System Installation Instructions

Connecting the speakers to the Acoustimass

module

Note:

Before you start making system connections, make sure that the media center, the

Acoustimass module, and any additional equipment are not connected to AC power.

The ﬁve dual-cube speakers that come with your system will either have a two-wire cable

connector (Figure 7) or a plug-in cable connector (Figure 8 on page 12). Identify your type of

speaker and then follow the corresponding instructions.

Note:

To lengthen the speaker cables, use heavy-duty RCA extension cables, or splice in 18-

gauge or thicker cord (connecting + to + and – to –). To purchase extension cables, see your

dealer or electronics store, or call Bose

customer service. Refer to the Bose address list

included with your system.

Making a two-wire speaker connection

In a two-wire connection (Figure 7), the wire marked with a red collar is positive (+) and the

plain one is negative (–). These wires match the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals

on the back of each speaker.

Note:

The surround speaker cables are joined together for your convenience, providing an

easy-to-use cable for connecting the surround speakers. To run the cables in different direc-

tions from the Acoustimass module, simply pull apart the cables as needed.

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 con-

nectors. The red collars on the + wire are labeled LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER. Surround

speaker cables have orange connectors at one end, with L (left) or R (right) molded into

the connectors. The red collars on the + wire are labeled LEFT and 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 marked 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 9on

page 12). 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.
