Product Information

Not that simple. As you’d expect, there are more bracing shelves with holes in – one beneath each of the drivers. Each shelf has a different number of ‘acoustically tuned’ holes to confine the midrange to a dedicated section of the cabinet – forming a damping brake at around 100Hz – while allowing the rest of the system to breathe and relax when delivering the lower bass notes. Helping facilitate this is a vertical tube that passes through a fourth bracing shelf just above the reflex port that vents into a small chamber containing a second reflex port tuned as a system to 24Hz. Since its start in 2014, his brand’s modest catalogue has been confined to the Red 100 and 50 standmounts and flagship 150 floorstander. These are now joined by the shorter, slimmer Red 120 before you. For music, the drum kit would be the ‘wrong way round.’ Any sound effects or instruments placed on the left would appear on the right – and vice versa. So, if you don’t want to use bare wire, spade connectors will connect at a 45 or 90-degree angle allowing the wire to drop straight down.

You can use bare wire or pin connectors with this type of connection. Speaker Wire Termination Types

Running the auto room configuration on your AV receiver will send a test signal to each speaker. So, you will soon find out if you connected the correct speakers to the amplifier’s rear. In this case, you wire one speaker from positive to positive and negative to negative. But the other is wired incorrectly from negative to positive and positive to negative.

Some people like to solder the wire to the plug to create a more robust connection – even if it is a screw-in model. You can if you wish, but you don’t have to. A speaker wire consists of two separate cables that connect to the positive and negative connectors on the amplifier and speaker. You don’t need to worry about how you connect the wires – even if they have plus and minus markings. Out of phase – Speakers wired differently. One positive to positive, and negative to negative. But the other, positive to negative and negative to positive. There is no effect if you reverse the positive and negative wires for a single speaker. Negative to positive and positive to negative from the amplifier to a single speaker.After a few moments of head scratching, the solution was to press a volume button on my phone (on the left upper side of my S6) and the icon was gone.

On the acoustical side of things my main concern with a small speaker is that when a guitar note is played, so often do you only hear the top half of the note, the decay can be missed, the note sounds too sharp and the instruments cabinet resonance is non existent. Russell K’s Red 50 do not suffer from this issue, yes it can be done more effectively with a speaker of a larger scale but from a cabinet of this size and again I reflect on the price tag, the Red 50 holds it head up high without a smug grin, just a look of confidence in their abilities to outperform some of the serious competition in today’s extremely competitive market. The NS3 speakers aren't just flexible, they happen to sound good, too. Soft dome tweeters provide a smooth yet detailed treble response, while long-throw Kevlar woofer units create a natural mid-range and offer a surprisingly powerful bass response. The bass is further reinforced by the rear-ported cabinet design. Finally, the cabinet is constructed from superior grade MDF with smooth edges for excellent stereo sound. Many come with screw-in connections that just need to be secured to the cable with a small screwdriver, which is one of the easiest methods. You may find some banana plugs that connect to the wire in a slightly different way to this, but the general idea is the same.Now that you know what type of connections you have for your speaker wire, you can decide how to terminate the ends. Since 1965 the Red Arrows, known as The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, have been displaying the most daring aerobatic manoeuvres. Considered the World’s premier aerobatic display team, they have flown 5000 displays in 57 different countries, attracting billions of views on their tours. The beauty of this album (and one of the main reasons why I love early 90s music) is that it was recorded before auto-tune was invented, so little tweaking has been done to their vocals; the recordings sound much more natural and less computerised/edited. These are great albums to use when testing out Hi-Fi gear; it will really show the system’s capability in playing the true sound of the music.
