ADDING THE DIY-ZEROs TO YOUR EXISTING CABLE

Cut short the BLACK and WHITE leads that go to the speaker as needed.

Strip back Teflon insulation and connect the WHITE (+) and BLACK (-) leads to the speaker.






-or-

Connect both WHITE (+) and BLACK (-) pairs to bi-wireable speakers.

Cut short the GRAY, YELLOW, BLUE, and BROWN leads as shown.

Acquire a set of binding posts. Notice that the music signal is not passing through the binding posts. Their quality is not critical since they are only being used to tightly hold together the cables to the leads. Suggested sources:

Use the binding posts to connect together your existing speaker cables to the colored pair of ZEROs leads for the desired speaker impedance multiplying factor.

2x = YELLOW (+) BLUE (-)
3x = YELLOW (+) BROWN (-)
4x = GRAY (+) BROWN (-)


Connecting the ZERO autoformer at the speaker means the cable run will benefit from driving the lighter load as well. Driving less current through the speaker cables can be as significant of an improvement as a cable upgrade.

If you want to continue using a bi-wire speaker run, connect the ZERO autoformer directly to the amplifier. Then using one or two sets of binding posts, connect the WHITE (+) and BLACK (-) leads to the bi-wire speaker run.
