3.5 Choose Output Wire and Con-
nectors
Crown recommends using pre-built or profes-
sionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor,
heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors. Use
banana plugs, spade lugs or bare wire for your
output connectors (Figure 3.5). To prevent short
circuits, wrap or otherwise insulate exposed
loudspeaker cable connectors.
Using the guidelines below, select the appropri-
ate size of wire based on the distance from
amplifier to speaker.
CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for
output wiring.
