Loudspeakers and their cables can be connected to the amplifier in a number of
ways. The following sections guide you through the different options available to you
depending on your electronics, cable and personal choice/ preference.
The right and left loudspeakers are connected to the amplifier via the binding posts. The
amplifier offers the standard 4mm banana plugs or bare wire connections.
Litz-wound loudspeaker cables or those with a complex plaited construction can
present a highly capacitive load to an amplifier and may cause damage to the
amplifier and/ or degrade the sound of your system. Choose a cable of simple
construction, manufactured from high-quality materials. Your ROKSAN retailer will be
able to advise.
NOTE: DO NOT use speaker cable with conductor size less than 16 AWG
(1.6 mm diameter) or greater than 12 AWG (2.05 mm diameter).
NOTE: We strongly recommend that you use professionally terminated speaker
cables using 4mm plugs. Any attempt to connect cables which are not
terminated may result in damage to the amplifier if not done correctly.
Making a connection using bare wire must be done
correctly so that there are no stray strands of wire to touch
the opposite terminal. Carefully strip the insulation on each
wire exposing about 12mm (1/2") of the conductors. If the
conductor is stranded, twist the strands together on each
conductor.
Unscrew the binding post and feed it through the cross-
hole and tighten the binding post securely making sure that
there are no loose strands or bare ends protruding through
the post.

Speaker Connection Polarity

Carefully observe polarity ensuring that the red (+) speaker terminal/ cable is connected
to the red (+) amplifier terminal and the black (-) speaker terminal/ cable to the black (-)
amplifier terminal.
When both left and right loudspeaker outputs are connected to their respective
loudspeakers the amplifier is ready for use.
