highest quality loudspeaker cables, particularly those designed for high frequency propa-
gation correction and phase linearity. Beware of "zip cord" type speaker cables, which
will smear the sound and limit their ef fective bandwidth. Also, do not use braided litz-type
loudspeaker cables as they will cause an unnatural brightness to the sound, compromise
sound staging performance, and may cause instability, oscillation, and damage in wide
bandwidth solid state amplifiers.
Spade Lugs
The spade lugs of some of the high quality cables of ten used with the Mezzo Con-
vergent Synergy are angled to reduce pressures on the cable during installation. Avoid the
instinct to push the cable's spade lug ends all the way into the Mezzo Convergent Syn-
ergy's connectors (see Figure 13). Partial insertion of these angled spade lugs will actually
improve the reliability of the connection. Flat lugs may be fully inserted to connectors
before tightening.
Connection of the Mezzo Convergent Synergy to the Power Amplifier
1. Turn of f the power amplifier(s) and remove the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.
2. Lay out the speaker cables before hooking them up to the Mezzo Convergent
Synergy. Make sure that there are no kinks, twists, or right-angled bends in
the cable. If you need to turn corners, at tempt to use a gradual curve as op-
posed to a severe right-angled bend.
3. Connect the negative (normally black) end of the speaker cable to the high
current speaker binding post with the silk-screened "–" above it (see Figure
12).
Note: Do not overtighten the binding posts. Overtightening can cause the posts
to break off.
4. Connect the positive (normally red) end of the speaker cable to the high cur-

rent speaker binding post with the silk-screened "+" above it.
5. Plug your amplifier(s) AC power cord into the wall outlet.
Note: Always attempt to keep your set (LRC) of speaker cables the same length. This will
ensure that the signals arrive at each speaker in the proper time frame, by traveling the
same distance to each speaker.
Mezzo Convergent Synergy Setup Completed
This completes the initial setup of you Mezzo Convergent Synergy. Final system tun-
ing and voicing should be performed as outlined in Section 5. Section 5 will evaluate your
entire speaker setup and allow you to make small modifications in speaker rotation and
location that will greatly improve the performance of your multi-channel audio or home
theater system.
