Connecting the cables

1 Switch off the power to your amplifier.
2 Connect the speaker cables to the input terminals on the
back of the speaker. For input terminal polarity, red is
positive (+) and black is negative (–).
Loosen the knobs on the input terminals and insert the speaker
cable wires into each of the terminal post holes, then tighten the
knobs.

3 Connect the other ends of the cables to the amp's
output terminals (for more details, refer to your amp
instruction manual).
• You can also connect the speaker's terminals with a banana
plug. When using a banana plug, be sure to remove the cap at
the tip of the input terminal.
• After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make
sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the
terminals. Poor connections can create noise and
interruptions in the sound.
• If the cables' wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals,
allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it
places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may
cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the
amp.
• When using a set of speakers connected to an amplifier, you
won't be able to obtain the normal stereo effect if the polarity
(+, –) of one of the speakers (left or right) is reversed.
CAUTION
These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE
voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when
connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables,
disconnect the power cord before touching any
uninsulated parts.
