Satellite Connections

Typically, the 3 meter speaker cables will connect the front satellites to the subwoofer and the 5 meter cables will connect the rear satellites to the subwoofer.

Apanel of eight self-adhesive labels is provided to identify each satellite and the opposite end of the cable connected to a satellite.

1.Identify the two 3 meter cables. Most satellites will be used with their desktop stands. In this case, thread one end of a 3 meter cable through the hole in the desktop stand. Connect this end to one satellite, (as shown in diagram E). If used, carefully insert the desktop stand’s attachment arm into the socket in the back of the satellite, taking up any slack in the cable as required.

2.Remove the backing from the small, round “FRONT LEFT” label and apply it to the back of the satellite (see diagram E).

3.Remove the backing from the remaining, longer “FRONT LEFT” label and wrap it around the opposite end of the speaker cable you just connected.

4.Connect this end of the speaker cable to the red and black “FRONT LEFT” speaker connectors on the subwoofer.

5.Repeat this process for the Front Right, Rear Right and Rear Left satellites. Be sure to use the remaining 3 meter cable for the other front speaker.

To connect the speaker wires to the spring loaded connectors on the satellite and subwoofer, push back on a spring-loaded tab to expose the connection hole. Insert the bare end of the wire into the exposed hole, then release the tab to lock the wire in place.

Connect wires with red bands to red tab connectors and unmarked wires to black tab connectors.

Notes: Matching red wires to red tabs and unmarked wires to black tabs insures the speakers all play “in-phase”. “Out of phase” connections will do no electrical harm, but the positional audio sound quality will be greatly reduced. You can substitute regular 18 gauge speaker wire to create longer cables, if needed.
