Speaker cable connections to the cube speaker array

CAUTION:

Make sure no strands of wire from any terminal touch any other terminal. Bridged wires create short circuits that affect proper operation of your system.

Connect the speakers and music center

Once you have selected locations for your speakers and music center, connect the system.

Connecting the cube speaker arrays to the Acoustimass® module

Each speaker cable contains two wires. The wire marked with a red collar is positive (+) and the plain one is negative (–). These wires match the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals on the back of each speaker.

To lengthen the cable, use RCA extension cables or splice in 18-gauge or thicker cord (connecting + to + and – to –). To purchase cables, see your dealer, electronics store, or call Bose® customer service.

Note: The surround cables are joined together for your convenience, providing an easy-to- use cable for connecting the surround speakers. To run the cables in different directions from the Acoustimass module, simply pull apart the cables as needed.

1.Match the correct cable to the corresponding speaker location.

•Front speaker cables have blue connectors at one end, with L, R, and C molded into the connectors. The red collars on the + wire are labeled LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER.

•Surround speaker cables have orange connectors at one end, with L and R molded into the connectors. The red collars on the + wire are labeled LEFT and RIGHT.

2.Connect the wire end of one speaker cable to the terminals on the rear of the matching cube speaker array.

a. Push each of the two terminal tabs in, then insert the end of the appropriate wire into the exposed hole. Release the tab to secure the wire. Connect each wire to its corresponding terminal red to red (+ to +) and black to black (– to –).

b. Repeat this step for each of the five cube speaker arrays. (Figure 5.)

3.Connect each cable to the corresponding jack on the Acoustimass module.

a. Plug the blue connectors into the matching left front, center, and right front jacks.

b. Plug the orange connectors into the matching left surround and right surround jacks.

Connecting the Acoustimass module to the music center

Connect the module to the music center with the audio input cable (Figure 6).

1.Plug the small black multi-pin connector (flat side facing up) into the jack marked SPEAKER ZONE 1 on the back of the music center.

2.Insert the right-angle multi-pin connector on the other end of the audio input cable into the AUDIO INPUT jack on the module. Align the connector at the angle shown in Figure 6.

Note: Be sure that each connector is inserted completely into each jack.

3.Extend the audio input cable as much as possible, since it includes an antenna for the remote control.

For information on connecting zone 2, see “Using two listening zones” on pages 23-24.
