Connecting your Speaker System 
 
 
Always switch off the power to the amplifier before connecting speakers. 
 
Choosing the Correct Speaker Cable 
 
It is important to choose cabling designated for audio use and good quality connectors. 
Using guitar cable or zip cord (designed for lamps and other electrical use) or poor 
quality connectors will degrade your loudspeakers’ audio performance. For distributed 
loudspeaker systems, we recommend stranded twisted pair speaker cable with an 
overall vinyl jacket (plenum rated when installed in required installations). 
 
Always use the appropriate gauge of speaker cable. For cable runs of less than 25 feet 
(7.5 meters), 18- gauge cable is adequate. For longer cables, we suggest 16-gauge 
stranded cable.  
 
 
Speaker Connection Procedures 
 
After removing approximately 10mm (1/4-inch) of insulation from the ends of the speaker 
cables, twist the strands tightly and then twist together with the distribution cable(s), using 
an appropriate cable connector. 
 
Make certain the wires do not protrude from the cable connector and touch any metal 
on the speaker chassis, or any other adjacent metal. 
 
 
Maintaining Proper Polarity 
 
It is very important to wire your speakers consistently in order to maintain proper 
polarity. All quality cables are manufactured with clear markings to identify the 
different conductors – normally by color-coding, printed markings, or textured ribbing 
on the cable’s jacket material. Failing to do so will cause your speakers to operate 
out of phase, resulting in significantly reduced low-frequency output from your 
system. 
 
 
Choosing the Correct Amplification 
 
When selecting an amplifier for use with your distributed speaker system, it is important to 
choose an amplifier which has sufficient power output. 
 
Choosing an amplifier that does not have adequate rated power may result in pushing 
the amp beyond its limits, producing distortion or “clipping” of the signal. This can irritate 
the listener and may cause damage to the speaker. 
 
Choosing an amplifier that is over-powered can result in over-driving the speaker system.
