Warning About Excessive Amplifier Distortion

Operating a receiver (of any power rating) beyond its

maximum undistorted output level creates distortion –

added high frequency sound not part of the musical

program. Distortion dramatically increases the internal

operating temperature of a speaker and will eventually

cause the speaker’s failure due to burned or melted

internal parts. While Cambridge SoundWorks includes

the most heat-tolerant parts commensurate with good

acoustic design, the speaker’s Limited Warranty

against defects in materials or workmanship does not

apply to parts that fail from long-term operation at very

high temperatures.

Enclosure Cleaning

The speaker enclosures can be cleaned with a 

damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid spraying any cleaner 

on the grille panels.

Periodic use of cleaners specifically designed for

wood veneers is recommended for Mahogany and

Blonde Maple finishes.

Brush or vacuum the grille panels if dust accumulates 

on them.

M50:

Dimensions: 10" H x 6 3/4" W x 7 1 /4" D

Weight: 11 pounds each

Impedance: nominal 8 ohms

The M50 can be safely used with any receiver rated

above 10 watts per channel. There is little advantage

in using more power than 100 watts per speaker, but a

receiver above this power rating can be used so long

as the receiver is not operated at distorted levels.

M60:

Dimensions: 13 1/4" H x 8 1/4" W x 9 1/4" D

Weight: 14 pounds each

Impedance: nominal 8 ohms

The M60 can be safely used with any receiver rated

above 20 watts per channel. There is little advantage

in using more power than 100 watts per speaker, but a

receiver above this power rating can be used so long

as the receiver is not operated at distorted levels.

M80:

Dimensions: 18" H x 10" W x 10 1/4" D

Weight: 28 pounds each

Impedance: nominal 8 ohms

The M80 can be safely used with any receiver rated

above 30 watts per channel. There is little advantage

in using more power than 150 watts per speaker, but a

receiver above this power rating can be used so long

as the receiver is not operated at distorted levels.
