HOW
TD
CONNECT
YOUR
SYSTEM
To
get
the
best sound quality, it's
important
to
wire
your speakers correctly.
Wire Preparation
Follow
the
hookup directions included
with
your
receiver/ amplifier. Strip 1/2" (12.7mm)
of
insulation
from
each
of
the
two
conductors
of
the
wire
to
expose
the
bare
metal
and
twist
each
of
the
individual
conductors
into
single unfrayed strands. Note
that
one
of
the
terminals on
the
rear
of
each
speaker
is
red
( +) and
the
other
is
black ( -
).
Make
certain
that
you
connect
the
wire
from
the
positive ( +)
terminal
of
your
amplifier or receiver
to
the
red ( +)
terminal
on your
speaker and
the
wire
from
the
negative ( - )
terminal
of
your amplifier or receiver
to
the
black ( - )
terminal
on your speaker.
Most
wire has some
indicator
(such
as color-coding, ribbing or
writing)
on one
of
the
two
conductors
to
help you maintain consistency.
These
recommendations
are
for
all
connections
from
the
amplifier/receiver
to
each speaker:

Binding Posts
To
connect
wire
to
the
binding post, unscrew
the
binding
post
cap
and insert
the
bare wire
into
the
hole
near
the
base
of
the
binding post.
Do
not
insert
the
insulated
part
of
the
wire
into
the
hole as this will
not
give you a
good
connection. Tighten
the
binding
post
cap
until it seats
firmly
with
the
wire,
but
do
not
over
tighten.
~
Connectors
You
have several options when choosing connectors for
your speaker wires, and it's really a
matter
of
personal
preference. Three
of
the more commonly used are
banana plugs, spade lugs and bare wire. If you know
where you
want
to
locate
your speakers and plan
to
set
up your system and leave them there, then bare wire will
work fine.
Just
make sure there are not stray strands
of
wire
that
could come into
contact.
If you like
to
experiment
with
different speaker locations, spade lugs
or banana plugs
offer
more convenient options when it
comes
to
disconnecting and reconnecting wires.
Banana Plugs
Signature Elite binding posts have openings
in
the
ends
of
their
caps
to
accept
individual and dual
banana
plugs.
To
use
banana
plugs, carefully pry
out
the
binding
post
plugs
to
expose
banana
plug holes.
The
binding posts
can
accept
dual
banana
plugs.
Basic Tower, Center, Bookshelf and
Satellite Surround Speaker Hookup
(ES60,
ES55, ES50, ES35,
ES30,
ES20,
ES15,
ES10)
Make sure
that
the
red ( +) and
black
( - )
connectors
on your
amplifier
or
receiver
connect
to
the
red ( +)
and black ( - )
connectors
on your speakers. If your
speakers sound "thin,"
with
little
bass and
little
or no
center
image,
odds
are
that
one
of
the
speaker wires
is
connected
backwards. Double
check
all connections.

Bi-Wiring
(ES60,
ES55
and
ES50
Towers)
Bi-wiring
can
provide
not
i
ceable
improvements
in
the
overall
transparency
of
your loudspeakers.
After
removing
the
jumpers, run
separate
speaker wires
to
the
low
and high frequency drivers
from
a single
amplifier
(the
upper
set
of
binding
posts
are
for
the
high
frequency
drivers,
the
lower set
of
binding
posts
are
for
the
low
frequency
drivers).
Connect
one set
of
speaker wires
to
the
upper
terminals
on
each
speaker
and one set
of
wires
to
the
lower
terminals.
Connect
the
other
ends
of
both
wire sets
to
the
same
amplifier
outputs.

Bi-amping allows you
to
use
separate
amplifiers
for
the
high and
low
frequency
sections
of
your loudspeaker
for
greater
dynamic
range and lower
distortion.
We
recommend
that
your
separate
amplifiers have
identical
gain
to
preserve
the
speaker's voicing
balance.
After
removing
the
jumpers,
connect
the
speaker wires
from
the
high

amplifier
outputs
to
the
upper
set
of
terminal
posts
on

the
same
procedure
for

Placement Recommendations for the
ES35
and
ES30
Cente
r Channel Speaker
The
most
popular
placement
for
your
ES35
or
ES30
center
channel speaker
is
on a shelf below your
flat
screen
TV
(if
you have an older box
TV,
a popular option
is
to
place your
center
channel speaker on
top
of
it,
anchoring
the
dialogue and
effects
to
the
screen).
Note: For older
TV's,
the
ES35
and
ES30
are
NOT
magnetically
shielded.
Also
compatible
as a left,
center
or right speaker
(L/C/R),
the
ES35
center
channel speaker includes built
in
keyhole slots
for
easy
wall-mounting
(see instructions
on wall
mount
template
for
more
information)
.
Processor Mode
Note: Set these speakers
(ES35,
ES30,
ES20,
ES15,
ES10)
to
"small"
in
your receiver's Bass
Management
Settings.
Set
to
"large"
for
tower
speakers
(ES60,
ES55,
ES50)
.
The
"bass
management"
or "speaker configuration"
menus
of
most
surround receivers
offer
the
choice
of
"normal" or "wide" modes
for
smaller speaker
operation
.
In
discrete
channel
digital
processors, these
modes are referred
to
as "small" and "large." Normal
(small)
mode
filters bass frequencies
from
center
channel, bookshelf and
satellite
surround speakers,
and sends
them
instead
to
the
front
left
and right main
speakers or
to
the
subwoofer
output
(LFE) jack. Wide
(large)
mode
sends an unfiltered, full-range signal
to
these speakers. Use
the
Small
(normal)
mode
for
optimum
center
and surround channel
performance
and reliability.

Hear More Detail in Music and Movies You Love
ES10’s Hi-Res Audio Certified, Terylene dome tweeter provides
crystalline highs (40kHz+) ideal for high-resolution sound found in
ultra-HD movies, multi-channel concert videos, and spatial audio
mixed for Apple Music, Dolby Atmos or DTS:X.
Experience Full-Range Surround Sound with Polk Power Port

speakers is thin sound. We take your home theater experience
seriously and have put the same Polk-patented Power Port bass-
enhancing technology in the ES10 that you will find in Signature

Now in movies, when rockets fly overhead or special effects swirl
around the room, you’ll not only hear it, but feel it too.
High Sensitivity for Maximum Compatibility
With high sensitivity and 4- and 8-ohm compatibility, the
ES10 delivers spacious, clear, enveloping and realistic sound
reproduction from nearly any amplifier or receiver—including the
latest Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound AVRs.
