Installation

Wiring the System: All SL Series passive speakers feature a flexible 5-way binding posts to support connections
using bare wires (most popular method), split spade lug connectors, pin connectors, banana plugs and dual
banana plugs *(SL-12 and SL-15 models are not compatible with standard dual banana plugs).

Connecting the System:
STEP 1: Determine the type of speaker wire connection that
will be made. The most common connection is using bare
wire. Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15mm) of insulation from the
ends of the speaker cable to expose the bare wire; then twist
the bare wires tightly.
STEP 2: Unscrew the binding-post cover to expose a hole in
the metal post. Insert the bare wire or pin connector into the
hole noting that the positive terminal on the speaker connects
to the positive terminal on the amplifier. The negative
terminal on the speaker connects to the negative terminal on
the amplifier. For split spade lug connections, simply place the
'U' shape against the metal post. For banana plugs, do not
unscrew the binding post cover; remove the plastic cover and
simply insert into the top of the posts.
STEP 3: Screw the binding-post cover so that the connection is
securely touching the metal post and will not fall out.
Important: Failure to observe correct polarity will result in
poor sound balance, decreased imaging and worst of all,
decreased bass response.
Important: All equipment (A/V receiver, preamplifier
and/or amplifier) should be powered 'OFF' and the
manual should be read prior to making any speaker
connections.
Note: Typical speaker connections use a minimum 16-
AWG gauge speaker wire. Speaker wire is two conductor
multi-strand wire housed inside insulation. One of the
conductors is usually marked with a striped line that is
considered the positive (+) connection.
