Connection Instructions
The Connections for the Veritas
™
Series speakers are quite
similar to any standard speaker with bi-wire/ bi-amp
options. There are 4 Gold Plated Connectors on the rear
of the speaker enclosure, and although they look unique,
they are traditional in function.
TRADITIONAL
CONNECTION METHOD
1) Using your choice of bare wire, banana-type jacks, or
spade lugs, connect the speaker cable (minding the
positive and negative polarities), to the lower set of
connectors. Ensure the terminals are tight.
2) Repeat the procedure for the second speaker.
See Figure 3.
NOTE: Please ensure the positive and negative
terminals on the speaker match the positive and
negative terminals on the amplifier. Reversing these
will cause an abnormal sound, and a total
reduction of bass frequencies under normal
listening conditions.
BI-WIRE METHOD
This method involves using 2-channels of amplification,
with multiple cables and connectors, to access both sets of
terminals on the Veritas
™
Loudspeakers. The benefit of bi-
wiring is to reduce noise, and reduce the likelihood of
grounding problems, as you will have twice the thickness
of cable between the amp and speakers as the traditional
method would provide. For more details on the benefits
of bi-wiring, please discuss this your authorized
ENERGY
®
retailer.
NOTE: Before starting, remove the gold straps,
which connect the top and bottom set of terminals.
To remove the straps, loosen the connectors, pull
the straps up, and then towards you through the
large hole. Make sure you put them in a safe place
for future use.
1) Using your choice of bare wire,
banana-type jacks, or spade lugs,
connect one speaker cable from
the amplifier (minding the
positive and negative polarities)
to the top set of connectors.
Ensure the terminals are tight.
2) Next, connect the second cable,
from the amplifier (same channel,
secondary connectors) to the
lower set of terminals on the
Veritas
™
speaker. See Figure 4.
NOTE: Notice the upper and
lower terminals accept the wire
from a different angle, this is to
simplify the connection process
by making access easier, and to
improve cosmetics by allowing
easier “dressing” of the cables.
BI-AMPLIFICATION METHOD
This connection system involves the use of two separate
amplifiers to power one set of speakers. The idea is to
have one stereo amplifier connected to one speaker, and
another identical amplifier powering the second speaker.
This is often referred to as “Vertical” Bi-amplification. It is
the only method ENERGY
®
recommends.
