Speaker Location
(550T, 440T, 330T, 220B & 110B)
Create an equilateral triangle between the speakers and the listening
position. Toe-in to your listening preference. If you notice video distortion
or discoloration, immediately move the speakers away from the video
source and call Polk Customer Service 800-377-7655 (US and Canada)
or [e-mail].
Using Binding Post Connections
1. Loosen hex nut.
2. Insert speaker wire through hole.
3. Tighten hex nut.
4. Do not insert insulated section
of speaker wire.
Please observe the proper polarity
One of the terminals on the rear of the speaker is marked red (+) and
the other black (–). Make certain that you connect the wire from the
red (+) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the red (+) terminal on
your speaker, and the wire from the black (–) terminal of your receiver
or amplifier to the black (–) terminal on your speaker. Most wire has
some indication (such as color code, ribbing, or writing) on one
of the two conductors to help maintain consistency.
Bi-Wiring
(550T, 440T & 330T)
Bi-wiring, or using separate speaker wire connections for
high and low frequency sections. Remove flat metal jumpers.
Bi-Amping
(550T, 440T & 330T)
Bi-amping, or using separate amplifiers for the low and high
frequency sections of your speakers. Remove flat metal jumpers.
