To connect wire to the binding post [figure 7], unscrew the hex nut and insert the bare wire into the hole near the base of the binding post. Do not insert the insulated part of the wire into the hole as this will not give you a good connection. Twist the hex nut back down the binding post until it firmly meets the wire.

BI-WIRING OR BI-AMPING YOUR LSi SERIES LOUDSPEAKERS If you decide to bi-wire or bi-amp, you must remove the flat metal jumpers between terminal posts. Failure to do this could result in damage to your amplifier and loudspeakers. Bi-wiring [figure 8] can provide noticeable improvements in the overall transparency of your loudspeakers. Run separate speaker wires to the low and high frequency drivers from a single amplifier: after removing the jumpers, connect one set of speaker wires to the upper terminals on each speaker and one set of (usually heavier gauge) wires to the lower terminals. Connect the other ends of both wire sets to the corresponding amplifier outputs. Bi-amping [figure 9] allows you to use separate amplifiers for the high and low frequency sections of your loudspeaker for greater dynamic range and lower distortion. After removing the jumpers, connect the speaker wires from the high frequency amplifier outputs to the upper set of terminal posts on each speaker. Follow the same procedure for connecting the low frequency amplifier outputs to the lower set of terminals. Remember to maintain correct wiring polarity (+ to +, - to -) in all connections. wALL MOUNTING THE LSi SERIES SURROUND FX LOUDSPEAKERS The LSi Series Surround FX Loudspeakers feature built-in wall mounting brackets.
