No worries. Make sure you have jumpers between each set (black to black and red to red), - i believe the Model 1s come with their own wire jumpers. then connect your cables to the lower set of connectors.
Trying to hook up Totem 1 Bookshelf’s …..
Trying to hook up Naim Nait 5i to Totem 1 bookshelf speakers…..on the back of each of the Totems there are four connectors - left (top to bottom) is two connectors with red cable connecting from top connector to bottom connector. On right same thing but with black cable connecting top to bottom connectors.
why would there be four connectors per speaker …..do I just connect into top black and top red and ignore the bottom connectors?
sorry for my ignorance.

The top set connects to the tweeters; the lower to the woofers. You could run what's called a bi-wire cable (Generic Amazon set here) from your amp to the speakers after you remove the jumper cables. Opinions are divided as to whether biwiring makes a palpable sonic difference, though much more learned minds than me can weigh in on this. I would suggest running your normal speaker cable into the lows only because woofers are tough to drive. So.etimes I'll run one wire into the red upper and one I to the black lower. Sonic difference? Don't know. |
