The

4344MkII

loudspeakers can be connected by one of several meth-

ods. The binding posts on the rear panel of the

4344MkII

will accept

most types of audio cable and connectors, including banana plugs and

bare wire (Figure 3). Follow the hookup method that best describes your

system.

1. For each channel, connect the red (+) terminal on the

4344MkII

to the red (+) terminal on your amplifier.

2. For each channel, connect the black (–) terminal on the

4344MkII

to the black (–) terminal on the amplifier.

Connecting the systems in this manner ensures that they will operate in

phase; that is, they will work together rather than in opposition.

Connecting the speaker system out of phase will not cause damage but

will adversely affect the speaker’s sound.
