Connecting your Nucleus Due’ Speakers
1. Turn off your amplifier or receiver before connecting wire, or severe damage may result.
2. Selecting wire. We have researched the ways in which wire affects speaker performance, and have
developed a solid core 18 gauge, oxygen free copper wire to optimize performance of Due. Our wire can
be purchased from your dealer. If you prefer to use different cables, choose a product that, for runs of 25
feet or longer, is 16-gauge or greater.
3. Wires are attached to the plastic terminals on the back of the speaker. These "five-way" binding posts
can accept either bare or terminated wire leads. In any event, make sure connections are secure, and that
proper polarity is maintained (see #4, below).
4. In order to preserve the integrity of the signal supplied to the speakers, proper polarity is critical. The
black (-) terminals on the satellites must be connected to the black terminals on the other end of the wire
(receiver or subwoofer). The same is true for the red (+) terminals at both ends of the wire.
5. For 2 channel stereo playback, Dues may be connected directly to the amplifier, although our powered
sub will give more extended bass performance. (For the best blending of sub and satellite, set the
subwoofer’s crossover frequency between 60 and 80Hz)
6. For home theater use, there will be several connectivity options.
Option 1: Connect five or more of our speakers (Due’ in the front and the Micros in the back, for example)
to the receiver or amplifier and set all of the channels to the small speaker setting. Connect a powered
subwoofer directly to the subwoofer output from the receiver or processor, sometimes called LFE (low
frequency effect).
Option 2: Connect the center and rear surround channels directly to the receiver and set it to the small
speaker setting. If your subwoofer has speaker wire terminals you could select the full-range setting on
your receiver or processor, connect the main speaker wires from the receiver (or amplifier) to the high level
inputs of your sub and from the sub, run cables to the left and right main speakers. This would allow you to
use the frequency control on the sub for adjustments. ( Typically 60 to 80Hz for the Due’)
7. Tips for Optimizing Bass Response: Due to a phenomenon known as "boundary effects," low frequency
extension is augmented when mounting Due on a wall rather than a stand. The closer to a wall Due is
located, the more extended the bass will be. For deepest bass response, the addition of a powered
subwoofer, with its crossover set between 60 and 80 Hz, will add a solid foundation to your music or home
theater experience.

Step 3) Mount Speaker on Stand and use 3rd Thumb Screw to secure
Speaker to Stand. Re-adjust angle of speaker if necessary and re tighten
Thumb Screws untill snug. Hang Due’ onto bracket assembly by tipping
speaker mounting slot, on rear side, onto bracket extension. Attach
speaker wires and enjoy.
(Option: Speakers can be mounted Horizontally as shown)
