Bare Wire Connections:

When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using bare wire; Unscrew the red and black 
caps  on  the  binding  post,  be  sure  not  to  completely  remove  or  unscrew  the  red  and  black 
caps.  Strip  back  the  wire  insulation  1/2”  (13mm).  Insert  the  bare  wire  into  the  hole  that  was 
reveled by unscrewing the binding post cap. After inserting the wire into the binding post hole, 
screw the binding post cap down on the wire. To reduce the risk of shock or damage to your 
amplifier, be sure that the wire connected to one binding post does not come in contact with 
that of another.  

Spade Connector: (Diagram 6)

When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using spade connector; Unscrew the red and black caps on 
the binding post, be sure not to completely remove or unscrew the red and black caps. Insert the spade con-
nector in to the binding post and tighten the caps down on the spade connector. To reduce the risk of shock 
or damage to your amplifier, be sure that the wire connected to one binding post does not come in contact 
with that of another. 

When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using banana jacks; Be sure that the red and black caps on 
the binding post are tighten down completely. Insert the banana jacks into the caps of the binding post, be 
sure that the banana jack is inserted securely to avoid the risk of it popping out.

Mono Bridge Connections:

Mono  bridge  operation  connections  will  follow  the  above  descriptions  however,  when  operating  in  mono 
bridge operation the speaker connections will run between the two positive (red) leads. Use channel two pos-
itive output terminal for the negative connection and the channel one positive output terminal for the positive 
connection.

Typical speaker output using bare wire. Insert 
bare wire into the binding post and tighten.

Typical speaker output using 
spade connectors. Insert 
bare wire into the binding 
post and tighten.
