  • Montering: Ensure mounting surfaces are structurally sound and can support the weight of the speakers. Use appropriate hardware for installation.
  • Bedrading: Always turn off power to your amplifier or receiver before making any speaker connections. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and – to –) to prevent phase issues.
  • Temperatuur: These speakers are designed to withstand temperatures from -20°F to 200°F (-28°C to 93°C).

4.3 Bedradingsverbindings

Voordat u enige verbindings maak, maak seker dat u ampverligter of ontvanger is afgeskakel.

  1. Berei luidsprekerdraad voor: Strip approximately 1/2 inch (12mm) of insulation from the ends of your speaker wire. Twist the bare strands tightly.
  2. Koppel aan luidspreker: Locate the binding posts on the back of the AP450 speaker. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the speaker to the positive (+) terminal of your amplifier, and the negative (–) terminal of the speaker to the negative (–) terminal of your amplifier. Ensure no stray wire strands are touching between terminals, which could cause a short circuit.
  3. Koppel aan Amplewendiger: Repeat the process for the other end of the speaker wire, connecting it to the corresponding speaker output terminals on your ampverligter of ontvanger.
