Loudspeaker Connections - Roksan Audio Caspian Manual

Caspian Integrated Amplifier
Manual
The right and left loudspeakers are connected to the amplifier via the rear panel binding posts
(11) and (12) 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 overall 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 12mm (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 5mm from
the panel end of the binding post. Insert the bared conductor
through the hole and tighten the binding post securely mak-
ing 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 (-) amplifier terminal.
When both left and right channels are connected to their re-
spective speakers the amplifier is ready for use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality cables
such as ROKSAN HDC-02S high definition Loudspeaker Cable. Many speaker cables such as the
ROKSAN HDC-02S are directional. Please observe this directionality. DO NOT use speaker cable
with conductor size less than 16 AWG (1.6mm Diameter). The binding posts accept conductor
sizes up to 12 AWG.
