Setting Up
Connect the speakers
The supplied cables make it easy for you to connect your system. The connections at the
Acoustimass
®
module are already made for you. There are three sets of cables, joined
together to form ribbons, which may be separated or “unzipped” as much as needed to
comfortably reach the speakers (Figure 7). Separate the cables as you are laying out the
cable lengths.
• The 20 foot (6 m) cable with three pairs of wires connects the Acoustimass module to the
center, left, and right front cube speakers.
• The 50 foot (15 m) cable with two pairs of wires connects the Acoustimass module to the
left and right surround cube speakers.
• The 20 foot (6 m) cable with five pairs of wires connects the Acoustimass module to the
outputs on the receiver. Separate these wires just enough to reach the connectors.
Use the cable correctly
Each cable consists of insulated wire pairs attached to colored RCA connectors. The colors
match the connector terminals on the cube speakers and are embossed with L, R, C, LS,
and RS. The connectors have locating pins that assist you in making the correct connec-
tions (Figure 8).
• The black connector marked L goes to the left front speaker.
• The gray connector marked C goes to the center speaker.
• The black connector marked R goes to the right front speaker.
• The gray connector marked LS goes to the left surround speaker.
• The gray connector marked RS goes to the right surround speaker.
Note:
Do not attempt to splice cables. Do not use standard RCA cables to lengthen any of
the supplied cables. Call Bose
®
customer service for cables specifically designed for this
purpose (Part Number 187092). See the customer service numbers inside the back cover.

Separating cables
CAUTION:
Before making any connec-
tions turn off your receiver or
amplifier and unplug it from
the outlet (AC power mains).
Not doing so may result in
damage to your system.
Never connect the cubes
directly to an receiver output.
Always connect the cube
speakers to the Acoustimass
module, then connect the
Acoustimass module to the
receiver.
Never use broken or frayed
wiring, which can result in
electrical shock or damage
to your system.
The supplied cables are not
intended for in-wall installa-
tion. Check local building
codes or enlist a qualified
installer.
