Connections
For the best sound quality and signal transfer, AV123 recommends a minimum of 16
gauge high quality, multi stranded, oxygen free copper speaker cables. Speaker wiring
connections are accomplished through the 5-way binding posts.
Left/Right Connections
Connect the amplier’s LEFT channel outputs to the positive and
negative input terminals of the LEFT speaker, being sure to observe
correct polarity at both the speaker and amplier. Connect the
amplier’s RIGHT channel outputs to the positive and negative
input terminals of the RIGHT speaker, again being sure to observe correct polarity.
Remember, every speaker cable connection is another opportunity to get the polarity
wrong! Incorrect polarity connections lead to poor imaging and low bass output. Refer
to your amplier’s connection manual if you have a multi-channel home theater amplier
or receiver to ensure the component is suitable for driving 8 Ohm
per channel loads.
Center Channel Connections
Connect the amplier’s CENTER channel outputs to the positive
and negative input terminals of the CENTER CHANNEL speaker. Be
sure to observe correct polarity. Refer to your amplier’s or home theater receiver’s
connection manual to ensure the component is suitable for driving 8 Ohm per channel
loads or the center channel output. Also, you must make sure the preamplier/processor
has been congured to enable the center channel output.
Subwoofer Connections
There are three methods in which to accomplish this:
Speaker Level Inputs
In situations where a line level out from your receiver or pre-
amp is not available, we recommend the following method for
connecting an AV123 subwoofer:
1) Connect the left and right speakers directly to the amplier
outputs (both channels).
2) Next, connect a second pair of speaker wires from each left
and right main speaker to the high level input on the subwoofer
amplier.
The high level input safely allows speaker-level signals for signal
input and sums the left and right channels to a mixed mono input so that the subwoofer
always plays whether the receiver’s Balance control is moved left or right.
