Crown recommends using pre-built or profes-
sionally wired, balanced line (two-conductor
plus shield), 22-24 gauge cables with 6 AWG
terminal forks, less than 0.31 inch (7.8 mm)
wide. Unbalanced line may also be used but
may result in noise over long cable runs.

Crown recommends using pre-built or pro-
fessionally wired, high-quality, two- or four-
conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire and
connectors. You may use banana plugs, spade
lugs or bare wire for your output connectors
(see Figure 3.4). To prevent the possibility
of short-circuits, wrap or otherwise insulate
exposed loudspeaker cable connectors.
