Chapter 3: Connections
The A2 has several rear panel connections so it is important to label all cables and wires correctly. Label all input/
output cable and speaker wires with their destination or source. This will save time during installation and any future
upgrades to the system.
Use high quality line level RCA connector type cables for source connections to ensure the lowest possible noise
and best sound performance. For most applications use 16AWG 2 conductor speaker cable. For wiring runs longer
than 80 ft. it is recommended to use 14AWG 2 conductor speaker cable. The A2's high quality, gold plated 5-way
binding post will accommodate speaker cabling sizes up to 12AWG. Attaching banana plugs will enable the connec-
tion of larger cable sizes. A 3.5mm mono interconnect cable may be used for amplifier and systems triggering.
Line Level Audio Inputs
Connect the zones by inserting the RCA connectors into the dedicated direct input jack on each channel.
