APPENDIX B: ASSEMBLING LOUDSPEAKER CABLES

3. Secure the conductors by tightening the five screws in the Phoenix cable mount connector. Screws should be torqued to

5–6 Nm(4.4–5.3 In-Lbs).

CAUTION: Screws should not be inserted into the Phoenix connector while the connector rests in a mating

plug. Doing so will damage the contacts. During assembly, the Phoenix connector should only be held in place

externally.

4. Repeat the previous steps and attach the other end of the cable to another Phoenix 5-pin female cable mount connector.

5. Verify the wiring polarity is correct for both cable ends.

ASSEMBLING PHOENIX-TO-EN3 LOUDSPEAKER CABLES

When connecting loudspeakers equipped with EN3 connectors to the MPS-488HPp power supply, you need a Phoenix

5-pin female to EN3 5-pin female cable. The following procedure documents how to assemble this cable. If you are starting

with an EN3-to-pigtail cable, you can skip steps 4–7 in this procedure.

To assemble a Phoenix-to-EN3 cable:

1. If the cable has not yet been stripped, strip one end of the cable. Strip the outer shielding by 1 inch and then strip the

black, red, blue, and white wires by 0.275 inch.
