thicker the cable. Wire with a gauge of 16 may be used for
short runs of less than ten feet. We do not recommend that
you use any wires with an AWG equivalent of 18 or higher
due to the power loss and degradation in performance that

will occur.

match the output channel designations on the rear of your
processor (or other source equipment) to the input jacks
on the rear panel of the Model 7000x that have the same

plugging or unplugging. Loose connections can cause
intermittent sound and may damage your speakers. The
barrel assembly of some high quality RCA plugs may be
very tight, and it is important to assure a proper connec-

When making connections with XLR interconnects, the

When removing connections, make sure to press and
hold the locking tab while pulling the XLR connector

time, preserving the imaging of the program material.

Out-of-phase connections will result in some speaker cones
moving in while others move out, causing indistinct or
confused imaging, and muddled, cloudy sounds. To avoid
incorrect phasing or polarity, be certain to use cable that
has distinct markings, colors, stripes, wording, or grooves
on each side of the speaker cable.
adhere to a consistent pattern of using one side of the
wire to the red terminals and the other side to the black
terminals. If you are using speaker cable with markings on
one side only, convention is to consider the marked side
of the wire as the red, or positive (+) connection, and the
non-marked side as the black or negative (-) connection.
