Setting Up
Choose the cord
It is important to use the proper gauge (thickness) of speaker cord.
Wire recommendations
Based on a maximum frequency response deviation of ± 0.5 dB
Note:
Before running the speaker cord through a wall or under a floor, check your local build-
ing code requirements and safety regulations. If necessary, contact an electrical installer for
this information.
Prepare the cord
Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is marked
(striped, collared, or ribbed).
At the ends of each cord, strip approximately
1
2
inch (12 mm) of insulation from both wires.
Twist the bare end of each wire so loose strands will not touch across terminals. Be sure to
connect each wire to the proper terminal (positive to positive and negative to negative).
Note:
It is sometimes difficult to distinguish wire markings. Inspect both wires carefully.
