Speaker Connection
Your Triton speakers are equipped with a set of 5-way binding posts that can be used with bare wire, pin or spade
connectors or banana plugs. Tighten the posts fi rmly by hand, but do not over tighten them. Make sure all wires
are fi rmly fastened. Always use high quality speaker wire of suffi cient gauge for the distances you are running
(see your dealer for assistance).
If the Triton speakers are your main set of speakers, you will hook up the left main/front channel red(+) terminal of
your receiver or amplifi er to the red(+) terminal of your left loudspeaker and the left main/front channel black(-)
terminal of your receiver or amplifi er to the black(-) terminal of your left loudspeaker (see fi gure below). Connect
the right channel main/front channel red(+) terminal of your amplifi er or receiver to the red(+) terminal of your
right loudspeaker and the black(-) terminal of the right main/front channel of your receiver or amplifi er to the
black(-) terminal of your right loudspeaker. It is essential that both speakers be connected in the same way (in
phase) to its own channel of the amplifi er. If you experience a great lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out
of phase (+ and – reversed) with the other.
If you are using the Triton speaker as surround speakers, hook up the left surround red(+) terminal of your re-
ceiver or amplifi er to the red(+) terminal of your left surround speaker and the left surround black(-) terminal of
your receiver or amplifi er to the black(-) terminal of your left surround speaker. Connect the right surround red(+)
terminal of your amplifi er or receiver to the red(+) terminal of your right surround loudspeaker and the black(-)
terminal of the right surround channel of your receiver or amplifi er to the black(-) terminal of your right surround
loudspeaker. Again, it is essential that both speakers be connected in the same way (in phase) to its own
channel of the amplifi er.
Turn your amplifi er/receiver OFF before performing any connection steps,
in order to prevent accidental damage to your amplifi er.
