LOUDSPEAKERS
Check the impedance of your speakers. You can use types with an impedance of between 4 and 8 Ohms.
The red coloured speaker terminals are positive (+) and the black speaker terminals are negative (-). Make sure the correct polarity is maintained at each speaker connector or the sound can become weak and “phasey” with little bass.
USING BARE WIRE CONNECTIONS
Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping off approximately 10mm (3/8”) or less of the outer insulation. More than 10mm could cause a short circuit. Twist the wires tightly together so there are no loose ends. Unscrew the speaker terminal, insert the speaker cable, tighten the terminal and secure the cable.
Note: All connections are made using standard loudspeaker cable.
USING BANANA PLUGS
We recommend using Banana plugs with our units to establish a secure connection and ensure there are no loose strands of wire that may cause unwanted noise or interference.
Once you have stripped the outer insulation of the cable and twisted the wires as indicated below, securely connect these to your banana plugs and push the plug in as far as possible without applying excessive force.
Note: When using a banana plug, make sure the speaker terminals are completely tightened before inserting the plug.
BASIC CONNECTIONS
Balanced stereo connections:
The diagram below shows a basic balanced stereo connection between two EDGE M amplifiers and the EDGE NQ. In this stereo connection each Edge M drives one speaker.
The Balanced/Unbalanced switch on the Edge M must be switched to the ‘Balanced’ position.
Unbalanced stereo connections:
The diagram below shows a basic unbalanced stereo connection between two EDGE M amplifiers and the EDGE NQ. In this stereo connection each Edge M drives one speaker.
The Balanced/Unbalanced switch on the Edge M must be switched to the ‘Unbalanced’ position.
