terminal on the
Century Gold
to the red (+) terminal on your amplifier.
2. For each channel, connect the black (-) terminal on the
Century Gold
to the black (-) terminal on the amplifier.
Connecting the systems in this manner ensures that they will operate in
phase; that is, they will work together rather than in opposition.
Connecting the speaker system out of phase will not cause damage but
will adversely affect the speaker's sound.
