Connecting To Loudspeakers - Bryston 14B3 Owner's Manual

Connecting to Loudspeakers

Connection to loudspeakers is accomplished by
attaching high quality speaker cable to the Output
Binding Posts (see "Rear Panel" on page 8) per
the following instructions.
The RED binding post is connected to the positive
channel output. Connect this post to the (+)
terminal on the loudspeaker.
The BLUE binding post is connected to the negative
(-) output. Connect this post to the (-) terminal on
the loudspeaker.
Never connect either binding post to a ground! The
amplifier is balanced.
The output binding posts provide three different
interconnect options. Combinations may be used
when bi-wiring. Cables should be kept as short
as practical and should never be terminated with
connectors that may become confused for AC
power connectors. Cables should be dressed away
from input and power cables.
Banana plugs offer a quick disconnect option.
Before inserting a banana plug into the binding
post, be sure to tighten the post nut to avoid rattling
and to provide full insertion of the banana plug.
Gold plated locking banana plugs are available from
Bryston.
Spade lugs provide high contact area and
secure fastening. Lugs should be gold plated.

Post diameter is 5/16"
(8mm ), lug width 5/8" (16 mm).
Gold plated spade lugs are
available from Bryston.
Stripped bare wire up to 3 gauge
can be inserted through the hole in the binding
post and held in place by tightening the post knob.
Additional tightening pressure can be achieved
using a coin in the slots of the knob. Do not over
tighten or the binding post may become damaged.
Note that copper wire is malleable and may require
further tightening after the initial installation.
To prevent the risk of equipment damage or
personal harm, use only Class 2 rated loudspeaker
wire properly terminated and connected securely to
the binding posts.
Connecting Audio Inputs
The Bryston Cubed amplifier can receive analog
audio from any preamp or surround processor with
volume controlled line-level outputs. Balanced XLR
and TRS as well as singled ended RCA inputs are
both available and can be selected using the Input
Select switch on the rear panel of the amplifier.
