spades or bare wire
1. Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The
speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base.
2. Insert the wire or spade into the terminal and turn the
terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it:
Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal,
only the bare, stripped wire.
3. Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly.

Connection using speaker cables with
banana plugs
Tighten the terminal cap and insert a banana plug.
< The inside diameter of spades should be 8 mm or more.
When your speaker cable has bare wire at the end
Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off
approximately 10 mm (1/2”) or less of the outer insulation.
(Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if
the bared wires should come in contact with each other.)
Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together.
The thickness of wires should be less than 4 mm (1/8”).

For European customers
In accordance with European safety regulations, it is not
possible to connect banana plugs into the speaker terminals
on European models.
The holes into which banana plugs are inserted have been
covered with black caps. Connect the speakers using spades
or bare wires.
If the black caps become separated from the terminals, return
them to their original position.
