CONNECTING YOUR
FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKERS
All three floorstanding loudspeakers have the same quality nick-
el-plated 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 remain 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.

AMPLIFICATION
Conventional amplification involves a single stereo amplifier
wired to a single set of binding posts with straps connecting the
second set of posts as seen in diagram above.
Simply attach the positive wire + to the red post, and the nega-
tive wire – to the black post.
BI-AMPLIFICATION
This connection method (see diagram above) uses two separate
two channel amplifiers to power one set of speakers. One stereo
amplifier connects to one speaker, and the other identical amplifier
powers the second speaker. This is referred to as bi-amplification.
Be sure to remove the terminal straps before using the bi-ampli-
fication method. Connect positive + and negative – cables from
the amplifier to the top terminals, and make sure the connection
is tight. Connect the second set of cables (positive and negative)
to the bottom terminals and tighten. Repeat these same steps
using the second amplifier to connect to the second terminals.
ROOM POSITION
Placement of your floorstanding loudspeakers is a personal pref-
erence, 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.
Also be sure that loudspeakers are placed at least 12 inches away
from any wall. Further adjustments can be made to optimize your
listening experience.
NOTE: When moving floorstanding loudspeakers take extra cau-
tion to place hands in a position that will not damage the drivers.
This can best be done by placing one hand in the port at the back
of the loudspeaker, and the other hand at the either top corner.

PORT TUNING
If you are placing your floorstanding loudspeakers 6 inches or
closer to a wall, bass output can be controlled by reducing the
amount of air flow from the rear ports. You can “tune” the bass
output by using the room tuning stops provided with your loud-
speaker by inserting as shown.
