How to Wire Your Speakers You need to wire your speakers correctly to obtain the best sound quality and the proper image. Wiring should just take a few minutes, but it’s important to do it carefully, since incorrect wiring (such as reversed connections) can result in a poor soundstage or poor bass. We recommend using 18-gauge or larger speaker wire for runs up to 25 feet (8m), and thicker 16-gauge or larger for longer runs.

Diffuse Sound In a movie theater, a diffuse surround sound field is created by using an array of surround speakers around the sides and rear of the theater. Since this is not practical in the home, a diffuse-field speaker achieves the same effect with a single pair of speakers.

Connecting Your VRS Micro Speakers Connect the speaker’s terminals to those on the amplifier or receiver designated for “surround” or “rear channel effects.” Maintain consistency of the + (red) and – (black) connections by using the markings on the wire. We recommend 18-gauge (or heavier) speaker wire for runs up to 25' (8m), and thicker 16-gauge speaker wire for longer runs.
Room Placement Room placement is one of the most important factors contributing to the quality of home theater sound. Take a few minutes to place your speakers correctly to ensure they will sound their best. Place the VRS Micro speakers on either side of the listening area.

Listening Levels and Power-Handling IMPORTANT: Adjusting Listening Volume–To obtain the best home theater effect, balance the sound level of each speaker. Home theater systems contain a test signal that simplifies this proce- dure. Refer to the instructions provided with your surround sound electronics. The power recommendation for the speaker assumes the amplifier is not overdriven, which, over a long period, can damage even our rugged speakers.
