5. Solder this connection. A high-wattage soldering gun may be
necessary to provide adequate heat.
6. Lightly "tin" the remaining (1/2") bare end of the 14-gauge wire.
7. Gently slide a 1" length of shrink tubing (5/8" diameter tubing for
HF10C) over the connection and heat to shrink. (Colored shrink
tubing is available for polarity identification.)
8. Follow this procedure for the three remaining speaker
connections.
Depending upon the type of speaker terminal, you may also use this
procedure for the speaker end of the cable.
After completing the speaker cables, connect the left-channel +
(positive or red) output post of the Nº27.5 to the + (positive or red)
input terminal of the appropriate loudspeaker.
Connect the left-channel – (negative or black) output post of the
Nº27.5 to the – (negative or black) input terminal of the appropriate
loudspeaker.
Repeat this procedure for the right channel.
