Connecting speakers
Notes about speaker cables
o Use commercially-available speaker cables to connect the
speakers.
o Use the shortest speaker cables possible. The longer the cable, the
greater the resistance value and the more that damping perfor-
mance is reduced. Moreover, length also increases inductance and
capacitance, degrading the sound quality of high frequencies.
o Use left and right speaker cables that have the same length.
How to connect speaker cables
Use commercially-available speaker cables to connect the + terminal
of the unit to the + terminal of the speaker and the − terminal of the
unit to the − terminal of the speaker.
o Use speakers with at least 4Ω impedance.
o If the exposed tip of the core wire of a speaker cable contacts
another cord or terminal, a short will occur.
Never allow speaker cables to cause a short.
o Do not connect more than one amplifier to a speaker.
o Do not bundle speaker cables with power cords. Doing so could
cause noise.

The power plug should always be disconnected
when connecting speaker cables.
Locknut B
When using banana plugs
Loosen locknut A and insert the plug into the opening in the end of
the terminal. Then, tighten locknut A.
o Keep locknut B tightened when using.
o Carefully read the instructions for the banana plugs that you are
using.

Locknut A
When using bare speaker wires
Loosen locknut B and insert the core wire in the hole. Then, tighten
locknut B.
o The hole for the insertion of the core wire is open vertically.
Cross-sections
o The maximum wire diameter that can be inserted is 4 mm (5/32").
When using spade connectors
Loosen locknut B and insert the spade connector. Then, tighten lock-
nut B.
o Use a spade connector with an inside diameter of at least 8 mm
(5/16").
