Your speakers are equipped with binding posts that can be used with banana, pin or spade
connectors, as well as with bare wire. Using high-quality speaker cable (not included, see
your Dealer), connect one speaker at a time to your receiver/amplifier. Connect the red (+)
amplifier terminal to the red (+) speaker terminal and the black (–) to the black (–) (Fig. 3).
Tighten the posts firmly by hand, but don’t over-tighten them.
Turn your amplifier on and listen to your speakers. If you notice a complete lack of mid-bass
and a dislocated image, one or more of your speakers may be connected out-of-phase (their
polarity is reversed). Re-check to ensure that each speaker’s cable is connected with correct
polarity: red (+) to red (+) and black (–) to black (–). Make sure wires are firmly fastened.
