Figure 3. Wiring diagram shows polarity
connections for one channel of a stereo or
home theater system.
WIRING THE SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections.
For speaker connections, use #18 gauge speaker wire (or #16 for runs over 25 feet) with
polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered negative
polarity (i.e.,
-
).
RS Series speakers have color-coded terminals that accept a variety of wire connectors. To
ensure proper polarity, connect each
+
terminal on the back of the amplifier, receiver, or
television to the respective
+
(red) terminal on each speaker, as shown in Figure 3. Similarly,
connect the
-
(black) terminals in the same way. Also, see the owner’s manuals that were
included with your amplifier, receiver, or television to confirm connection procedures.
Do not reverse polarities (i.e.,
+
to
-
or
-
to
+
) when making connections. Doing so will
cause poor imaging and diminished bass response
