ConneCtions
All connections should be made with the equipment turned off.
Totem delivers all speakers with installed jumpers. For a standard single wire connection simply leave the
jumpers in place. Be certain to connect the positive red (+) terminal of the speaker to the positive red (+)
output terminal on the amplifier. Be certain to connect the negative black (-) terminal of the speaker to
the negative black (-) output terminal on the amplifier. The speakers will sound out of phase (bass loss and
image distortion) if there is an error in your connection. Totem Speakers can be bi-amped and bi-wired,
please consult your amplifier manual for detailed instructions or contact your Totem Authorized Dealer.
Caution: For a bi-amp connection jumpers MuST be removed.

if speaker is functional. Verify power cords on all sources. (Amplifier, preamp, receiver, CD, DVR)
