How to Connect Using One Amplier
Caution: The AC Power Cord should not be connected
to the Amplifier until after the Loudspeaker
Connections have been made. Failure to observe
this could result in Electric Shock.
When connecting a ML1 Loudspeaker to an amplifier
it is very important to use cables of adequate size, so
there is little to no power loss in the cables. The size is
specified in Gauge Numbers or AWG (American Wire

Prepare Loudspeaker cables using the instructions
below:
1.
stranded, carefully twist the strands together as
tightly as possible.
Notes: 1. If desired, the twisted ends can be tinned with solder to
keep the strands together.
2. The prepared bare wire cable ends may be inserted into
sp
a
de lug connectors.
Select from the following options to connect the ML1:
Banana Plugs:
Caution: Banana Plugs are for use in the United States
and Canada only:
2. Attach the previously prepared bare
wire cable ends into the banana plugs
and secure the connections. Refer to
3. Rotate the top of the Output Terminal

4.
hookup cables with banana plugs into the hole at
the end of the terminal to the
LOW Input Terminal.
Note: It is important to maintain the correct polarity at both ends
of the Loudspeaker cables.
5. Connect the other end of the Loudspeaker cables
6. Connect the second ML1 Loudspeaker in a

2. Connect the Loudspeaker hookup cables to the
Input Terminal. Insert the spade lug connector or
prepared section of the cable end into the Input
Terminal side access hole, and tighten the Input
into the terminals so the lugs or wire cannot slip
Note: It is important to maintain the correct polarity at both ends
of the Loudspeaker cables.
3. Connect the other end of Loudspeaker cables
4. In a similar manner, connect the Loudspeaker
