Connecting Your Loudspeakers Since in most cases the C/L/R 2500 will be used as a center channel, we will give hook-up instructions as such. If you use C/L/R 2500s across the front (or a pair in stereo) simply hook-up each C/L/R 2500 by repeating similar hook ups for the left and right channel C/L/R 2500s to their appropriate channel as for the center. Connecting Each Speaker with One Pair of Speaker Wires Only When the C/L/R 2500(s) are hooked up using simply one set of speaker wire per speaker (with no separate low-level input for the subwoofer section) a special circuit takes an infinitesimally small signal from the speaker level input and converts it to a low-level signal which then drives the subwoofer power amp. With all the gold jumpers in place, (see diagram # 1) simply connect any of the red (+) terminals of the speaker to the red (+) terminal of the center channel speaker level outputs on your amplifier or receiver, and any of the black (-) terminals of each speaker to the black (-) terminal of the center speaker level outputs channel on your amplifier or receiver. It is essential that all the speakers (center, left, right and rears) be connected in the same way (in phase) to its own channel of the amplifier. If you experience a great lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase with the other.
