Concept C 100 / 200
Connecting the Concept C 100
Analogue connection to a stereo source
Computer sound card, MP3 player, satellite re-
ceiver, TV set, games console, CD player, DJ mixer,
Discman, Walkman and much more.
The Concept C 100 is perfect for direct connec-
tion to any common music playback device that
has one or two analogue audio outputs. These are
usually a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack socket or two
cinch sockets (“line out left/right”).
The outputs are directly connected to the stereo
line in left/right on the subwoofer using the ste-
reo cinch cable. The Y-adapter cable (mini-jack on
stereo cinch) can also be used for appliances with
mini-jack outputs (e.g. sound cards).
To guarantee that all of the functions of the ta-
ble remote control supplied work correctly, the
“Mic Out” output on the back of the subwoofer
must be connected to the microphone input on
the PC. A standard 3,5 mm jack cable is used for
this purpose. Without this connection, nearly all
of the functions of the table remote control (see
page 10) can still be used independently. Only the
integrated Microphone input (“MIC”) will not
work.
Connecting the satellites
The two satellites are connected directly to the
screw grips on the subwoofer with the cable clips
provided, using a speaker cable. Strip and split the
ends of the speaker cable as shown. Speakers and
amplifiers have corresponding [+] and [–] clamps.
The individual strands of a speaker cable are nor-
mally clearly colour coded. It is important to ob-
serve the correct polarity when connecting the
speakers: the plus pole of the speaker connects to
the plus pole of the amplifier and the minus pole
of the speaker to the minus pole of the amplifier.
Connecting the cables with the incorrect phases
can result in thin sound, weak bass and reduced
stereo characteristics. Therefore it is important
that all speakers are connected with the correct
polarity in order to ensure an appropriate three-
dimensional atmosphere and correct alignment
of the sound.
