The Outlaw Bookshelf Loudspeakers

The carton and packing materials used in shipping your new speakers were 
specially designed to cushion them from the shocks and vibrations of shipping. 
We strongly suggest that you save the carton and packing materials to use if you 
move, or if the speakers ever need to be shipped back to us for any reason.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it by 
carefully opening the top and bottom flaps and folding the carton flat. Pack-
ing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton 
in a plastic bag.

After unpacking your new speakers, please confirm that the following items 
have been included.

If any of the above is missing from your shipment, please contact Outlaw Audio 
immediately at 866-OUTLAWS.

This three-position switch provides a (0dB, 2dB and 4dB) reduction in 
upper bass frequencies to maintain a linear response for wall or corner 
loaded speaker placements.

Use these or the low frequency terminals to connect the speaker to the 
amplifier.

Use these or the high frequency terminals to connect the speaker to the 
amplifier.

This three-position switch provides a (-2dB, 0dB, +2dB) treble compensa-
tion for bright or heavily dampened listening environments.

These connect the two pairs of binding posts and should remain installed 
unless using a bi-wire or bi-amplify connection scheme.

To get the maximum performance from your new Outlaw Loudspeaker system it 
must be properly connected, positioned properly within the room and configured 
to match your listening environment. There are three primary connection styles 
compatible with your Outlaw Loudspeakers. These include the standard one wire 
(per) speaker connection, bi-wiring which uses either a pair of speaker wires or a 
custom bi-wire cable and a single amplifier channel per speaker, or bi-amplifying 
which uses two speaker wires and two power amplifiers per speaker.

High quality speaker wires are essential for optimal performance. We recom-
mend the use of a heavy gauge (16 or heavier) oxygen-free multi-strand copper 
wire. For lengths over 25 feet, a heavier gauge of wire should be used. As with 
other gauge based conductors, the lower the number the heavier the gauge.
When purchasing wire, look for cabling that clearly marks polarity on one 
conductor. Often speaker wire manufacturers will use a single solid line or their 
logo on one side for this purpose. This will make connections easier later on. 
Most installers consider the marked conductor their “positive” lead.
Since your Outlaw Bookshelf Loudspeakers offer true five-way binding posts you 
can use speaker wires that have terminated ends such as banana plugs, spades, 
or pins. When using spades, they must be compatible with 5/16 inch posts.

To prepare your non-terminated wire for installation, you will need 
to perform the following tasks:
1.  Split each end of the speaker wire in half leaving approximately two

inches of “separate conductors” as shown below.

.  Remove a half inch of insulation from each conductor, also shown

below.

3.  Separately twist each stranded wire together ensuring that all four

leads are kept apart.
