Speaker Binding Post

The D16 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 destination 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 method; 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
