For optimum sound, the use of high quality speaker cable is essential.
The chart below identifies the minimum gauge requirements for various
lengths. See your Authorized Paradigm Dealer for recommendations.
Turn your amplifier(s) OFF before connecting your
speakers. This will avoid damage which could result
from accidental shorting of speaker cables.
