[Help with testing AR1]

Hello Joe,

To check for operation, connect your speaker wire to terminals 1 and 3. Normally, there would be a jumper between terminals 1 and 2 for 4-ohm operation, without the jumper, the speaker is 8 ohms, which is likely better suited to your Pioneer receiver.

 

 

Thank you very much, I was able to test them and they work great.  I really appreciate your help.  Now I need to look into shipping methods and practices for something like these. 

Regards,

Joe

[Help with testing AR1]

Hello, I have two AR1/AR-1 speakers that I would like to test and find out if they work.  They have not been used in probably 40 years (I'm 78).  Attached is a photo of the back of the speakerboxes, and I honestly forget which terminals are which.  Home audio is not my specialty, and I've had these for a long time. 

I'll be using a 30watt output Pioneer receiver.  Other than the wire configuration, please let me know if there are other tips or tricks I should know as I test them.  Thanks so much for any help you can give.

Regards,

Joe
