MS-50BT/MS-50WT Heavy-Duty Monitor Speaker
Connecting your Speaker System
Always switch off the power to the amplifier before connecting speakers.
Choosing the Correct Speaker Cable
It is important to choose cabling designated for audio use and good quality connectors.
Using guitar cable or zip cord (designed for lamps and other electrical use) or poor
quality connectors will degrade your loudspeakers’ audio performance. For distributed
loudspeaker systems, we recommend stranded twisted pair speaker cable with an
overall vinyl jacket (plenum rated when installed in required installations).
Always use the appropriate gauge of speaker cable. For cable runs of less than 25 feet
(7.5 meters), 18- gauge cable is adequate. For longer cables, we suggest 16-gauge
stranded cable.
For installations where the speaker cable will be exposed to high traffic or weather
conditions such as moisture or extreme temperatures, we recommend you use weather-
resistant rubber jacketed cable, such as type S, SO or SJ cable.
Speaker Connection Procedures
After removing approximately 10mm (1/4-inch) of insulation from the ends of the speaker
cables, twist the strands tightly and then twist together with the distribution cable(s), using
an appropriate cable connector.
Make certain the wires do not protrude from the cable connector and touch any metal
on the speaker chassis, or any other adjacent metal.
Connect speaker wires to the appropriate terminals for your mode of operation, as
shown in the illustration below.
