Speaker Connections

To connect your new speakers to your stereo or home theater
system, please follow these instructions.
1. Turn off the receiver or amplifier and unplug it from the
power outlet.
2. Use a 2-conductor, 16-gauge speaker wire (M&S part
number MS16X) for best results.
Note: Remove about 2 inches of the outside jacket from both ends of
the wire then strip approximately ½ inch of the insulation from each
conductor at the speaker end. Use the recommended strip length as
specified in the amplifier/receiver installation manual for the other end
of the wire.
3. Proper connection of the speaker wire is very important
to ensure full range sound. Most amplifiers and speakers
use red (for +) and black (for -) as the polarity markings.
Using the MS16X wire makes connections easy. The red
wire should be connected to the red terminal and the
black wire to the black terminal at the speakers and the
amplifier.
Note: When using another type of wire, such as a flat ribbon, you will
need to determine how the wire denotes one lead from another. This
usually takes the form of a rib or a color stripe in the insulation.
4. Repeat these steps for connection of all speakers to the
system.
