Connecting Your Loudspeakers
It is critical for proper performance that both speakers (left and right) be connect-
ed in proper phase. Note that one terminal on each speaker (the
+) is colored red and
the other (the
-)
is
colored black. Please make certain that you connect the red (+)
terminal on each speaker to the red (+) terminal
of
its channel on your amplifier or
receiver and the black (-) terminal to the black (-) terminal. It is essential that both
speakers be connected in the same way to the amplifier (in phase).
If
you experience
a great lack
of
bass,
it
is
likely that one speaker is out
of
phase with the other.
Usually if distortion
is
heard
when the speakers
are
being driven
at
loud levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too loud
and
not driving the speakers with more power than they can handle. Remember,
most amplifiers
put
out their full rated power well before the volume control
is
turned
all the way up! (Often, turning the dial half way
up
is actually full
power.)
If
your speakers distort when you play them loud,
turn
down the
amplifier
or
get a bigger one.
Using
the
ProMonitor
in Conjunction
with
a ProSub
When a pair
of
ProMonitors
is
used in conjunction with a ProSub, they may be
connected either directly to the left and right channels
of
your amplifier or
receiver, or
to
the left and right speaker level outputs on a ProSub (when the
ProSub is connected via the high-level speaker wire inputs to the left and right
channel speaker outputs on your receiver). Connecting the ProMonitor to a ProSub
(which includes a built-in high-pass crossover for the ProMonitors) will result
in
greater dynamic range (the system can be played louder without over driving the
satellites) and
is
recommended for most installations especially when the system
is
being used for home theater. Because this
is
the most common set-up, the following
instructions relate to wiring the ProMonitors to a ProSub.
Wiring
2
ProMonitors
and
1 ProSub
for
Stereo
(2-Channel) Use
1.
First, wire the red (+) terminal
of
the left channel speaker wire output
of
your
receiver or amplifier to the red
(+)
terminal
of
the left channel speaker wire (high
level) input
of
your ProSub.
2. Next, wire the black (-) terminal
of
the left channel speaker wire output
of
your
receiver or amplifier to the black (-) terminal
of
the left channel speaker wire
(high level) input
of
the ProSub.
3. Repeat Steps
I and 2 for the right channel.
4. Wire the red (+) terminal
of
the left ProMonitor to the left channel red (+)
speaker wire (high level) out on the back
of
the ProSub.
5. Wire the black (-) terminal
of
the left ProMonitor to the left channel black (-)
speaker wire (high level) out on the back
of
the ProSub.
