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.
