Brancher l’enceinte droite (RIGHT) aux bornes repérées + et - (RIGHT) en s’assurant que le + est reliée à la borne + de l’enceinte et le - est reliée à la borne - de cette même enceinte. Brancher le haut-parleur gauche (LEFT)aux bornes repérées + et - en procédant de la même manière. On peut utiliser les bornes serre-fils pour courants élevés comme bornes à vis pour les câbles comportant des cosses plates, des broches, des prises “banane“, ou pour des câbles comportant des fils nus. Les fils nus et les broches s’insèrent dans le trou diamétral percé dans la tige de la borne. Desserrer la bague en plastique jusqu’à ce que le trou dans la tige soit visible. Insérer la broche ou le fil nu dans le trou, puis fixer le câble en vissant la bague de la borne. Eviter tout risque que le métal nu des câbles de haut-parleurs ne touche la face arrière un autre connecteur. S’assurer que la longueur dénudée ou la longueur de la broche ne dépasse pas 1/2” (1 cm) et qu’il n’y a aucun brin libre. SPEAKER TERMINALS Connect speakers with impedance of 4 Ohms or greater. Connect the right speaker to the right terminals + and - ensuring that the + (RIGHT) is connected to the ‘+’ terminal of your loudspeaker and the - (RIGHT) is connected to the loudspeaker’s terminal. Connect the terminals marked + and - (LEFT) to the left speaker in the same way. The high current binding post terminals can be used as a screw terminal for cables terminating in spade or pin connectors or for cables with bare wire ends. SPADE CONNECTORS These should be slotted under the terminal’s screw bushing, which is then fully tightened. Ensure the connector is tightly secured and there is no danger of bare metal from spade connectors touching the back panel or another connector as this may cause damage.

BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS

Bare wires and pin connectors should be inserted into the hole in the shaft of the terminal. Unscrew the speaker terminal’s plastic bushing until the hole in the screw shaft is revealed. Insert the pin or bare cable end into the hole and secure the cable by tightening down the terminal’s bushing. BANANA CONNECTORS You also can use banana connectors on the speakers terminal. Avoid any danger of bare metal from the speaker cables touching the back panel or another connector. Ensure that the total striped lenght of the cable will not exceed 1/2» (1cm).
