Speaker Connections.

[sirus420]

Hi everyone.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but i need some help.

I have an all in one Home Cinema, you know, the ones with a built in DVD Player, now, the problem is, the center speaker isn't magnetically shielded, so im looking at buying a new center speaker to sit ontop of my TV, and i found this one....

It seems good for that price, however, i have no idea what connections it uses, i've looked for pictures of how my current speakers connect to my DVD Player, and heres the best i could find....

See the red and black parts? its identical to them, so would that Center Speaker use the same connections?

And one last thing, if the speaker uses the same connections, would it be a good one to buy? i dont want it to sound rubbish.

Thanks for your time.

And i apologise if im not allowed to post links to them sites, if im not then just tell me and i'll edit them.

What's your all-in-one?

Unless its an expensive one then the eltax will be fine. It'll use either speaker clips or binding posts (a red and a black of each - very easy to connect)

Thanks for the reply.

It wasn't an expensive one, just a basic one to get me started in 5.1, it does its job though.

I take it Speaker Clips are what goes into them sockets on the picture i posted? but what are Binding Posts?

Thanks.

The system is a Bush DVDAV11 if thats any help.

Binding posts are like speaker clips, but they are like a cylinder with a cap on it.. They allow speaker cable terminating plugs to be used (banana plugs) - but you can still use bare wire with them.

The guys in richersounds will explain all - it's very obvious though
