1. From both ends of each
speaker wire, pull off and
discard the precut strips of
insulation, revealing the
bare wires.
2. Twist the individual strands
of bare wire tightly
together so that there are no
free strands that could short
across the speaker or
amplifier terminals.
3. To connect the speaker wires
to the spring-loaded
connectors on the satellites
Satellite Connection
and subwoofer, push back
on the spring-loaded tab to
expose the connection hole
4. Note the red band around
the lead with the copper wire
at each end of each speaker
cable. This will help you
connect speakers “in phase.”
5. Insert the bare end of the
wire into the exposed hole,
then release the tab to lock
the wire in place.
Connect the red (+) and black
(–) terminals on the subwoofer to
their red and black counterparts
on the cube speakers. Use the
leads with the red bands for
interconnecting the red
terminals, and the unmarked
leads for the black terminals.
Connecting the two cubes
identically assures that they
operate “in phase” (their cones
move in and out together).
“Out-of-phase” connections can
muddy the stereo effect. Solo
voices, which should appear to
come from a point between the
two cubes, will sound “split”
between them.
The satellite amplifiers inside
the subwoofer are specifically
designed to drive the satellites.
Do not connect these left and
right amplifier outputs to any
other speakers or any kind of
signal processing device.
You can splice more standard
speaker wire or regular 18-gauge
lamp cord onto the 9-ft. speaker
wires supplied using wire nuts.

Cambridge Soundworks Audio/
Video Consultant at 1-800-YES-
HIFI to purchase additional wire.
