CENTER AND SATELLITE SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Turn Off All Power
After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system.
First, turn off all audio-system power.Use high-quality speaker wire
to make your connections. Speaker wire with polarity coding is
included. For longer distances, heavier gauge wire is recommended.
The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually
considered positive polarity (i.e., +). Also,consult the owner’s
manuals that were included with your amplifier or receiver to
confirm connection procedures.
Satellites
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in
Figure 4. Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or
receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker.
Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.
Important!
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making
connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished
bass response. Be certain that positive and negative wire strands
are completely isolated to avoid short circuits that may damage
your equipment.
Center Channel
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in
Figure 5. Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or
receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on the speaker. Connect
the – (black) terminals in the same way.
Important!
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making
connections. Be certain that positive and negative wire strands are
completely isolated to avoid short circuits that may damage your
equipment.
Figure 5.The satellites and center channel speaker feature
terminals that can be connected in several different ways; e.g.,
spade terminals and direct wiring (as shown here).
