Hooking Up Speaker Cables
Before connecting make sure that your amplifier is turned off.
Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit it may damage this amplifier and / or speakers.
This may void your warranty.
The Speaker Connectors can accommodate up to 18 AWG speaker cables.
It is recommended to leave about 150 cm (5 feet) of extra cable at the amplifier end to facilitate positioning and installation of the amplifier.
Do not use staples, nails or other metal objects to secure the cables.
You will get the best sound quality and least amount of hum by keeping the cables away from other electrical wires and cables.
Pay attention to connecting the polarity of the amplifier correctly with the speakers in each speaker group (speakers should be connected RED + with RED +
amplifier connector, BLACK – with BLACK – amplifier connector).
Please refer to your speaker instruction manual for more information.
Connecting speaker cables
Speaker cables have 2 conductors. Each conductor should be connected to a separate speaker connector - mind the polarity while connecting.
For each conductor:
1. Remove approximately 1 cm of insulation from the end of the conductor. Twist the bare wires firmly together.
2. The speaker connector block terminal is removable. Remove it by pulling it from the back to the outside of the device.
3. Using a small slot-type screwdriver unscrew the terminal block’s retaining screw which is placed on the top.
4. Insert the bare wires of the conductor into the block terminal's hole.
5. Tighten the screw, making sure that it’s secure (the wire cannot be loose).
