Connecting single cube or cube array speakers
These speakers feature red and white connection terminals on the back of each speaker. Be
sure to match the red-collared wire to the red terminal, to maintain positive-to-positive (+ to
+) connections.
Use the supplied 20-ft (6.1 m) cables for the three front speakers.
Use the supplied 50-ft (15.2 m) cables for the speakers at the rear of your room. !
After running these cables to the rear of your room, you can pull them apart to reach each
of the rear speakers.
To make the connections:
1. Notice a label on each red-collared wire that matches it to the proper speaker (Figure 9a).
L for the speaker at the left front LR for the speaker at the left rear

Connecting the speakers to the module
You may find it convenient to temporarily turn the module upside down while making these
connections. Then, be sure to place the module on its side or bottom surface when the !
connections are completed.
CAUTION:
Before you make these connections, be sure that the media center and the
Acoustimass module are NOT yet connected to an AC (mains) power outlet.
To make these connections:
1. Use the colors and labels on the RCA connectors at the free end of each speaker cable
as guides in connecting to the module. For a color reference, you may want to use the
Quick Setup Guide provided in the carton.
