Connecting Passive Loudspeakers

Stereo Connections

Standard Connections
Each loudspeaker is provided with a cable guide so you can dress the
cables neatly. The 1010i, 1020i, 1030i and 1050i and 1000Ci have the
guide fitted at the bottom of the crossover terminal panel.
Thread the cable up through the guide before connecting the
loudspeaker.
Connect the RED (+) terminal of the RIGHT loudspeaker to the RED,
Positive (+) terminal on the RIGHT channel of the amplifier. Connect the
BLACK (–) terminal of the loudspeaker to the matching BLACK,
Negative (–) terminal of the amplifier.
Repeat this procedure for the LEFT channel.
In the case of the 1020i, 1030i and 1050i you may use any convenient
Positive(+) or Negative (–) terminal. Refer to the illustration below.

Bi-Wiring

Directly connecting the treble and bass networks of a loudspeaker to an
amplifier improves both bass performance and dynamic range.
To bi-wire: Prepare two twin cables for each loudspeaker. Unscrew all
the loudspeaker terminals and remove both links. Now connect the
treble terminals and the bass terminals to the amplifier following the
procedure described in Standard Wiring. Refer to the illustration below.
