STEREO SYSTEM SETUP
Your SX-434 is ideally suited to form the heart of
a stereophonic
reproduction
system
of the very
highest quality. Use it, as shown in Fig. 1, with the
speaker
systems and other components
of your
choice,
including
turntable,
tape
deck
(either
open-reel
or cassette
type)
and microphone
(for
use in a public address system), etc.

A WORD
ABOUT
ROOM
ACOUSTICS
The sound that you hear is greatly influenced by
the size and shape of the room, by the location of
the
loudspeakers,
by the materials
used for the
walls,
ceiling
and
floor,
by
the
amount
and
distribution
of
furniture,
carpets,
draperies.
Generally, it is advisable to place the speakers with
their backs against a wall as this will improve bass
response.
Bare rooms with low ceilings, hard floors and hard,
reflective walls, especially a hard wall facing the
speakers,
can
cause
very
"live,"
brilliant sound
with
lack
of clear
instrument
localization
and
definition. In such a case, it usually helps to puta
carpet
and
heavy,
soft
curtains
in the
room.
Conversely, rooms with heavy carpeting and a great.
deal
of upholstered
furniture
make
the sound
"dead" — often, re-arranging the furniture helps in
this case.
SPEAKER SYSTEM
CONNECTION
Two sets of speaker output terminals (A and B) of
the Receiver
can
accept
two
pairs of speakers,
connect
them
to
the
A
speaker
terminals
as
follows. See Fig. 2. Speaker wire is often supplied
with the speaker.
® Connect
the right channel speaker (the right-
hand
speaker when viewed from the front) to
the
speaker
terminals
marked
'"R"
on
the
Receiver.
®@ Connect the left channel speaker (the left-hand
speaker
when
viewed
from
the front) to the
speaker terminals marked '"'L" on the Receiver.
Use common
two-pole lead wire, preferable with
the two different-colored leads for easy identifica-
tion.
Be sure
to connect
the
plus (+) terminal
(red
terminal) on the Receiver to the (+) terminal on
the speaker, and the minus
(—) terminal
(black
terminal) on the Receiver to the (—) terminal on
the speaker.
A second
pair of speakers can be
connected to the B speaker terminals in the same
way.
NOTE:
When two pairs (A+B) of speakers are to be used at the same time,
each speaker must have an impedance of 8 ohms or more.
