Connecting Speakers

Warning: Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
The outputs for each CP2000 channel comprise of one 1/4" phone jack and one pair of
5-way binding posts. The 1/4" phone jacks accept 1/4" phone plugs, while the 5-way
binding posts offer several methods of connection, including single or double banana
plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire.
For optimum performance, use quality
speaker cables with a suitable power rat-
ing.
Phone plugs should be wired as follows.
When connecting to the binding posts, be
sure to connect the speaker cables with the correct polarity, otherwise, the sound qual-
ity will be affected. The plus (+) terminal on the speaker must be connected to the bind-
ing post labelled (+), and the (–) terminal on the speaker must be connected to the
binding post labelled (–).
Caution for Speaker Connection
Turn off the POWER switch.

cally live terminal. When connecting an
external wire to this terminal, it is necessary

the connection can be made simply and without problem.
