ti ire ash lv"•+ 4. tkrit Ile+N Choose the cord It is important to use the proper gauge (thickness) of speaker cord. Standard zip cord M (2-conductor, 18-gauge wire) works for most applications. You can find this wire at most C electrical and hardware stores. You will need thicker wire if your speakers will be more than 30 feet from a receiver or amplifier. Refer to the wire recommendations under "Technical information" on page 10, or contact your authorized Bose° dealer for more information. Note: Before running speaker cord through a wall or under a floor, check your local building code requirements and safety regulations. You may want to contact an electrical installer for this information. CAUTION: Never use broken or frayed wiring, which can result in electrical shock or damage. Prepare the cord Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is marked (striped, collared, or ribbed). This marked wire is always positive (+). The plain wire is always • i negative (-). These wires correspond to the red (+) and black (-) terminals on the speakers and the receiver or amplifier. At the ends of each cord, strip approximately'' inch (12 mm) of insulation from both wires. Twist the bare end of each wire, so loose strands will not touch across terminals. Be sure to connect each wire to the proper terminal (positive to positive and negative to negative). Note: It is sometimes difficult to distinguish wire markings. Inspect both wires carefully. Make the connections Just press the terminal tab on the back of each speaker to insert the appropriate wire Figure 3). 1. Connect one speaker cord to your right speaker. a. Attach the marked wire to the red (+) terminal. b. Attach the plain wire to the black (-) terminal. 2.
