Speaker Wire and Stand Installation

Typically, the 3 meter speaker cables will connect the front and center satellites to the Decoder Amplifier and the 5 meter cables will connect the rear satellites to the Decoder Amplifier. A panel of twelve self-adhesive labels is provided to identify each satellite and subwoofer and the opposite end of the cable connected to a satellite and subwoofer.

1.Identify a 3 meter cable. Most often, a satellite will be used with a desktop stand. In this case, thread the bare wire end of a 3 meter cable through the hole in the desktop stand. Connect this end to a satellite (as shown in Diagram K). 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.To use this satellite in the front left position, remove the backing from the small, round “L” label and apply it to the back of the satellite (see Diagram K).

3.Remove the backing from the remaining, longer “L” label and wrap it around the opposite end of the speaker cable near the RCA-type plug.

4.Place the satellite in the front left position.

5.Repeat this process using another 3 meter cable for the front right satellite, using the “R” labels.

6.Connect another 3 meter cable to a satellite. Use the “C” (center) labels. If used, the Monitor Stand attaches to the satellite in the same manner as the Desktop Stands, although it does not have a hole for the speaker wire. Route the wire to the left or right side of the attachment strut. Position the satellite.

7.If you wish to use the Floor Stands with the rear satellites, assemble the stand according to Attaching The Floor Stand instructions on page 11. Use the RS and LS labels (right and left surround) and 5 meter cables.

8.Connect the subwoofer using the last 3 meter cable to the “SUB” labels.

Diagram K: To connect the speaker wire to each satellite, press one of the spring-loaded tabs 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 overall sound quality will be greatly reduced. You can substitute regular 18 gauge speaker wire to create longer cables, if needed.
