6COnneCTiOnsCAuTION: make sure that all of the system’s electrical components are turned OFF (and preferablyunplugged from their AC outlets) before making any connections.Speakers and amplifiers have corresponding positive and negative (“+” and “–”) connectors. All LOFT series speakershave connectors that are marked “+” and “–” on the terminal-cup assembly. Additionally, the “+” connectors have redmarkings, while the “–” connectors have black markings.To ensure proper polarity, connect each “+” connector on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective “+”(red) connector on each speaker. Connect the “–” connectors in a similar way. Do not reverse polarities (i.e., “+” to “–”or “–” to “+”) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor stereo imaging and diminished bass performance.ImPORTANT: make sure the “+” and “–” wires or connectors do not touch each other or the other terminal.Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your receiver or amplifier.The LOFT series speakers’ connectors can accept a variety of wire connector types: bare wire, pin connectors, spadeconnectors and banana connectors.uSING BARE WIRE OR PIN CONNECTORS:1. 2. 3.uSING SPADE CONNECTORS:1. 2. 3.uSING BANANA CONNECTORS:1. 2.Connect the amplifier to each speaker as shown in the illustration below.+ –Receiver or Amplifier(One Channel Shown)SpeakerConnector PanelJBLP3787_LoftSeries_OM_EMEA_032812.indd 6 3/28/12 11:44 AM
