SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
1. Use 16AWG (min) 2-conductor stranded speaker wire for speaker connection.
2. Strip approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch off the ends and twist the strands together so there are no
loose ends that can cause shorts.
3. Loosen the LDA5 speaker terminals as shown in
Diagram 3 so there is enough room between
the post and the collar to feed the stripped wire
through without damaging the strands.
4. Connect the marked conductor of the cable (it
may have a red jacket, or a white or blue stripe down the side) to the +/red terminal of the speaker.
Tighten the post to secure the wire.
5. Connect the other conductor of the cable to the -/black terminal of the speaker.
6. Repeat this process for all speakers.
7. Connect the speaker wires to the appropriate +/red and -/black terminals on the receiver/amplifier.
8. Confirm connection, polarity and position. Be sure all + and - are correct and that left, right, center and
surround speakers are connected to the proper terminals and positioned correctly. Improper position-
ing of multi-channel speakers will adversely affect system performance. (Diagram 4)
