Wiring Output Connectors - JBL MA7100HP Owner's Manual

WIRING OUTPUT CONNECTORS

Before making any output connections, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the amplifier and carefully review the total
impedance for loudspeakers connected to each amplifier output.
JBL recommends using two-conductor or four-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire up to 12 AWG.
Speaker outputs provide connection to passive loudspeakers via binding post-type connectors that accept bare wire, spade or
banana plug terminations. The connectors are grouped in pairs. Each pair consists of two wire terminations: positive (+) and
negative (–)
To attach speaker cables to a binding post using bare wire, strip approximately 3/8-inch (10 mm) of insulation from the end of
the positive and negative leads of the cable and insert the bare ends into the corresponding binding post connector, tightening
the screw terminals to secure the termination. Repeat this procedure for each speaker.
Note: Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker terminal. The protection circuit may be
activated if the bare wire touches the rear panel or if the + and - sides touch each other.

CONNECTING A SUBWOOFER
Use a subwoofer cable to connect the subwoofer. Two subwoofers can be connected to this unit. The same signal is output
from the respective subwoofer terminals.
