Cyrus Stereo 200
Connecting loudspeakers
Choice of speaker cables
When choosing speaker cables, avoid litz-wound cables with
a complex 'plaited wire' construction. These cables can be
highly reactive and may degrade the sound of your amplifier.
Always choose a cable of simple construction, manufactured
from high quality materials and priced sensibly within the
cabling budget of your system.
If in doubt about the correct cable to choose, any Cyrus
retailer will be able to advise.
CAUTION: The speaker outlets are only suitable for
connection directly to speakers. Never connect any switch-
box or other device to the speaker outlets.
Speaker cable polarity
Speaker cables will always include polarising marks such as a
rib or stripe to indicate the '+' wire and red/black identifiers
on the terminals. ensure you connect the red terminal/
striped cable to the + terminals.
Cable termination
Speaker cables for use with the Stereo 200 may be terminated
with spade tags, 4mm plugs or bare wire ends.
Of these choices, 4mm plugs are the most convenient to
connect/disconnect and are easiest to fit to most cables.
Spade tags will give the best quality connection. Bare wire
ends may be used, but very thin or highly stranded cables
may be better with plug or spade termination to protect the
fragile cable end.
