5. Basic Single-Wire Connection
Connecttheampliertoeachspeakerasshownin
the illustration on the right. You can use either set of
terminalsonthespeaker.NOTE:Donotremovethe
metal jumpers from between the two sets of terminals
when connecting the speaker wires.
IMPORTANT:Donotreversepolarities(i.e.,“+”to
“–”or“–”to“+”)whenmakingconnections.Doing
so will cause poor stereo imaging and diminished
bass performance.
The4319’sgold-platedspeakerterminalscanacceptavarietyofwireconnectortypes:barewire,spadeconnectors,
pin connectors and banana connectors.
