4.0 mm banana plugs: The pins can be
put directly into the binding post without
any tightening necessary.
Cable spades: Un-tighten the binding
posts, insert the spade into the opening,
and secure the spade by tightening the
posts.
1. Connect a two-pole (+/-) loudspeaker cable to the binding posts, located at rear of the
cabinet (see Fig. 1). The high quality, gold plated binding posts can accommodate different
connection systems:
Note
• With every connection system, ensure that the contact is tight and has a proper
contact area.
• Connectors with similar gold plating as binding posts will typically offer the best
results and remain corrosion-free.
• Please ensure that the positive and negative cables do not make contact with
each other. Tighten the posts, and check the contact after a few days to make
sure that it hasn’t loosened.
Note
Please make sure that the red
marked post of the speaker is
connected to the red marked output
of the amp, and the white or black
marked post to the white or black
marked output accordingly.
2. Connect the other cable ends to the
loudspeaker outputs of your switched off
power amp (see Fig. 2).
Bi-wiring/bi-amping
Dynaudio loudspeakers feature a carefully
ne-tuned cross-over, optimized using
selected parts and an advanced circuitry
to achieve a truly balanced and smooth
frequency response. Therefore, dividing
the frequency sections through bi-wiring or
bi-amping is neither benecial nor optional.
Choice of loudspeaker cable
The loudspeaker cable can have an
impact on sound quality. In general, quality
cable products will yield a quality result.
Dynaudio loudspeakers are designed to
be very neutral and thus are not extremely
suited to any particular type of cable.
The choice of cable is as much a factor
of matching the cable to the entire audio
system. Please consult your Dynaudio
Bare wires: Un-tighten the binding posts
and place the cable into the binding posts.

loudspeaker cables that will suit both
your electronics and your Dynaudio
loudspeakers.
Connecting surround speakers
When connecting a two-channel stereo
system, only the right and left channels are
connected to the amplier.
In a surround set-up, center, side or rear
loudspeakers as well as a subwoofer are
typically connected to provide for a
multi-channel listening experience. Please
refer to the amplier’s owner manual for
particular connection instructions and see
chapter “Multichannel loudspeaker setup”
on page 10 for further help.
