Connecting speakers to TToby 4.0
The binding posts on TToby are designed to accommodate bare wire,
spade connectors and banana plugs.
Banana plugs: can be inserted into the middle of the binding posts,
as shown below, to achieve a reliable connection. Align a banana
plug with the binding post and push the connector confidently until
it stops. You must pay attention to the polarity, making sure that a
positive connection on TToby matches the positive connection on the
wire and speaker. You must also pay careful attention to the left and
right channels.

Spade connectors/bare wire: unscrew TToby’s binding posts, rotating
counter-clockwise until there is sucient room to attach the spade
connector and then re-tighten. For bare wire, continue to unscrew until
the post is exposed. Insert the wire adjacent to the post and beneath
the connector and re-tighten (finger-tight) ensuring there are no stray
wires.

CONNECTING SPEAKER WIRE. NEVER MIX LEFT AND RIGHT
