Connecting the Loudspeakers
Choice of cable
Bi-wiring/bi-amping
Connections
To make the most of your Coltrane Momento 2 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.
The Coltrane Momento 2 are designed with bi-wiring in mind. If you prefer bi-amping,
we recommend that you use the same type of cable for best sound reproduction.
For single-wire applications, please use the enclosed jumpers.
At the back of your Coltrane Momento 2, you will find two pairs of WBT Nextgen 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 40 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.
