How to Connect Your System
To get the best sound quality, it’s important to wire your
speakers correctly.
How to Use Binding Post Connectors
Loosen hex nut and insert bare speaker wire through hole.
Tighten hex nut down to make connection.
Note: Do not insert insulated section of wire into hole
(you will not get a connection).
Basic Speaker Hookup
Make sure that the red (+) and black (-) connectors on your
amplifier or receiver connect to the red (+) and black (-)
connectors on your speakers. If your speakers sound “thin,”
with little bass and little or no center image, odds are that one
of the speaker wires is connected backwards. Double check
all connections.
Placement Recommendations for the T30 Center
Channel Speaker
The most popular placement for your T30 center channel speaker
is on a shelf below your flat screen TV (if you have an older box
TV, a popular option is to place your center channel speaker on
top of it, anchoring the dialogue and effects to the screen).
Processor Mode for the T30 Center Channel Speaker
Note: Set Center Channel Speaker to “small” in your receiver’s
Bass Management Settings.
The “bass management” or “speaker configuration” menus of
most surround receivers offer the choice of “normal” or “wide”
modes for center channel operation. In discrete channel digital
processors, these modes are referred to as “small” and “large.”
Normal (small) mode filters bass frequencies from the center
channel speaker and sends them instead to the front left and right
main speakers or to the subwoofer output (LFE) jack. Wide (large)
mode sends an unfiltered, full-range signal to the center channel
speaker. Use the Small (normal) mode for optimum center (and
surround) channel performance and reliability.
