Stands and Brackets
The bookshelf loudspeakers are intended primarily for stand mounting, though they can be mounted on wall brackets or even on sturdy
shelves. The quality of loudspeaker stands greatly in ces the performance of your loudspeakers, please do no sy products.
Centre Channel Loudspeakers
Each centre channel loudspeaker is supplied with one set of mounting feet. By using combination of large and small feet the loudspeaker
may be angled to point directly at the listening position. This will be found useful when the centre speaker is positioned under the TV
screen.

Cables and Connectors
Choosing Loudspeaker Cable
Specialist audio cable usually o ers better performance than general purpose 'bell' or 'zip' wire.
Choose a cable of suitable diameter – cable that is too thin will limit the dynamics of the sound and may impair the bass response. Audio
cable is polarised, with two cores of di
erent colours, or often a raised rib or coloured tracer in the case of twin cable. Before you purchase
your cable, give careful thought to the positioning of your loudspeakers.
This is especially the case if you are bi-wiring your loudspeakers.
Cable lengths to loudspeaker pairs should be the same for left and right channels in order to equalise the signal
transmission. Allow some slack in your speaker cables so you can alter their position to best advantage.
Preparing Loudspeaker Cable
Split the twin cores to a depth of about 40mm. Carefully strip the insulation from each end, leaving about 10mm
of bare wire. If the cable is stranded, lightly twist to gather any loose strands.
Connecting Screw Terminals
All loudspeakers use screw terminals.
Unscrew the terminal. Insert the bare end of the cable into the hole in the base of the terminal. Tighten securely.
When connecting terminals make sure you leave no strands of bare wire that can short across to adjacent
terminals.
As an alternative to bare wire you can use specialist spade connectors. Your Wharfedale dealer will be pleased
to advise you on this issue.

Only for Surround.
f your speakers use a special bi-wireable crossover panel with four terminal binding posts. Please
follow the drawing carefully to see the correct orientation of the loudspeaker terminals. The upper
terminals connect to the treble unit, the lower pair to the bass unit. As supplied, the treble terminal pair
is connected to the bass terminal pair via removable metal straps. These should be left in place for
standard installations.
