Loudspeaker Connections - Roksan Audio K3 Manual

The input sockets are labelled with their legends upside down as well as the
normal way up to assist you should you be connecting an input from a
position in front of and above the amplifier.
MC Input Connection
If you wish to use a Moving Coil Cartridge, an in-line MC step-up
transformer should be connected to the Phono Input. Alternatively a
dedicated Phono Stage can be connected to a line level input.
(NOTE: if you wish to connect to the Phono input, it must be set for line
level signal. See above). For advice and demonstration of ROKSAN state of
the art turntable reproduction systems contact your authorised retailer.

Loudspeaker Connections

The right and left loudspeakers are connected to the amplifier via the rear
panel binding posts (25) and (26) respectively. There are two basic types of
cable:
• Figure 8 cable has two insulated conductors which lie parallel, either side
by side, or spaced by insulation.
• Overall sheathed cable has both conductors insulated and enclosed in an
overall plastic sheath.
Carefully remove any over all sheath or split the figure 8 cable to a depth of
about 75mm (3"). Carefully strip the insulation on each wire to a depth of
about 12 mm (1/2") exposing the bare core. If the conductor is stranded,
twist the strands together on each conductor.
Unscrew the binding post. There is a cross-hole about 5 mm from the panel
end of the binding post. Insert the bared conductor through the hole and
tighten the binding post securely making sure that there are no loose
strands or bare ends protruding through the post. Carefully observe
polarity ensuring that the RED (+) speaker terminal is connected to the RED
(+) amplifier terminal and the BLACK (-) speaker terminal to the BLACK (-)
