Checking and finalizing connections
Before plugging in the Acoustimass module, check all connections from the receiver to the
the module and the module to the small speakers (Figure 5 on page 8 and Figure 8).
• Make sure all cube speaker arrays are connected to the proper terminals according to their
position in your room.
• Check to be sure all wires are connected to your surround receiver with the proper polarity
(+ to + and – to – wires). Incorrect wiring can result in a total loss of module output.
• Correct any wiring problems before you plug in your receiver and turn it on.
When all the connections check out, plug the power cord from the Acoustimass module into
an AC (mains) outlet. Plug in the receiver also.
Note:
Bose recommends using a quality surge suppressor on all electronics equipment.
Voltage variations and spikes can damage electronic components in any system. Using a high-
quality suppressor (available at electronics stores) can eliminate the vast majority of failures
caused by a power surge.
