Crown recommends using pre-built or profes-
sionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor,
heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors. You
may use banana connectors, terminal forks or
bare wire for your output connectors (see Figure
2.5). To prevent the possibility of short-circuits,
wrap or otherwise insulate exposed loudspeaker
cable connectors.

Note: Binding post outputs on European
models come with safety plugs installed
to prevent European power-cord plugs
from being inserted. The side entry posi-
tions for these connectors should there-
fore be used on European models.
