Speaker Binding Post

The D12 is equipped with gold plated, 5-way speaker binding post. This will allow for five methods of speaker wire
termination; bare wire, spade lug, pin, single banana and dual banana plug. Label all speaker wires with their desti-
nation to ensure easy configuration. To attach speaker wires use the following method:
1. Carefully split the speaker wire insulation at least two inches.
2. Strip 1/2 inch of the insulation from the speaker wire conductor exposing the bare wire.
3.Twist the wire strands of each conductor, if using banana plugs, attach wire to banana plug observing polarity.
4. If using banana plug; insert plug ends into binding post observing correct polarity. If using the bare wire meth-
od; loosen red and black binding post caps and insert the bare wire through the hole in the post. Tighten the knob
until the wire is securely clamped.
CAUTION! Speaker Wire connections must be made with the amplifier OFF!
