Connecting the Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• Turn off your amp before making any connections.
• The nominal impedance of these speakers is 6 Ω . Use
only an amp that supports this impedance.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Con-
nect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) termi-
nals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–)
terminals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage your
amp.
■ Connecting the Speaker Cables
1
Strip the insulation from the
ends of the speaker cables,
and twist the bare wires tightly.
2
Use the cables to connect each speaker's
input terminals to the corresponding
speaker output terminals on your amp.
To make a connection, while
pressing the terminal lever,
insert the wire into the hole, and
then release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are
gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Operating Precautions

The speakers can handle the specified input power when
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the fol-
lowing signals are fed to them, even if the input power
is within the specified rating, excessive current may
flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire break-
age:
1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, elec-
4. Amplifier oscillation.
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-
7. Microphone feedback.
• The speakers contain strong magnets, so do not put
magnetic or iron objects such as screwdrivers close to
them. If you do, the object may be attached to the
magnets, causing personal injury or damage to the
diaphragm.
