SPEAKER PLACEMENT
(FIGURE 1)
Selection of Proper Wire
We recommend the use of high quality speaker cable.The speaker cable you select will
ideally be fitted with high quality connectors with either 5/16spade lugs or dual
banana plugs.
In most installations, ordinary lamp cord (16-18 gauge) has enough resistance to
degrade the signal between amplifier and speakers, particularly in lengths over 10 feet
(3 m). If possible the speaker cables should be the same length for both channels and
the shorter they are, the better the sonic performance will be.
CAUTION:When connecting your speakers to your sound system, turn your
amplifier off to avoid serious damage which could result from the unintentional
shorting of the speaker leads.
External Amplifier Requirements
ENERGY loudspeakers have been designed to be driven to high listening levels with
moderate power, while at the same time being capable of handling the power output of
large amplifiers.
Note:The ENERGY APS 5+2 impedance is 6 ohms nominal (4 ohm minimum) and
will function well with most amplifiers sold today. If you are connecting two speakers
to the same channel of an amplifier/receiver, check with the amplifier manufacturer
to ensure that it can handle minimum impedance of 2 ohms.
