Connecting the speakers
CAUTION: Never connect the cube speakers directly to a receiver output. Always connect
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 build-
ing codes or enlist a qualified installer.
Connecting front cube speakers to the Acoustimass module
Three individual 20-foot (6.1 m) speaker cables connect the center, right, and left front cube
speakers 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.
