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.
