About Speaker Cable Connection Methods

We sometimes receive inquiries from our valued customers such as:
・The sound has stopped working
・The left-right balance has become poor
・The sound spread feels weaker compared to before
・At the same volume setting, the sound feels quieter than before
and other similar concerns.

Of course, unexpected issues can sometimes occur that cause such symptoms, but in many cases, the cause is related to the cable connection method.

For example, with extended use, speaker cable screws may gradually loosen over time, weakening the contact between the terminal and cable.
For such cases, or when reconnecting after moving the equipment, we would like to share some important points to keep in mind when connecting speaker cables.

While this information is covered in our instruction manual, we would like to introduce it once again.

◆Speaker Cable Connection Method and Connection Precautions

①Turn the screw on the speaker terminal at the back of the unit counterclockwise until you can see the hole in the center of the screw.

②Insert only the copper wire portion at the tip of the speaker cable into the visible hole, then tighten the screw to secure the cable.

At this time, please insert the cable so that the vinyl insulation portion is not caught.
If the vinyl insulation portion gets caught, the audio signal transmitted through the cable may become unstable, potentially causing insufficient volume or noise generation.
Continued use in this condition may also cause speaker malfunction, so please be careful.
If the tightening is insufficient, the cable may fall out, so after tightening the screw to secure it, please gently pull the cable to confirm it won't come loose from the terminal.
※ Please take the same care when connecting cables to the amplifier side.
