High Level Connection

If the electronics in your system does not have Preamp Output/Power Amp Input connections, the ICS Sub 24 mk3 can 
be connected via the speaker wiring using the “High Level” Connections. There are two methods for making high level 
connections the ICS Sub 24 mk3.  

The 5-way binding posts on the ICS Sub 24 mk3 permit easy connec-
tion to banana plugs, spade lugs, and bare wire. If you are connecting 
bare wires be sure to twist the wire strands into a neat bundle. Be sure 
there are no loose strands that could touch another terminal and cause a 
short-circuit.

NOTE:

 When making high level connections be sure to maintain proper polarity - that 

is c to + (positive) to (positive) and - to - (negative) to (negative). All wire has one 
of its conductors marked in some way to make it easy to trace the connections. Typically there 
is a stripe on the insulation or a rib molded into it. Or the insulation will be transparent and the wire strands of one 
conductor will be copper colored and the other will be silver colored.
