Connecting Speaker Cables

Bare Wire Connection

Unscrew each binding post, and pass the bare wire through the exposed hole, and re-tighten.

Banana Plugs

Remove the red and black plastic plugs from the terminals, using pliers as necessary, and insert the
banana plugs into the standard 4mm holes exposed.

Spade Connectors

Unscrew each binding post, and place the spade connector around the exposed thread, and re-tighten.

Running-In Your Loudspeakers

Run your speakers in by playing normal music or a running-in CD at low-mid listening levels for
approximately 50-70 hours play time. Sound quality may improve further still after 70 hours. This can be
done naturally over time: like a fine wine the performance will improve with age.
Alternatively if you wish to run the speakers continuously on loop you can decrease the audible volume/
presence by placing the speakers face-to-face so that the drivers/tweeters are directly aligned and as
close as possible. Then connect the amplifier to your speakers so that one is as normal (in phase): positive
to positive and negative to negative (red to red and black to black), and the other speaker out of phase:
positive to negative and negative to positive inputs on the speaker.

Upkeep of Cabinets

The finish of the cabinet can be maintained by regular dusting using a soft micro fibre cloth. The drive units
should only be cleaned with a damp cloth if more than normal dusting is required.
Never use solvents or aggressive cleaning/polishing agents on your Studio Loudspeakers. When in doubt,
test the cleaning product on an inconspicuous area on the cabinet and let it sit for several days before
committing to its use on visible portions of the cabinet.
