Performance Considerations
Like all speakers, the LS series of Indoor/Outdoor speakers
sound best when placed in the line of sight to the listener,
with no obstructions.
Caution: Do not place them within two feet of CRT type
television or computer screens, as these speakers are not
video shielded (LCD and Plasma monitors are not affected).
Connecting the Speakers to Your Audio
System
The LS425/445 speakers have convenient color coded spring
terminals that will accept 16-12 gauge speaker wire. After
stripping the ends of your speaker wire, press open the
terminal tab to reveal the eye. Thread the wire into the eye
and release the tab.
Speaker wire is usually coded to maintain proper system phas-
ing. This can be by color coding, or one conductor may have a
printed marking or a rib along one edge that will not be found on
the other. You must carefully observe that the positive terminal of
the speaker output on your amplifi er is connected to the posi-
tive terminal of the LS425/445 speaker. Likewise, the negative
terminal of the amplifi er’s speaker output should be connected
to the negative terminal of the LS425/445 speaker (Fig. 2).
