Speaker Wire
Use high-quality, 2 or 4-conductor, 14-18 gauge (AWG) speaker wire. The higher the strand count, the
better the sound quality will be.
•
RCA Input and Subwoofer Output Cables
Use high-quality pre- or field-terminated RCA cables and connectors rated at 75 Ohms impedance.
Binary™ cables and connectors are recommended.
•
Toslink Input Cables
Use high-quality Toslink cables with standard connectors. Binary™ cables are recommended. (Set
sources to output only 2-channel PCM stereo audio)
•
The optional subwoofer SUB OUT port can be connected to a powered subwoofer or subwoofer amplifier.
•
The 5 volt output on the amplifier can provide power for the wireless subwoofer kit without using up
valuable space where the amplifier gets installed.
•
If a subwoofer system will be installed, be sure to provide an RCA cable or purchase an Episode
ES-SUB-WIRELESS kit to provide signal for the sub.
•
Be sure that a control system with IR output can be set up to control the amplifier if local IR remotes
will not be used.
•
No IR receiver is included. Even if it won’t be used after installation, it is suggested to have an IR
receiver on hand for use during setup.
•
Be sure to supply an IR receiver for installation if an in-room IR remote is used for control.
•
