This wire is often color-coded. re else has a ribbed bne(s) running along one conductor so that each conductor can be easily identified for proper connection of your speakers. 5. Connection Fodow the next trocecture carefully to assure that both 681- speakers are properly connectedIn your music system. Refer to Figure 2. 1. Unplug your amplifier or receiver from the power mains before attempting to connect the loudspeakers. 2.

Do not connect any wires to the terminal marked'. This terminal is designed for use with future Bose' high fidelity products and should not be used al this time (see note below). 5. Conned one conductor to the lel 'lanai marked-on the left speaker. Connect the other end of the same conductor tollle terminal marked COM, MEG or -on the left channel ol your amplifier. Use the colorcoding or ribbed line(s) on the wire to be sure you are using the same conductor. 6. In the same manner, connect the + terminal of the felt speaker In the terminal marked POS or + on the felt an cl camel.

Repeal steps 4 through 6 above. connecting the Part 2 (right) speaker to the right channel ol your amplifier.1iglMen all terminal connections firmly. 8. Check very carefully to be certain that no loose strands of wire are "bridged" across the terminals of either the speakers or the amplifier. Bridged wires create short circuits which can damage your amplifier. Repair any loose wire strands before plugging in yolif amplifier or receiver. 6. Phasing Test II there is a question whether the speakers are connected lo your amplifier "in phase" (i.e.: 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 cen• tered or set to normal. 2. Position the speakers so they are facing each ether closely.
