5 Way Binding

5-way binding post speaker terminals
5-way binding posts are a versatile type of terminal used for amplified, speaker-level signals, usually found on higher-quality speakers and receivers. This kind of terminal accepts 5 kinds of speaker wire connections: bare speaker wire, pin connectors, spade connectors, banana plugs, and dual banana plugs. Some binding post connectors aren't considered "5-way," because they don't accommodate every one of these connection types.
Each speaker (or each output channel on a receiver) uses a pair of binding posts for a single connection: one for the positive speaker lead (usually red), and one for the negative lead (usually black).
