Connecting your MS500 THX Select System

Please do not compromise the performance of your system by using infe-

rior quality cables. Mordaunt-Short recommends that high quality cables

of 16 gauge or higher be used. Your professional dealer will give you

good advice.

There are two pairs of terminals on the rear of every speaker which

permit bi-wiring if desired. For standard (non bi-wire) cable connection,

leave links in place and use either pair of terminals (fig. 1).

Observing polarity is of the utmost importance while connecting your

loudspeakers. Ensure that the red (+) terminals on your amplification

system are connected to the red (+) on the speaker, and black (-) on

your amplification system to black (-) on your speakers.

If your speakers are wired incorrectly they will be out of phase and sound

hollow and indistinct, with a weak bass. Re-check your connections for

correct polarity and reverse the connections if necessary

Bi-wiring sends the bass and treble frequencies down separate speaker

cables, resulting in a clearer, more focused sound. To bi-wire each speaker

loosen the upper pair of terminals and allow the binding post links to

disconnect (fig. 2). Use two runs of cable, or specific bi-wire cable,

between the amplifier and each pair of terminals

Important note

Always unplug all A.C. powered components before making any loud-

speaker or component connections. This will avoid the risk of electric

shock or damage to your equipment.
