Connections, Speakers

Page 6 highlights

Connections to Speakers Connections to the speakers from the system's amplifier may be made using bare wire, banana plugs or spade lugs. If bare wire is used for the connections, strip approximately 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch (20mm) of insulation from the end of each wire and carefully twist the strands of each conductor together. Be careful not to cut the individual strands or twist them off; for optimal performance, all strands must be used. Before connecting the wires to the speaker, note that the binding post connections in the terminal cup have black and red colored rings on the gold-plated terminal screws. These are your keys to maintaining correct phasing with the amplifier and processor. Figure 1 Terminal Cup
