AudioSource System 230 - User Manual

LS130 & LS130C
CONNECTING YOUR SPEAKERS
The spring-clamp connectors will accommodate up to 16-gauge speaker wire. Strip the insulation back about 1/4 inch. Press
the Spring-clamp in to reveal the opening of the connector, insert wire and release.
When connecting the speakers, be sure to maintain the correct polarity. Attach the wire from the (+) Red or positive terminal
of the speaker to the (+) Red or positive terminal of the corresponding component’s speaker output terminal. The (-) Black or
negative terminal of the speaker must connect the respective (-) Black or negative terminal of the corresponding component’s
speaker output terminal. This is easy to do by observing the color, stripe or ribbing that appears on the speaker wire. Note:
The LS130C Center channel uses a Green terminal for (+) or positive, where the LS130 satellites utilize a Red terminal for (+)
or positive. All LS130 and LS130C speakers use Black for the (-) or negative terminal.
