Bose 10.2 Series II Owner's guide - Page 4

PLEASE

NOTE:

The

Acoustimass

speaker

technology

used

in

the

10.2

Series

II

system

significantly

reduces

audi-

ble

distortion.

Because

of

this,

you

may

be

less

likely

to

notice

the

distinctive

distorted

sounds

produced

when

a

speaker

is

driven

beyond

its

limits.

Exercise

cau-

tion

when

playing

the

10.2

Series

II

system

at

high

volume

levels.

Connecting

the

Bose

Series

II

Speaker

System

We

recommend

using

standard

zipcord,

the

wire

most

commonly

carried

by

audio

dealers

and

electrical

stores.

The

table

below

shows

some

typical

wire

responding

should

be

A.

Measure

the

amount

of

wire

required

for

each

speaker

and

cut

it

accord-

ingly.

If

possible,

try

to

maintain

roughly

the

same

amount

of

wire

on

both

speakers.

B.

Slightly

separate

the

conductors

at

the

end

of

each

wire.

Strip

off

approxi-

mately

y2

inch

(12

mm)

of

insulation

from

each

conductor.

C.

Examine

the

wire

ends

carefully.

There

will

be

some

visible

difference

between

the

two

conductors.

If

the

wire

is

clear,

one

side

may

be

silver

and

the

other

copper.

Or,

if

the

wire

is

not

color

coded,

then

one

side

will

be

ribbed

or

striped.

In

any

event,

con-

sider

the

ribbed,

striped,

or

cop-

per

side

to

be

positive(

+

).

The

remaining

side

(plain,

smooth,

or

silver)

is

negative(

—

).

D.

Locate

the

speaker

terminals

on

the

back

of

the

Part

1

(left)

speaker.

Con-

nect

the

positive

side

of

the

wire

to

the

(

+)

red

terminal,

and

the

negative

side

of

the

wire

to

the(

-)

black

terminal.

Refer

to

Figure

2.

E.

Next,

make

sure

your

receiver

or

amplifier

is

switched

"off"

and

unplugged.

Connect

the

other

end

of

the

wire

to

the

terminals

marked

"left"
