Your speakers’ binding posts can be used with banana, pin or spade
connectors, as well as with bare wire. Tighten the posts firmly by hand
but do not over tighten!
Correct polarity (or phase) is critical for proper soundstage imaging and
bass performance. Connect one speaker at a time to ensure proper
connection of every channel. The red (+) amplifier terminal must be
connected to the red (+) speaker terminal. The same applies to the black (–)
terminals. Make sure all wires are firmly fastened. Repeat this connection
procedure for each speaker in your system.
NOTE: If you hear a distinct lack of bass and a dislocated stereo image then
one or more of your speakers may be connected out of phase (polarity is
reversed). Re-check to ensure that each speakers’ cable is connected with
correct polarity: red (+) to red (+) and black (–) to black (–).
