B or C: Making two-wire connections for cube or cube array speakers
The 50-foot (15.2-meter) cables, intended for use with the surround speakers, are joined
together for easier handling. As needed, simply pull the cables apart to run them in different
directions around your room.
Notice the marks on each cable wire. The one marked with a red collar is positive (+) and the
plain one is negative (–) to guide you in connecting them to the positive (red) and negative
(black) terminals on the back of each speaker.
1. Match the correct cable to the corresponding speaker location:
• Front speaker cables have blue connectors at one end, with L (left), R (right), or
C (center) molded into the connectors. A red collar on each + wire is labeled LEFT,
RIGHT, or CENTER.
• Surround speaker cables have orange connectors at one end, with L (left) or R (right)
molded into the connectors. A red collar on each + wire is labeled LEFT or RIGHT.
2. Connect the wire end of one speaker cable to the terminals on the rear of the matching
speaker:
• Press the terminal tab on the back of the speaker and insert the red collared wire (+)
into the red terminal and the plain wire (±) into the black terminal.
• Release the tab to secure the wire. Repeat this step for each of the five speakers.

3. Connect each cable to the corresponding jack on the Acoustimass

module (Figure 10).
Connect the cables from each speaker to the module
• Plug the blue connectors into the matching left front, center, and right front jacks.
• Plug the orange connectors into the matching left surround and right surround jacks.
To lengthen speaker cables, as needed, use heavy-duty RCA extension cables or splice in
18-gauge or thicker cord (connecting + to + and – to –).
