Anthony Gallo Reference 3 - Manual (Page 6)

Stereo Set-Up
The Nucleus Reference
3
’s speaker binding posts accept bare wire ends, banana jacks or "U"
shaped spade connectors. The dual sets of connectors might easily be mistaken for "bi-wire"
binding posts, but they are not. The top two connectors are labeled "Speaker In," and offer a "full
range" connection to the Nucleus Reference
3
’s woofer, midranges, and tweeter.
The lower binding posts, labeled "Sub In," connect to the Nucleus Reference
3
woofer’s secondary
voice coil – they’re designed to work with the optional Anthony Gallo Acoustics’ Reference
3
SA
Power Amplifier. The SA amp works independently from your main amp and dramatically
enhances the Nucleus Reference
3
’s deep bass performance -- down to the range we associate
with full-size subwoofers. The SA amp will allow the Nucleus Reference
3
’s to reach 22 Hertz. For
more information about the remarkable Reference
3
SA Power Amplifier, see your Anthony Gallo
Acoustics dealer.
As you hook-up the cables make sure the +/- speaker connections on your receiver/amplifier and
the Nucleus Reference
3
are properly oriented. In other words, confirm that ALL of the
connections are positive-to-positive (red-to-red) and negative-to-negative (black-to-black) -- even
one flip-flop may result in lower bass output or compromised stereo imaging.
