Speaker Level Connection
If your receiver does not have a line-level audio signal
output or if you wish to bypass this output, you need to
connect the speaker level inputs of the Control Module
to your receiver’s speaker outputs.
We provide a Speaker Wire Connector with two short
lengths of speaker wire already connected to it. (If
wires are not long enough to reach from the Control
Module to your power amplifier, you need to attach
longer speaker wires. How to do this is described in
“Attaching longer speaker wires” at the bottom of
this page.)
The speaker wire marked with a red band is Right
postive. The unmarked wire next to it is Right negative.
The Left Positive speaker wire is marked with a white
band. The unmarked speaker wire next to it is
Left negative.
Connect the speaker wires to your receiver’s Left and
Right speaker outputs (Front Left and Front Right
speaker outputs of a multi-channel receiver). You will
have to “parallel connect” theses wires with the main
speaker wires (see diagram). Positive speaker output
terminals will usually be colored red and have a “+”
symbol. Negative speaker output terminals will usually
be colored black and have a “–” symbol.
Finally, insert the Speaker Wire Connector plug into the

Attaching longer speaker wires: First, prepare two
suitable lengths of speaker wire. You can use light-
weight (18-22 gauge) speaker wire because this wire
will not carry any significant electric current. Also, wire
larger than 18 gauge will be somewhat harder to
connect in tandem with another speaker wire.
Strip off 5/8” of insulation from one end of each
speaker wire. Strip of 3/8” of insulation from the other
end. This end connects to the Speaker Wire
Connector Plug.
