m 3 Connection #2 Connect the free ends of that same cord to N the left speaker. Attach the stripped end of the marked wire to the red (+) push type terminal. Go Attach the stripped end of the plain wire to the black (-) push type terminal. Connection #3 Select the second cord and connect it to the tight channel of your amplifier or receiver. aft Attach one stripped end of the marked wire to the red (+) terminal. Attach the stripped end of the plain wire to the black (-) terminal. Connection #4 Connect the free end of that same wire to the right speaker. • Attach the stripped end of the marked wire to the red (+) push type terminal. Attach the stripped end of the plain wire to the black (-) push type terminal. Check very carefully to be certain that no loose strands of wire are accidentally touching across terminals on the speakers or the amplifier. This could create short circuits which can damage your amplifier. Repair any loose wire strands before operating your amplifier or receiver. Plug your amplifier or receiver into the AC power supply before testing your connections. Testing the connections To make sure that the speakers are connected to your amplifier In phase' - positive to positive, negative to negative - perform this simple test. 1. Set your sound system for MONO (monophonic) reproduction. Be sure the balance control is centered or set to normal. 2. Temporarily place the speakers close together, facing each other. 3. Now, play some deep bass music over the system. If your speakers are correctly phased, the sound will appear to come from between the speakers, providing full, natural bass response. 4. If the music seems to be lacking in deep bass, reverse the + and - wire connections on one speaker and repeat the test. Use the connection that produces the most powerful bass. 4
