CONNECTIONS

Connecting

Speakers
1.
POWER
REQUIREMENTS
The
Model
301
is
designed
to
be
powered
by
the
majority
of
the
fine
amplifiers
and
receivers
that
are
on
the
market
today.
Power
requirements
will
vary
substan-
tially
with
room
size,
speaker
placement,
and
type
of
music
played.
High
quality
sound
requires
less
than
10
watts
rms
per
channel,
although
amplifiers
rated
up
to
60
watts
rms
per
channel
may
be
used.
2.
WIRE
SELECTION
If
the
wires
to
your
speakers
are
less
than
30
feet
long,
18-gauge
zipcord
(two-conductor)
wire
is
recom-
mended.
If
30-
to
50-foot
lengths
of
wire
are
needed,
16-gauge
two-conductor
wire
should
be
used.
If
your
dealer
doesn't
provide
you
with
speaker
wire,
it
can
be
ob-
tained
at
most
hardware
stores.
Choosing
the
correct
wire
size
insures
that
the
wire
connecting
your
speakers
doesn't
have
too
much
resistance.
Excessive
re-
sistance
causes
audible
coloration
and
loss
of
power
with
all
speak-
ers.
3.
PHASING
It
is
important
that
the
connections
to
the
speakers
and
the
receiver
or
amplifier
be
the
same
for
both
channels
so
that
the
two
speakers
are
in
phase
with
each
other.
Refer
to
Diagram
5
as
you
do
the
following
steps:
1.
Start
with
the
speaker
marked
“Part
1”.
2.
Place
it
on
the
left
side
of
your
room.
3.
Locate
the
“POS”
and
“COM”
terminals
on
the
rear
of
the
speaker.
4.
Using
your
speaker
wire,
which
is
marked
to
distinguish
one
conductor
from
the
other
by
means
of
color
or
grooved
ridges,
connect
the
terminal
marked
“COM”
on
the
back
of
the
left
speaker
to
the
terminal
marked
“COM,”
“negative”
or
(-),
on
the
left
channel
amplifier
output.”
5.
Connect
the
“POS”
terminal
on
the
left
speaker
to
the
terminal
marked
“POS,”
“positive”
or
(+),
on
the
left
channel
output
of
the
amplifier
or
receiver.
6.
Place
the
speaker
marked
“Part
2”
on
the
right-hand
side
of
the
room
and
repeat
the
connection
procedure.
4.
FUSING
When
using
the
Model
301
with
amplifiers
rated
at
more
than
60
watts
rms
per
channel,
or
with
sinusoidal
or
other
test
signals,
we
recommend
that
the
speaker
be
protected
by
a
BUSS
MDL
1%-amp
“slow-blow”
fuse
(or
equivalent)
using
an
in-line
HDH
fuseholder
(or
equivalent)
wired
in
series
on
the
posi-
tive
side
of
each
speaker
cable.
The
fuse
will
also
provide
pro-
tection
against
speaker
damage
in
the
event
of
amplifier
failure.
“When
connecting
to
your
amplifier,
if
there
is
a
choice
of
imped-
ances
on
the
amplifier
output,
use
the
terminal
marked
“8”
or
“8
ohms.”
If
two
pairs
of
Model
301s
are
being
connected
in
parallel,
the
terminal
marked
“4”
or
“4
ohms”
on
the
receiver
or
amplifier
should
be
used.
