CONNECTING YOUR BOOKSHELF LOUDSPEAKERS

This bookshelf loudspeaker has the same quality nickel-plated binding posts that will accommodate stripped wire, spade connectors or banana plugs. Be sure to use quality speaker cables, up to 12 gauge (AWG). The lowest gauge possible is recommended. Before using banana plugs, be sure to remove the black and red inserts on the binding posts. The straps connecting the binding posts should remain in place for conventional wiring, but may be removed where bi-wiring is preferred. See the following diagrams in the AMPLIFICATION section for further instructions.

AMPLIFICATION

Conventional amplification involves a single stereo amplifier wired to a single set of binding posts with straps connecting the second set of posts as seen in diagram above.
Simply attach the positive wire + to the red post, and the negative wire – to the black post.

ROOM POSITION

Placement of your bookshelf loudspeakers is a personal preference, but it is recommended that speakers be placed at least 6 feet apart whether they are being used for a stereo application or as the main left and right channels for a home theater. For best imaging and separation, the listening distance from the speakers should be about 1.5 times the distance the speakers are apart from each other.

Example: If the distance between each speaker and the listening position is 9 feet, then the speakers should be 6 feet apart from one another. Be sure that loudspeakers are placed at least 12 inches away from any wall. Further adjustments can be made to optimize your listening experience.

BI-AMPLIFICATION

This connection method uses two separate two-channel amplifiers to power one set of speakers. One amplifier is attached to one set of binding posts, and another identical amplifier is attached to the other set of binding posts. This is referred to as bi-amplification.

NOTE: Binding post wrench is included
