Anthony Gallo Reference 3 - Manual (Page 7)

Home Theater Set-Up
The following set-up procedure is nearly identical to the previous recommendations. Locate your
receiver/pre/pro’s speaker set-up menu select "Large" for the Left/Right front speakers. You may need to
consult your receiver’s owner’s manual to learn more about home theater set-up.
The Nucleus Reference
3
speakers may produce enough bass on their own – especially when used with
our Reference
3
SA subwoofer amplifier – so you may not need a separate subwoofer.
The Nucleus Reference
3
’s speaker connectors accept bare wire ends, banana jacks or small spades.
The dual sets of connectors might easily be mistaken for "bi-wire" binding posts, but they are not. The
two top connectors are labeled "Speaker In," and offer a true "full range" connection to the Nucleus
Reference
3
’s woofer, midranges, and tweeter.
The lower binding posts are labeled "Sub In" -- they connect to the Nucleus Reference
3
woofer’s
secondary voice coil – they’re designed to receive power from 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 wires 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.
