speaker. Connect the � (black) terminals in the same way.
Important!
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to � or � to +) when making
connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished
bass response. Be certain that positive and negative wire
strands are completely isolated to avoid short circuits that may
damage your equipment.
Figure 5.The satellites and center channel speaker feature
terminals that can be connected in several different ways: e.g.,
banana plugs, spade terminals and direct wiring (as shown
here).
