Connecting the speakers
You will find the connector terminal on the rear of your Canton
speakers. this terminal is provided for connecting the Canton
speakers to the amplifier.Important!
Make sure that the polarity is correct. Plus to plus and minus
to minus. In order to make it easier to distinguish plus (+) from
minus (–) the screwclamps on the back of the loudspeaker
(plus = red, minus = black) as well as the screwclamps of your
amplifier or receiver differ in color or are marked with a symbol.
also the two conductors of the loudspeaker cable differ in color,
form or marking. Different polarity between the left and the right
channel lead to sound falsifications.
For a better understanding please check the operating instructions
of your controller.

Important!
Switch-off your amplifier before connecting the speakers to it.
Bi-wiring/bi-amping-terminal
the loudspeakers of the Reference K series are equipped such that
you can connect the tweeter/midrange chassis and the woofer
chassis separately to two respective amplifiers (bi-amping), or at
least via two separate connecting cables (bi-wiring). For this pur-
pose these speakers are fitted with a dual terminals set. the upper
pair of sockets is intended for the treble/midrange frequencies, and
the bottom pair for bass frequencies. these two terminal pairs have
been linked with jumpers in the factory for normal operation with a
single connecting cable.
Remove the jumpercables for bi-wiring operating mode and bi-amping
operating mode, otherwise the connected amplifieres might be dam-
aged. For this purpose, release the terminal screws and remove the
jumpercables.
