Introduction T frequency unit provide far greater placement flexibility than conventional speakers. Place them casually, and chances are Model Twelve will sound good. But take the time to experiment with speaker placement and Model Twelve can sound astonishing–as good or better than far larger and more elaborate systems. Speaker placement can make that much difference.
Unpacking And Checking For Shipping Damage 1. If you suspect that your Model Twelve has been damaged in shipping, do not connect and use the unit. Call us right away for advice, and be sure not to discard any packing materials in case the unit has to be returned. 2. To open Model Twelve, place it on a flat surface with its round bass speaker grille facing downwards. Press down firmly on a corner of the case near either latch and flip up the latch; repeat for the other latch. Open the lid. 3.
Connections 1. Power connection. Model Twelve’s amplifier operates from a 12-14 volt DC source. A plug-in adapter for use with 120 V, 60 Hz AC household current is supplied. Also, a connecting cable for powering the amplifier from a vehicle’s 12 VDC, negative ground electrical system, is supplied (See diagram at right). To prevent damage to the amplifier, do not connect Model Twelve to any other power source without first calling Cambridge SoundWorks for advice (1-877-YES-HIFI).
As shown in the diagram at right, connect one end of the unattached speaker wire to the speaker terminals on the side of the BassCase and the other to the amplifier’s Bass Out terminals. Attach the leads with the red tabs to the “+” terminals and the unmarked lead to the “–” terminals. Left satellite speaker wire To connect satellite speaker wires to amplifier, push back on spring- loaded tab above or beneath each connector, insert bared end of wire, then release tab to lock wire in place.
Controls 1. Front panel controls. The front panel controls (shown below) operate like a typical stereo system. The Bass and Treble controls operate only at the frequency extremes to prevent midrange coloration. Select program source. Adjust volume. Source: hear source selected using knob at far left. Tape: hear tape while recording with 3-head deck (selected program still fed to recorder).
Speaker Placement To take full advantage of Model Twelve’s unique design, experiment with speaker placement. Satellites 1. Good stereo sound places the performers on a sound “stage” across from the listening area. With Model Twelve, that stage is best set by placing the satellites to form an approximately equal-sided triangle with the listening position at the apex.
