Connecting Your VRS Micro Speakers
Connect the speaker’s terminals to those on the amplifier or receiver designated for “surround” or
“rear channel effects.” Maintain consistency of the
+
(red) and
–
(black) connections by using the
markings on the wire.
We recommend 18-gauge (or heavier) speaker wire for runs up to 25' (8m), and thicker 16-gauge
speaker wire for longer runs. Strip
1
⁄
2
" (12mm) of insulation from the ends of each wire to expose
the conductors. Tightly twist the wire strands together. Maintain the consistency of the
+
(red) and
–
(black) connections.
IMPORTANT:
Typically, one side of the hook-up wire is ribbed and the
other is smooth. Connect the ribbed side to the
+
(red) terminals and
the smooth side to the
–
(black) terminals.
WARNING:
To prevent electrical shock, always switch off the amplifier
or receiver when making connections to the speaker.
Using the five-way binding posts:
The binding posts permit easy con-
nection to banana plugs, pins, spade lugs and bare wire. The metal sur-
faces are plated with 24K gold to resist corrosion.
