Connections This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting to an amplifier. Connecting the cables 1 Switch off the power to your amplifier. 2 Connect the speaker cables to the input terminals on the back of the speaker. For input terminal polarity, red is positive (+) and black is negative (-). Loosen the knobs on the input terminals and insert the speaker cable wires into each of the terminal post holes, then tighten the knobs. Black terminal (−) Red terminal (+) Common-side speaker cord Hot-side speaker cord 3 Connect the other ends of the cables to the amp's speaker output terminals (for more details, refer to your amp instruction manual). • You can also connect the speaker's terminals with a banana plug. • When using a banana plug, first remove the caps covering the speaker terminal. • After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions in the sound. • If the cables' wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp. • When using a set of speakers connected to an amplifier, you won't be able to obtain the normal stereo effect if the polarity (+, -) of one of the speakers (left or right) is reversed. CAUTION These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts. D3-4-2-2-3_A_En 4 En
