CONNECTING PW AMP TO SPEAKERS WARNING: Use Class 2 wiring only. CAUTION: Do not connect speakers, which are rated less than 4 Ohms to the Paradigm PW AMP. IMPORTANT! Correct polarity (or phase) is critical for proper soundstage imaging and bass performance. Connect one speaker at a time to ensure proper connection of every channel. The red (+) amplifier terminal must be connected to the red (+) speaker terminal. The same applies to the black (-) terminals. Make sure all wires are firmly fastened. Repeat this connection procedure for each speaker in your system. CAUTION: While making connections with bare wire, ensure that none of your bare wire comes in contact with a an adjacent terminal. The speakers to be connected to the Paradigm PW AMP should be rated to handle at least 75 W for 8 Ohm speakers and at least 150 W for 4 Ohm speakers. Your PW AMP's binding posts can be used with banana, plug connectors, and bare wire. 12 IMPORTANT! If you hear a distinct lack of bass and a dislocated stereo image then one or more of your speakers may be connected out of phase (polarity is reversed). Re-check to ensure that each speaker's cable is connected with correct polarity: red (+) to red (+) and black (-) to black (-). Bare Wire Connectors: If you are using speaker wire without banana plugs, simply press in the spring loaded binding post to expose the connection hole. Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire into the hole, then release the binding post. The exposed speaker wire should be securely gripped by the binding post. Banana Plug Connectors: If you are using banana plugs, remove the end caps from the PW AMP's binding posts to expose the banana plug socket; insert the banana plug into the socket.
