Understanding the 5.1 Connection Layout
A standard 5.1 home theatre system uses five passive speaker channels and one powered-subwoofer channel. Each red-and-black terminal pair carries the positive and negative connection for one passive speaker.
| Channel | Connection | Typical Speaker |
|---|---|---|
| Front Left | Binding-post pair | Left main speaker |
| Front Right | Binding-post pair | Right main speaker |
| Centre | Binding-post pair | Centre-channel speaker |
| Rear Left | Binding-post pair | Left surround speaker |
| Rear Right | Binding-post pair | Right surround speaker |
| Subwoofer | RCA jack | Compatible powered subwoofer |
Gold-Plated Speaker Connections
The speaker binding posts use gold-plated connection surfaces and are colour coded to make positive and negative speaker wiring easier to identify.
Individual banana plugs provide a convenient removable connection between the wall plate and receiver-side speaker cables. Confirm the plug size and connection method before installation.
Powered Subwoofer Connection
The RCA connection is intended to carry a compatible line-level subwoofer signal between the AV receiver and powered subwoofer location.
Use a suitable in-wall-rated subwoofer or coaxial cable for the permanent cable run. The wall plate does not supply electrical power to the subwoofer.
