CONNECTING YOUR AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER

Before making connections, make sure that the
amplifier/receiver is switched off.
• When connecting, also refer to the owner's manual of the
connected equipment.

Connections

• Connect the push input terminals at the rear of the
speaker to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier/
receiver with the speaker cables (not included).
• Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel
(R), "+" (red) and "–" (black) properly. If the speaker is
connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be
unnatural and lack bass.

How to connect

1
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of insulation
from the end of each speaker cable using wire
strippers, and then twist the exposed wires of the
cable together to prevent short circuits.
2
Press and hold down the speaker terminal.
3
Insert the bare wire into the hole in the side of
each terminal.

• Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on
the cable at the terminal.
CAUTION
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this
could damage the speaker or amplifier/receiver, or both.

After connecting

• Lower the power amplifier/receiver volume control
before changing input sources. Never change input
sources (for example, FM to CD) at high listening
levels. Always turn the receiver/amplifier unit off when
installing or removing any cables.
• Anytime you note distortion, reduce the volume
control on your power amplifier/receiver to a lower
setting. Never allow your power amplifier to be driven
into "clipping".

PAINTING THE SPEAKER GRILLE

The speaker grille can be painted to match your room
décor. Use high quality spray paint and select a well
ventilated area before proceeding.
1
Carefully remove the grille from the speaker if
attached.
2
Remove the scrim cloth that is attached to the
back of the grille. (The adhesive that holds the
cloth in place is reusable.)
3
Apply the paint to the grille.
• Make sure that the grille holes remain free of paint.
• Clogging the holes with paint may diminish the sound
quality.
4
When the paint has fully dried, re-attach the
scrim cloth to the back of the grille.
5
Re-install the grille on the speaker.
