CONNECTION TIPS

Speakers and electronics
terminals have corresponding (+)
and (–) terminals. It is important
to connect both speakers
identically: (+) on the speaker to
(+) on the amplifier and (–) on the
speaker to (–) on the amplifier.
Wiring "out of phase" results in
thin sound, weak bass and a poor
stereo image. With the advent of
multichannel surround sound
systems, connecting all of the
speakers in your system with the

visible under the collar. Insert the

These models are shipped with
four self-adhesive nonskid pads
that are to be used when the
loudspeaker is intended to be
placed on a smooth-surfaced
floor, such as tile or hardwood.

nonabrasive surface. Attach each
pad to the bottom of its foot in the
widest portion of the recessed
area.
DO NOT attach the pads if
the speaker will be placed
on carpeting.
NEVER drag the speaker to move

anchoring bookcases and wall
units. Customer is responsible for
