Connections

Choose the speaker cord

It is important to use the proper gauge (thickness) of speaker cord. Standard zip cord

(2-conductor, 18-gauge wire) is recommended for most applications. You can find this

wire at most electrical and hardware stores.

You will need thicker wire if your speakers will be more than 30 feet from a receiver or

amplifier. Refer to the “Wire recommendations” under “Technical Information,” or contact

your authorized Bose

dealer for more information.

To run speaker wire through a wall or under a floor

Make sure you have enough wire to reach from the receiver to each speaker. Also check

your local building code requirements. Before proceeding, you may want to contact an

electrical installer for information about your local building or safety regulations.

Prepare the cord

Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is marked

(striped, collared, or ribbed). This marked wire is always positive (+). The plain wire is

always negative (–). These wires correspond to the red (+) and black (–) terminals on the

speaker, receiver, or amplifier.

Note: It is sometimes difficult to distinguish wire markings. Inspect both wires carefully.

To prepare ends of cord:

1. Strip approximately

⁄2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from both wires.

2. Twist the bare ends of each wire.

Make the connections

Just press down the terminal tab on the bottom of each speaker to insert the appropriate

wire (Figure 3).

1. Connect one cord to the right speaker output of your receiver or amplifier.

a. Attach the marked wire at one end to the red (+) terminal.

b. Attach the plain wire at that end to the black (–) terminal.

2. Connect the other end of the same cord to your right speaker.

a. Attach the marked wire to the red (+) terminal.

b. Attach the plain wire to the black (–) terminal.

3. Connect the second cord to the left speaker output and left speaker. Follow the

procedure described above.

Note: Be careful when using stranded wire. Loose strands should not touch across

terminals.

CAUTION:

Before making any connections,

turn off your receiver or amplifier

and unplug from outlet (the AC

power mains). Not doing so may

result in damage to your system.

CAUTION:

Never use broken or frayed

wiring, as electrical shock or

damage may result.
