Setting Up
Connecting the speakers
CAUTION:
Never connect the cube speaker arrays directly to a receiver output. Always con-
nect them to the powered Acoustimass
®
module, then connect the module to the receiver.
CAUTION:
Never use broken or frayed wiring, which can result in electrical shock or damage
to your system. The supplied cables are not intended for in-wall installation. Check local
building codes or enlist a qualified installer.
Connecting front cube speaker arrays to the Acoustimass module
Three individual 20-foot (6.1m) speaker cables connect the center, right, and left front cube
speaker arrays to the Acoustimass module (Figure 5). Be sure to match the correct cable with
the corresponding speaker location. Front speaker cables have blue RCA connectors at one
end with
L
(left),
R
(right), or
C
(center) molded into the connectors. The other ends of the
cables have two wires. The red collars on the + wire are labeled
LEFT
,
RIGHT
, or
CENTER
.
Note:
The center rear cube speaker array is included with the Acoustimass 16 system or may
be added to an Acoustimass 15 Series II system. For upgrading information, see “Upgrading
your Acoustimass 15 Series II speaker system” on page 12.
