AMPLIFICATION
Conventional amplification involves a single stereo ampli-
fier wired to a single set of binding posts with straps con-
necting the second set of posts as seen in diagram above.
Simply attach the positive wire + to the red post, and the
negative wire – to the black post.
BI-AMPLIFICATION
This connection method (see diagram below) uses two sepa-
rate two channel amplifiers to power one set of speakers. One
amplifier is attached to one set of binding posts, and another
identical amplifier is attached to the other set of binding posts.
This is referred to as bi-amplification.
CONNECTING YOUR
BOOKSHELF LOUDSPEAKERS
This bookshelf loudspeaker has the same quality nickel-plat-
ed binding posts that will accommodate stripped wire,
spade connectors or banana plugs. Be sure to use quality
speaker cables, up to 12 gauge (AWG). The lowest gauge
possible is recommended. Before using banana plugs, be
sure to remove the black and red inserts on the binding
posts. The straps connecting the binding posts should re-
main in place for conventional wiring, but may be removed
where bi-wiring is preferred. See the following diagrams in
the AMPLIFICATION section for further instruction.
ROOM POSITION
Placement of your bookshelf loudspeakers is a personal
preference, but it is recommended that speakers be placed
at least 6 feet apart whether they are being used for a
stereo application, or as the main left and right channels for
a home theater. For best imaging and separation, listening
distance from the speakers should be about 1.5 times the
distance the speakers are apart from each other.
Example: If the distance between each speaker and the
listening position is 9 feet, then the speakers should be 6 feet
apart from one another. Be sure that loudspeakers are placed
at least 12 inches away from any wall. Further adjustments
can be made to optimize your listening experience.
