Connecting the speakers
This section explains how to conect your speakers to your amplifier.
Before connecting the speakers make sure that your amplifier is turned off.
Turn off the subwoofer before connecting the input signal cable on its internal
amplifier.
Connect the plus (+) and minus (-) terminals of each speaker to the corresponding
plus (+) and minus (-) terminals on the amplifier.
If a biwire type of connection is used (except System 2, System 5 and System
Dipole 4 that have single wire binding posts), the gold plated bridges must be taken
off. Unscrew the binding post’s screws and pull off the two bridges. Tighten the
screws.
If you use bare speaker wire at the speaker terminals, remove the binding post’s
screw and place the bare wire into the side opening of the terminal. Then tighten the
screw.
If a banana plug type is used, just push the plug into the binding post’s top hole.
