How to 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.

Basic Tower, Center, Bookshelf and Satellite Surround Speaker Hookup
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 
Bi-wiring can provide noticeable 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. See Amplifer/AVR’s user manual for configuration instructions.

Bi-Amping 
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.
