Unscrew the red or black plastic
knobs and insert the bare wire
through the hole in the post.
Tighten the knob until the wire is
securely clamped.
Banana Plugs
There are many types of
banana plugs available.
Some are crimped onto
the speaker wire and
some are soldered.Niles
offers banana plugs that
have a quick-connect
binding system for the
speaker wire included
within the banana plug
itself. After the wire is
attached, the banana plug
is simply inserted into the
hole at the end of the
amplifier’s speaker bind-
ing post. Dual banana
plugs will fit the SI-1260
binding posts.
STEP

2. Connect one stripped wire end or
banana plug to the black terminal
and one to the red terminal.
CAUTION! NOT EVEN A SINGLE
STRAND OF WIRE CAN BE
ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE
AMPLIFIER CHASSIS OR
ANOTHER CONNECTOR.
If all wires connecting to the SI-1260 are
labeled with their destination rather than
their specific connection to the SI-1260, it
will be easier to reconfigure the system in
the future.

2 inches.

speaker wire conductor.
