  • For stereo imaging, position the speakers equidistant from your listening position and spaced appropriately apart.
  • Avoid placing speakers directly against a wall if possible, especially due to the rear bass-reflex port, to prevent excessive bass resonance. A distance of 10-30 cm from the wall is often ideal.

Insert the exposed speaker wire into the hole, ensuring that the positive (+) wire (often marked with red or a stripe) connects to the red terminal and the negative (-) wire (often marked with black or plain) connects to the black terminal. Tighten the terminals securely.
  3. Jikọọ na Ampntughari: Connect the other end of the speaker wire to the corresponding speaker output terminals on your amplifier. Again, ensure positive (+) connects to positive (+) and negative (-) connects to negative (-). Maintain consistent polarity for both speakers.
