CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS

CAUTION
 When connecting speakers or other components, always turn off the power to the amplifier, and disconnect the power cord.
 Speaker cables are not furnished with this speaker system, and must be purchased separately.
 After connecting the speakers, gently pull on the speaker cables to confirm that each cable wire is connected securely to its
respective terminal. Loose connections may result in interrupted sound or noise.
 Do not allow wires from one connector or cable to touch those from another, since excessive load may be applied to the
amplifier, causing the amplifier to stop operating or be damaged.
 If the polarity (+/−) of either right or left speaker is mistakenly reversed when connected to the amplifier, the speakers will
be unable to produce proper stereo phase effect.

Input terminal specifications

This speaker system is provided with LF (Low-Frequency) input terminals for the woofer, and HF (High-Frequency) input terminals for CST
(Coherent Source Transducer) connections.

Single-Wire Connections

When adopting single-wire connections, use the furnished accessory shorting links to connect the LF input terminals (for woofer) to the HF
input terminals (for CST).
Use the shorting links to connect the upper/lower HF input terminals to the upper/lower LF input terminals as shown in Figure 2, then
connect the positive (+) speaker wire from the amplifier to either of the speaker's red connector terminals, and the negative (−) speaker
wire from the amplifier to either of the speaker's black connector terminals.
