SPEAKER CONNECTION (continued) Standard Connection for Prestige 15B Your speakers' binding posts can be used with banana, pin or spade connectors, as well as with bare wire. Tighten the posts firmly by hand but do not over tighten! Correct polarity (or phase) is critical for proper soundstage imaging and bass performance. Connect one speaker at a time to ensure proper connection of every channel. The red (+) amplifier terminal must be connected to the red (+) speaker terminal. The same applies to the black (-) terminals. Make sure all wires are firmly fastened. Repeat this connection procedure for each speaker in your system. NOTE: If you hear a distinct lack of bass and a dislocated stereo image then one or more of your speakers may be connected out of phase (polarity is reversed). Re-check to ensure that each speaker's cable is connected with correct polarity: red (+) to red (+) and black (-) to black (-). -+ 14

SPEAKER CONNECTION
(continued)
Standard Connection for Prestige 15B
Your speakers’ binding posts can be used with banana, pin or spade connectors, as
well as with bare wire. Tighten the posts firmly by hand but do not over tighten!
Correct polarity (or phase) is critical for proper soundstage imaging and bass performance.
Connect one speaker at a time to ensure proper connection of every channel. The red (+)
amplifier terminal must be connected to the red (+) speaker terminal. The same applies
to the black (–) terminals. Make sure all wires are firmly fastened. Repeat this connection
procedure for each speaker in your system.
NOTE:
If you hear a distinct lack of bass and a dislocated stereo image then one or
more of your speakers may be connected out of phase (polarity is reversed). Re-check
to ensure that each speaker’s cable is connected with correct polarity: red (+) to red
(+) and black (–) to black (–).
