1 Speaker Output Terminals
The Wisdom Audio SW-1 is equipped with high-current binding posts for
output termination to the loudspeaker system. To take full advantage of the
amplifier’s sonic quality, we recommend using high-quality speaker cable;
please see your Wisdom Audio dealer.
Caution! NEVER connect a power amplifier’s output terminals to any device
other than a loudspeaker.
NEVER short-circuit the amplifier’s output terminals.
NEVER connect the output terminals of one amplifier to the output
terminals of another amplifier.
Each SW-1 amplifier has a single, patented Cardas speaker terminal for
making the speaker wire connections. This system uses a single large knob
to tighten down on both positive + and negative – connections at once,
without any need for tools.
The unique design of these binding posts allows the use of a strong, hard
material for the threads that provide the pressure on the connection, while
at the same time using optimal electrical connections (which require a
softer metal). By separating the mechanical and the electrical systems
within the connector, both can be properly optimized.
There are two recommended methods for connecting speaker cables to
your amplifier. Either a high-quality spade lug or hook lug, soldered to the
cable (or crimped with extremely high pressure), is best.
