User manual RUSSOUND HTP-1

[. . . ] The 7/16" gold-plated binding post hex nuts make for easy and secure connections, and the captured posts won't turn while they are being tightened. The 5-way binding posts have gold plating to resist corrosion and can accept the following: bare or tinned wire up to 12 gauge in thickness, pins, spade lugs, and single or double banana plugs. The powered subwoofer connections use RCA-F connectors. [. . . ] Typically one conductor is marked in some way, either with printing on the outer jacket, different color wire conductors, a formed ridge on the outer jacket or a thread running within one of the conductors. By convention the marked conductor is the positive or hot lead (Red). It is very important to maintain proper phasing by hooking the positive leads to the positive terminals and negative leads to negative terminals on every component. If one speaker is wired backwards there will typically be a lack of bass response and the sound may appear to wander between the speakers rather than be precisely placed. Use a 7/16" (11mm) socket to tighten the hex heads of the binding posts. Make them snug, without overtightening and damaging the terminals or the plate. Re-tighten the connections within 24 hours of making the original connections to ensure long-term reliability. Pin connector - Loosen the hex head, insert the pin into the side hole on the binding post, then tighten the hex head. Insert the spade so that it hugs the binding post, then tighten the hex head. Banana plug connector - Make sure the hex head is tight on the binding post. Insert the banana plug as far as it will go into the top hole of the binding post. Bare or tinned wire - Strip the speaker wires, exposing approximately 1/2 inch (14mm) of wire. Individually twist each conductor to keep the strands of wire bundled together. Loosen hex head, insert wire into the side hole of the binding post, then tighten the hex head. RCA connector - The RCA connectors for powered/active subwoofers utilize "F" type connectors on the back of the plate for increased reliability. Be sure the left and right channels remain consistent throughout the wiring process.
