1.

Strip

approximately

lA

inch

of

insulation

from

each

end

of

both

the

left

and

the

right

speaker

wires.

2.

Place

one

of

the

Model

101

speakers

on

the

left

side

of

your

room.

3.

Locate

the

terminals

on

the

rear

of

the

speaker

(see

FIGURE

1).

4.

Connect

one

conductor

of

the

left

speaker

wire

to

the

red

(positive)

terminal

on

the

speaker.

In

the

same

manner,

connect

the

other

conductor

to

the

black

(negative)

terminal

on

the

speaker.

5.

Locate

the

left

speaker

terminals

on

the

rear

of

your

amplifier

or

receiver.

They

are

usually

marked

"Speaker

Left"

or

"Spkr

Connect

the

other

ends

of

the

left

speaker

wire,

making

sure

to

connect

and

negative

negative

(see

FIGURE

6.

Place

the

other

Model

101

speaker

on

the

right

side

of

your

room.

7.

Connect

the

right

speaker

to

your

amplifier

or

receiver

in

the

Phasing

Test

To

make

sure

that

your

speakers

are

connected

to

your

receiver

in

phase

(positive

to

positive,

negative

to

negative),

perform

this

simple

test:

1.

Set

your

sound

system

for

MONO

(monophonic)

repro-

duction.

Be

sure

the

balance

control

is

centered

or

set

to

normal.

2.

Temporarily

place

the

loudspeakers

so

that

they

are

facing

each

other

closely.

3.

Play

music

containing

deep

bass

notes

through

the

system.

If

the

speakers

are

phased

correctly,

the

sound

will

appear

to

come

from

a

point

between

the

speakers

with

full,

natural

bass

response.

4.

If

the

music

seems

to

be

lacking

in

deep

bass,

reverse

the

+

and

—

connections

on

one

speaker

and

repeat

the test.

Use

the

connection

which

produces

the

most

powerful

bass.
