    Never connect an output terminal to ground, or to any other input or output. Observe relative loudspeaker polarity: loudspeakers connected in reverse polarity will exhibit degraded performance, particularly in bass frequen- cies, and may be damaged as a consequence. Use a high-quality stranded loudspeaker cable, and keep cable runs as short as possible.
