Connecting
Note
Please make sure that the red marked
post of the speaker is connected to the
red marked output of the amp, and the
white or black marked post to the white
or black marked output accordingly.
2. Connect the other cable ends to the
loudspeaker outputs of your switched-off
power amp (see Fig. 2).
Bi-wiring/bi-amping
Dynaudio loudspeakers feature a
carefully ne-tuned cross-over, optimised
using selected parts and an advanced
circuitry to achieve a truly balanced and
smooth frequency response. Therefore,
dividing the frequency sections through
bi-wiring or bi-amping is neither
benecial nor optional.
Choice of loudspeaker cable
The loudspeaker cable can have an
impact on sound quality. In general,
quality cable products will yield a quality
result.
Dynaudio loudspeakers are designed
to be very neutral and thus are not
extremely suited to any particular type
of cable. The choice of cable is as much
a factor of matching the cable to the
entire audio system. Please consult your
Dynaudio dealer for information about
compatible loudspeaker cables that
will suit both your electronics and your
Dynaudio loudspeakers.
Connecting surround speakers
When connecting a two-channel stereo
system, only the right and left channels
are connected to the amplier.
In a surround set-up, centre, side or rear
loudspeakers as well as a subwoofer are
typically connected to provide for a
multi-channel listening experience.
Please refer to the amplier’s owner’s
manual for particular connection
scenarios and see section “Multi-
channel set-up” on page 23 for further
instructions.

Connecting
4.0 mm banana plugs:
The pins can be put
directly into the binding
post without any tightening
necessary.
Cable spades:
Loosen the binding posts,
insert the spade into the
opening, and secure the
spade by tightening the
posts.
Bare wires:
Loosen the binding posts
and place the cable into
the binding posts. Tighten
the posts.
1. Connect a two-pole (+/-) loudspeaker cable to the binding posts, located at rear of
the cabinet (see Fig. 1). The high quality, gold-plated binding posts can accommodate
different connection systems:
Note
• With every connection system, ensure that the contact is tight and has a proper
contact area.
• Connectors with similar gold plating as binding posts will typically offer the best
results and remain corrosion-free.
• Please ensure that the positive and negative cables do not make contact with each
other. Tighten the posts, and check the contact after a few days to make sure that it
hasn’t loosened.
