This speaker system is capable of standard connections and bi-wired connections. Before making
connections, make sure that the amplifier is switched off.

CONNECTIONS
You need a commercially available speaker cable.
y
The size and/or material of a speaker cable affects on the
sound quality. Therefore, we recommend you purchase a
high-quality speaker cable to exert the performance of this
unit.
• Connect the + terminals on the amplifier and the
speakers using one side of the cable. Connect the –
terminals on both components using the other side
of the cable.
• Connect one speaker to the left (L) terminals of your
amplifier, and another speaker to the right (R)
terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+,
–). If one speaker is connected with reversed
polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
• When using an amplifier with a rated output power
higher than the nominal input power of the speaker,
care should be taken never to exceed the speaker’s
maximum input.
• The speaker may be damaged if certain sounds are
continuously output at high volume level. For
example, if sine waves from a test disc, bass sounds
from electronic instruments, etc., are continuously
output, or when the stylus of a turntable touches the
surface of a disc, reduce the volume level to prevent
the speaker from being damaged.
• Please refer to the owner’s manual that came with
your amplifier or receiver.
How to connect:
1
Loosen the knob.
2
Remove 15 mm (5/8") of insulation from each end
of the cables, and twist the exposed conductors
together neatly and tightly, as shown below.
3
Insert the bare wire into the hole.
4
Tighten the knob and secure the cable.
5
Test the firmness of the connection by pulling the
cable lightly at the terminal.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as
this could damage the speaker and/or the amplifier.
• Do not insert the insulation coating into the hole.
The sound may not be produced.
<Standard connections>
When connecting the speaker cable, leave the
jumper cables in place.
