WIRING
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.
MINIMUM GAUGE REQUIREMENTS
LENGTH DIAMETER GAUGE
Under 4.5 m (15 ft) 1.3 mm (0.05 in) 16 awg
Under 9 m (30 ft) 1.6 mm (0.06 in) 14 awg

Turn your amplifier(s) OFF before connecting your
speakers. This will avoid damage which could
result from accidental shorting of speaker cables.
