GoldenEar SuperCinema 3D Array X and XL - Manual (Page 8)

Speaker Connection
Your SuperCinema 3D Array speaker is equipped with a set of 5-way binding posts that can be used with bare wire,
pin or spade connectors or banana plugs. Tighten the posts firmly by hand, but do not over tighten them. Make
sure all wires are firmly fastened. Always use high quality speaker wire of sufficient gauge for the distances you are
running (see your dealer for assistance)
As shown above, hook up the left main/front channel red(+) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the red(+)
terminal of the left channel connector on the SuperCinema 3D Array loudspeaker and the left main/front channel
black(-) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the black(-) terminal of the left channel connector on the loud-
speaker. Connect the right channel main/front channel red(+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red(+)
terminal of the right channel connector on the loudspeaker and the black(-) terminal of the right main/front
channel of your receiver or amplifier to the black(-) terminal of the right channel connector on the loudspeaker.
Connect the center channel red(+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red(+) terminal of the center
channel connector on the loudspeaker and the black(-) terminal of the center channel of your receiver or amplifier
to the black(-) terminal of the center channel connector on the loudspeaker. It is essential that both speakers be
connected in the same way (in phase) to its own channel of the amplifier. If you experience a great lack of bass,
it is likely that one speaker is out of phase (+ and – reversed) with the other.
VERY IMPORTANT: Also, due to the critical phase relationships required for the inter-aural crosstalk cancellation
effect, it is important that not only are all connections in phase, but also it is critical that the “+” connectors on
the receiver or amplifier are connected to the “+” terminals on the SuperCinema 3D Array and the “-” terminals
on the amp or receiver to the “-” terminals on the SuperCinema 3D Array (correct absolute phase).

Turn your amplifier/receiver OFF before performing any connection steps,
in order to prevent accidental damage to your amplifier.
