Cable Wiring - Samson RSX115 Owner's Manual

Cable Wiring

The RSX series speaker connections are made via the rear panel 1/4-inch and/or Speakon®
connectors for easy interface with industry standard cables. Standard, unshielded speaker wire,
available at your local pro audio or music store, with either 1/4-inch phone or Speakon® con-
nectors and wire gauge of 12-14 awg is recommended.
If your amplifier uses binding posts you can use speaker cables with banana connectors, but be
sure to pay attention to the plus and minus polarity when making the connections. Make sure
that the + terminal of the speaker, or banana connector, is connected to the + terminal of the
power amplifier and that the - terminal of the speaker, or banana connector, is connected to the
- terminal of the power amplifier. It is important that your PA system is connected in-phase oth-
erwise you will not have the proper low-end response and stereo image.
