Hookup
Turn the speakers around and look at the back
panel. You’ll see gold-plated 5-way binding posts,
to which you are going to connect the speaker
cables from your receiver or amplier. Each gold
binding post is colour coded. RED is POSITIVE,
BLACK is NEGATIVE. You will also see a
positive (+) sign engraved in the plastic beneath
the RED binding post, and a negative (-) sign
beneath the BLACK post. Your amplier will
likely have these same colours and/or symbols.
Note: for surround and center channels the
positiveislikelyadierentcolouronyourreceiver
or amplier. However, black is universally used
for the negative (-).
Examine your speaker cables. ere will be
something to dierentiate each wire in the pair
of wires; the insulation may have color coding,
or one wire may be copper-colored while the
other is silver-coloured, or there may be printing
on one of the wires, or a ribbed paern on the
plastic insulation of one of the wires. IT IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE
ONE WIRE TYPE TO BE THE NEGATIVE
AND FOLLOW THAT THROUGH YOUR
ENTIRE HOOKUP.
e Axiom binding post is very versatile to suit
the type of wire end you may be desirous to use
(see wiring diagram). If you are using spade
connectors the ¼” type is best as the Axiom
binding post will lock in a ¼” spade to stop it
from spinning when tightened by liing the ring
on the post under the nut. BE SURE TO USE
THE SUPPLIED PLASTIC WRENCH TO
TIGHTEN YOUR BINDING POSTS AND
CHECK THEM EVERY YEAR TO ENSURE
THEY ARE STILL TIGHT.
