INSTALLATION
Banana Adapters Austere’s banana adapters have gold plated connectors to
reduce the chance of oxidation and keeping sound quality at its maximum.
Additionally, the connectors have been designed with SecureLatch to ensure a
strong, consistent connection, preserving signal integrity. Routing the
Speaker Cable Separate the blue Precision Pull Marker away from the cables by
approximately 2”. Route the cable by using the blue Precision Pull Marker to
pull the cable through walls and cabinets.
Using this marker removes any unnecessary stress on the speaker cable, keeping
it free from potentially unseen damage.
Prepping the Speaker Cable Once the cable has been routed, be sure to leave at least 1-2 feet of slack in the cable. If it is pulled too tight when you plug it in, the pressure could fray the cable or damage your sound equipment. Make sure to use proper wire cutters to clip the speaker wire to the length you need.
Further separate the individual wires away from the blue Precision Pull Marker by approximately 6”. If desired, you can cut off the excess Precision Pull Marker. Using wire strippers, strip away 5/8” of cable insulation from each cable end. A total of (4) wire ends should be prepped per speaker. Once the insulation has been stripped away, twist the ends of each wire so they do not spread apart. Do this to all (4) ends of exposed wire. Once all ends of the cable have been twisted, you can install the banana adapters.
Attaching the Banana Adapters Each adapter is color coded to indicate positive and negative. The connector with the red trim ring is typically used for the positive side, while the connector with the blue trim ring is typically used for the negative side. Watch our Austere Banana Adapter and Speaker Cable Video on YouTube for a visual of how to attach the adapters to the speaker cable.
-
Unscrew the goldplated connector of each adapter.
-
Slide one end of the cable all the way through the housing of one of the banana adapters until it stops.
-
Next evenly spread the wires over the self-crimping teeth.
-
Finally, replace the connector and securely fasten.
Repeat same steps for all banana adapters.
