Connection Tips

Center Speaker

Separate and strip the ends of the speaker wire as shown. Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and () terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and () on the speaker to () on the amplifier. Wiring out of phase results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

Troubleshooting
If there is no sound from the center speaker, check the following: Make sure that your receivers Center Channel Mode is in the normal or wide position. If it is in the phantom position, the center speaker will not play. Check all connections between processor/ amplifier and the center speaker. If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased, check the following: Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut, or punctured. If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the minimum impedance requirements of your receiver/amplifier.
