Connecting the oudspeakers
Choice of cable
Connections
To make the most of your Duke loudspeakers, please consider the
following suggestions:
The impact loudspeaker cables can have on the sound is dramatic. Be sure to use the
same brand, type, and length of cable on each channel.
Mixing different types and/or lengths of cable can upset the precise timing and
balance of your loudspeaker.
At the back of your loudspeaker, you will find one pair of terminals that will accept any
standard connection. Whatever type of connection you use, make sure that the
contact is tight, and have a proper contact area. Tighten the posts, and then retighten
after a few days to make sure that the connections haven’t loosened.
Always turn off the power of your entire system before making connections to your
speakers. We recommend using an amplifier with sufficient power (typically a
minimum of 50 watts).
In order to obtain the best localization of instruments and voices, as well as the
deepest, most natural bass, it is important to connect your loudspeakers in phase
(which means that the drivers are moving in and out in the same direction and at the
same time). The connectors on the speakers are clearly marked, and those on your
amplifier and speakers cables should be also be marked. Keep all markings consistent
in order to ensure in-phase connections.
