Five

easy

steps

to

superb

sound

Caution:

Be

sure

to

unplug

your

receiver

or

amplifier

from

the

wall

outlet

before

attempting

to

connect

the

Acoustimass'-5

system

to

it.

Set

up

the

system

components.

(Figure

1)

Select

the

location

for

each

of

your

Acoustimass

system

components.

Place

the

Acoustimass

module

virtually

anywhere

in

your

listening

room,

in

either

a

vertical

or

horizontal

position

(once

this

is

determined,

the

protective

rubber

feet

may

be

applied

to

the

"bottom"

of

the

module).

It

can

be

hidden

under

a

bed

or

table

or

even

behind

a

sofa.

as

long

as

you

remember

not

to

block

the

round

opening

in

the

end

of

the

unit

(allow

at

least

2

in.

or

5

cm

of

space

between

that

end

and

any

surface.)

Next,

select

the

positions

for

the

left

and

right

cube

arrays.

Remember

that

wires

from

the

arrays

connect

to

the

Acoustimass

module,

so

you

should

locate

the

cube

arrays

close

enough

to

the

module

to

enable

the

wires

to

reach

it.

Note:

While

the

wires

provided

are

adequate

for

most

installations,

you

may

increase

the

distance

between

the

cube

arrays

and

the

Acoustimass

module

by

splicing

in

additional

wire.

If

you

do

so,

use

similar

gauge

or

thicker

wire,

and

make

sure

you

maintain

the

correct

phase

("+"

to

"+"

and

"—"

to

--"),

and

properly

connect

the

wires.

2

Examine

the

cables

and

connections.

Locate

the

four

identical

sets

of

wires

packed

with

the

system.

Two

sets

will

connect

your

cube

arrays

to

the

Acoustimass

module,

while

the

other

two

sets

will

connect

the

Acoustimass

module

your

receiver

or

amplifier.

Examine

the

ends

of

the

wires

for

each

set,

and

make

sure

that

you

connect

the

wire

with

a

red

or

striped

marker

to

the

"+"

terminal

for

each

COnneC-

tion.

3

Connect

the

cube

arrays

to

the

Acoustimass

module.

Select

one

pair

of

connector

wires,

and

locate

the

terminals

on

the

rear

of

the

left

cube

array.

Depress

the

red

("+")

tab,

insert

the

lead

with

the

red

or

striped

marker

(Figure

2)

and

release

the

tab.

The

lead

should

be

held

snugly

in

place

by

the

terminal.

Repeat

the

process

for

the

black

terminal

and

the

other

lead.

Follow

the

same

procedure

for

the

right

cube

array,

using

a

second

pair

of

wires.
