Speakers and electronicshave corresponding (+) and(–) terminals. It is important toconnect both speakersidentically: (+) on the speakerto (+) on the amplifier and (–)on the speaker to (–) on theamplifier. Wiring “out ofphase” results in thin sound,weak bass and poor imaging.To use the binding-postspeaker terminals, unscrewthe colored collar until thepass-through hole in thecenter post is visible. Insertthe bare end of the wirethrough this hole; then screwthe collar down until theconnection is tight.The hole in the center of eachcollar is intended for use withbanana-type connectors. Tocomply with European CEcertification, these holes areblocked with plastic inserts atthe point of manufacture. Touse banana-type connectorsrequires the removal of theinserts. Do not remove theseinserts if you are using theproduct in an area covered bythe European CE certification.BI-WIRINGThe bi-wire connectionmethod requires one amplifierand two sets of speaker wires.By removing the shortingbars, connections may bemade to the individual networksections using four conductors,one for each of the fourterminals.For single-wire connection,leave the shorting bars inplace and connect only asingle set of speaker wires(two conductors) to the twoupper terminals.SPEAKER CONNECTIONS4MODELS: L810,L820, L830, LC1,LC2The supplied self-adhesiverubber feet may be attached tothe bottom corners of yourspeakers to protect yourfurniture.MODELS: L880,L890These models feature fourrubber feet that enable themto be placed on a smooth-surfaced floor, such as tile orhardwood. Four metal spikesare supplied for use when thespeaker is to be placed on acarpeted surface, to decouplethe speaker from the floor andprevent unwanted damping.To insert the spikes, gently laythe speaker on its side (not itsfront or back) on a soft,nonabrasive surface. Eachspike screws into the threadedinsert in the center of eachrubber foot. Make sure allfour spikes are screwed incompletely for stability.NEVER drag the speaker tomove it, as this will damagethe spikes, the feet and/or thewood cabinet itself. Alwayslift the speaker and carry it toits new location.SPEAKER SETUP– +– +– +AmplifierHigh FrequencyLow FrequencyBi-Wire Connections– +– +Receiver’s Speaker Outputs– +– +– +LEFTLEFTRIGHTRIGHT– +MODELS: L810,L820, L830, L880,L890MODELS: LC1,LC2Receiver’s Speaker OutputsPlace pads hereRight LeftRight LeftCenterCenterAmplifierHigh FrequencyPlace pads here
