Stereo Connections
Standard Connections
Connect the RED (+) terminal of the RIGHT loudspeaker to the RED, Positive (+) terminal on the RIGHT
channel of the amplifier. Connect the BLACK (–) terminal of the loudspeaker to the matching BLACK,
Negative (–) terminal of the amplifier. Repeat this procedure for the LEFT channel.
In the case of the 3050 you may use any convenient Positive(+) or Negative (–) terminal. Refer to the

RIGHT SPEAKER
Bi-Wiring
Directly connecting the treble and bass networks of a loudspeaker to an amplifier improves both
bass performance and dynamic range.
To bi-wire: Prepare two twin cables for each loudspeaker. Unscrew all the loudspeaker terminals
and remove both links. Now connect the treble terminals and the bass terminals to the amplifier
following the procedure described in Standard Wiring. Refer to the illustration below.
When your speakers are connected: Switch on the system and play some music at moderate level.
Fine tune the speaker placement to suit.
