BETA ES250
WIRING THE SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before
making any connections.
For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire with
polarity coding.The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding
is usually considered positive polarity (i.e.,+). Heavier-gauge
wire should be used when more than 50 feet (15m) of speaker
wire is required.The wire channels on the rear of the Beta ES250
will accommodate most types of 14- to 18-gauge wire.
NOTE: If desired,consult your local Infinity dealer about speaker
wire and connection options.
To ensure proper polarity,connect each
+ terminal on the back
of the amplifier or receiver to the respective
+ (red) terminal on
each speaker, as shown in Figure 8.Connect the
–
(black)
terminals in a similar way.See the owner’s guides that were
included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm connection
procedures.
IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i.e.,+ to
–
or
–
to +)
when making connections.Doing so will cause poor imaging and
diminished bass response
.
Figure 7. This example shows how to connect bare wires to the
terminals.
