Connecting the Loudspeakers
Your new loudspeakers are fitted with particularly high-quality connectors from the "nextgen" range made by the
specialist manufacturer WBT (see the image on the right). These connectors feature a unique mechanism
that helps you to connect cables with spades as explained under point 2. The connectors of the CODEX
indicator)
accept both spades and banana plugs. Loose cable strands oxidise easily and are not suitable for a permanently
high-quality listening experience.
1. Please switch off all equipment in your Hifi system before you begin
to connect your loudspeakers.
2. If you are using a loudspeaker cable with spade connectors, turn the
screw clamps to the left until you can easily slide the spades into
the openings at the side. Push the spades into these openings and
turn the screw clamps to the right until you hear a clicking noise
this is the torque indicator. Now turn the clamps until they are
-
hand-tight, which will normally be the case after a few more 'clicks'.
After this point, you can indeed tighten the clamps even more, but
this will not improve the results. In the worst case scenario, further
tightening the clamps may lead to damage to the surface structure
of the spade connectors.
3. Make sure you have the right polarity. As a rule, loudspeaker cables are accordingly labelled, either by a
permanent marking on one of the two conductors of the cable or by plus "+" and minus "-" markings on the
cable ends.
4. Now connect the cable to your amplifier and make sure that you have the right polarity here.
You can now start to optimally align your new CODEX to the listening position.
