Connecting the TEM 3200
8
Speaker outputs 
The TEM 3200 uses the outstanding loudspeaker terminals of WBT, 
Germany. These have been proven to provide perfect contact over 
many years in millions of sets.
Connect the positive input jack of your loudspeaker (usually marked 
red) with one of the red marked output jacks on the rear panel of the 
TEM 3200. You can choose either of them. Repeat these instructions 
for the negative jack. 
You can insert the bare loudspeaker cable by loosening the knob, 
inserting the wire from the side and then tightening the knob again. 
You can do the same with spades at the ends of your cables or use 
banana plugs (they can simply be plugged in from the rear).
Always assure that the cables are fixed tightly and do not al-
low the wire to protrude and touch other terminals or wires!
Do not use a cord with different configuration!
To unplug the balanced XLR cord from the input jack, push the tab 
above the jack and unplug it.
With the RCA adapter shipped with this unit you can also use unbal-
anced RCA cords. The signal balancing is performed inside the TEM 
3200 by an excellent signal transformer.

outputs  and  do  never  short-circuit  
the  output 
jacks or the loudspeaker wires when connected.
