RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference. HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the subwoofer and in the operating instructions should be adhered to. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use instructions should be followed. CLEANING - Unplug the subwoofer from the wall outlet or other power source before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks as they may cause hazards. WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use the subwoofer near water--for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like. ACCESSORIES - Do not place the SoundWorks system on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The subwoofer or satellites may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the satellites or subwoofer should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the subwoofer and to prevent it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The subwoofer should not be placed in a builtin installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or Cambridge SoundWorks' instructions have been adhered to. HEAT - The subwoofer should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, and other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat. POWER SOURCES - The subwoofer should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. POLARIZATION - The subwoofer may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the subwoofer. LIGHTNING - For added protection for the SoundWorks system during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the subwoofer due to lightning and power-line surges. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects of any kind into the subwoofer through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the subwoofer. SERVICING - Do not attempt to service the subwoofer yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug the subwoofer from the wall outlet or other power source and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the subwoofer. c) If the subwoofer has been exposed to rain or water. d) If the subwoofer does not operate normally by following the operating instructions; or exhibits a distinct change in performance. e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way. REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by Cambridge SoundWorks or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service or repairs to the SoundWorks system, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the SoundWorks system is in proper operating condition. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING - The SoundWorks satellites should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks. ii Introduction T hank you for choosing SoundWorks® by Henry Kloss. We think you'll find its sound quality astonishing, whether you connect it to your computer or use it as a stand-alone music system. To create a so-called "multimedia" speaker, many manufacturers just add some magnetic shielding and a new nameplate to an existing model. At Cambridge SoundWorks, we started with the assumption that computer users care no less about sound quality than music lovers. We have developed a totally new system, lavishing as much effort on its design as on that of our costliest Ensemble® speakers. Thus SoundWorks far outstrips most boom boxes and "rack" audio systems, let alone the typical "multimedia" speaker.

If there is any, do not install or use the system. For advice, call the store where you made your purchase. All the items shown in the illustration below should be included with your system. If anything is missing, contact the retailer where it was purchased. Save the carton and its inserts in case you need to ship or move your SoundWorks system later. Getting Started One of the first steps in setting up SoundWorks is connecting the small "cube" satellite speakers to the subwoofer (see next page). Therefore, before anything else, prepare their connecting wires as shown. speaker cable, 1 Fromoffboth ends of eachpre-cut strips of pull and discard the insulation, revealing the bare wires. strands 2 Twist the individualthere are of bared wire tightly together so no free strands that could short across the speaker or amplifier terminals.

Use the leads with the red bands for interconnecting the red terminals, and the unmarked leads for the black terminals. Note: Connecting the two cubes identically assures that they operate "in phase" (their cones move in and out together). "Out of phase" connections can muddy the stereo effect. Solo voices, should appear to come from a point between the two cubes, which will sound "split" between them.

Right Satellite Cube ­ CAMBRIDGE SoundWorks Notes The satellite amplifiers inside the SoundWorks subwoofer are specifically designed to drive the SoundWorks cube satellites. Do not connect these left and right amplifier outputs to any other speakers or any kind of signal processing device. To lengthen the satellite speaker wires, you can add additional speaker wire using wire nuts or substitute longer lengths of 18 gauge speaker wire. + 3 Program Source Connections Connect the Volume Control's FROM SOURCE lead to the audio output of your computer or other program source. Connect the TO SUB lead to the Audio Input of SoundWorks' subwoofer as shown. The control can be mounted on the side of your computer monitor or other surface using the adhesive strip provided (see opposite page). If the program source has its own level control, set it at least half-way up, and then use the Volume Control to achieve your preferred playback level. If there's audible hum or hiss, or if the Volume Control adjustment range is unsatisfactory, readjust the program source's level control up or down (and the Volume Control accordingly). Computer CPU/ program source Avoid using this kind of output.

ONLY after making all other connections, connect the 12 VDC power supply to SoundWorks. 6 Attaching The Stands For most applications, the cube speakers should be attached to their stands. Install each stand by inserting it into the slot in the back of each satellite cube. CAMBRIDGE SoundWorks ­ + 7 Important ­ Please Read Before Operating Your SoundWorks Playback Levels SoundWorks is intended for individual or small group listening, not to fill a large room for hours on end with loud dance music. In fact, playing the system continuously at overly loud, distorted levels on program material may cause its internal fuse to blow after an hour or two. The fuse can be replaced only by a qualified representative. To avoid this inconvenience and a possible non-warranty repair charge, reduce the playback volume when the system shows obvious signs of stress, i.e. it sounds "raspy," "fuzzy," and/or "muddy." Controlling Background Noise and Distortion Due to SoundWorks' high input sensitivity (only .18 V RMS for rated output), some signal sources will send audible levels of background hum and hiss through to SoundWorks. If hum or hiss is heard from SoundWorks and if the signal source has its own volume control capability (on-screen control for a computer or variable audio output for a TV or CD/tape player), use one of the following two approaches: 1. Reduce the setting of the Volume Control until hum or hiss is reduced to an unnoticeable level. Use the signal source to control the output level. 2. Set the signal source's volume control to a high setting (70% or higher) and use the Volume Control to vary output. Some PC sound boards have an output control on the card. Trial and error may be necessary to achieve the right setting of this control. Too low a setting could cause background noise. Too high a setting may cause distortion. Keep in mind, SoundWorks has sonic fidelity sufficient to reveal noise and distortion inherent in some digital sound processers. You may not have noticed these imperfections before. Background noise present in a few, fixed-level signal sources may be audible when the Volume Control is set to a high level and program material is silent or playing at a low level. This behavior is intrinsic to the fixed-level signal source and is not the fault of SoundWorks. 8 SoundWorks With A Computer Place the cubes, which are magnetically shielded, on the small stands to either side of the monitor, aimed straight ahead. Do not angle them inward to fire directly at you (see text). The cubes may also be attached to the sides of the monitor with the "hook & loop" strips provided (instructions on page 12). Place the subwoofer on the floor under your desk or workstation, back against the wall. Do not place it up on the work surface or a shelf, which could result in disappointing bass performance (see text to the right). The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded, and must be at least 18 inches from the monitor to prevent distortion of the picture. · Have a clear line of sight from your listening position to the cubes. · The ear cannot localize low-bass, which is why the subwoofer can go on the floor, out of sight. The bass port (the hole above the control panel) must be at least 2 inches from the nearest surface. · If you can't place the woofer on the floor against a wall as shown, the Bass Level control will compensate. Try turning it up if you place the subwoofer up on a shelf, away from the acoustic support that the floor and wall give low-bass. · On the other hand, if the subwoofer sits in a corner on the floor, it may sound bass-heavy. In this case try turning the Bass Level control down. · Set the Bass Level control for best bass balance, then forget it. It is not intended to be adjusted regularly to compensate for differences in recordings. 9 SoundWorks As A Music System · Have a clear line of sight from your listening position to the cubes. · The further away the cubes, the less critical their height. Try them down on the floor, up near the ceiling, or anywhere in between. If they are close to you, however, it's best to have them at ear level. · Use your imagination and try different locations for the cubes-- on window sills for example, or on a mantelpiece as shown. They can also be easily wall mounted (see page 12). · The ear cannot localize low-bass, so the subwoofer does not have to be very close to the satellites. It can even be hidden by furniture. The bass port (the hole above the control panel) must be at least 2 inches from any surface. · If you can't place the subwoofer on the floor against a wall, the Bass Level control will compensate. Try turning it up if you place the subwoofer up on a shelf, and/or out from the wall. · On the other hand, if the subwoofer sits in a corner on the floor, it may sound bass-heavy. In this case, try turning the Bass Level control down. · Set the Bass Level control for best bass balance, then forget it. It is not intended to be adjusted regularly to compensate for differences in recordings. MOZ Sym No. phonies 39 & 41 ART Place the subwoofer on the floor against a wall (surfaces that acoustically support the bass). Placing it out from the wall and/or up on a shelf could result in disappointing bass performance (see text). For recorded performers to appear "on stage" in front of you, place the cubes to form a roughly equal-sided triangle with your favorite listening position. But by all means, take advantage of their tiny size, and experiment liberally with their placement (see text for suggestions). 10 SoundWorks With A TV Set · To use SoundWorks with a stereo TV, the set must have a volume-controlled audio signal output. This kind of audio signal output retains a TV remote's ability to control the overall sound level. Typically, this will be either left and right RCA jacks or a headphone output. · If your set's stereo audio outputs are a pair of separate jacks rather than a single stereo headphone jack, call the store where purchased or call a Cambridge SoundWorks Audio/Video Consultant at 1-877-YES-HIFI to purchase the adapters you'll need to add to the Volume Control cable supplied with your SoundWorks system. · Switch off the TV's internal speakers (some sets do so automatically when you connect an external audio system). · The ear cannot localize low-bass, so the subwoofer does not have to be close to the cubes, and can be hidden by furniture. The bass port (the hole above the control panel) must be at least 2 inches from the nearest surface, however. · If you can't place the subwoofer on the floor against a wall, the Bass Level control will compensate. Try turning it up if you place the subwoofer up on a shelf, and/ or out from the wall. · On the other hand, if the subwoofer sits in a corner on the floor, it may sound bass-heavy. In this case, try turning the Bass Level control down. · Set the Bass Level control for best bass balance, then forget it. It is not intended to be adjusted regularly to compensate for differences in recordings and broadcasts. · If what SoundWorks does for your TV starts you thinking about a full-blown "home theater" with Dolby® Surround sound, call a Cambridge SoundWorks Audio/ Video Consultant for further information. Place the subwoofer on the floor against a wall (surfaces that acoustically support the bass). Placing it out from the wall and/or up on a shelf could result in disappointing bass performance (see text to the right). The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded, and must be at least 18 inches from the TV to prevent picture distortion. The cubes are magnetically shielded, and therefore, can be placed close to your TV if necessary. Placing them too far apart can keep dialogue from sounding like it's coming from the screen. (Wall-mounting instructions are on the next page). 11 Mounting The Cubes To the monitor: 1. Each cube requires two "hook & loop" strip pairs for stable mounting. Do not peel apart the mated hook & loop pairs before attaching them. This ensures proper alignment. 2. Be sure the surfaces to which you attach the strips--including the cubes--are clean. 3. Peel off just one paper cover from one of the mated hook & loop pairs. Press the adhesive side firmly into place at the top of the proper surface of the cube. Repeat for a second mated pair, attaching it to the side of the cube down near the bottom. 4. Remove the remaining paper covers from each mated hook & loop pair and press the cube firmly against the side of the monitor. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other cube. 6. You can detach the cubes from the monitor at any time (the "tearing" sound is normal). To reattach a cube, don't press it straight against the strips on the monitor, but rather at a slight angle so that the tiny hooks on one surface can engage the loops on the other. It may be necessary to "wiggle" the cube a bit as you press it into place). To the wall: To wall-mount the cubes on structurally strong surfaces (a wall stud or wood panelling), screw the No. 10 screws into the material. Allow their heads to protrude about 1/4 inch to fit into the keyhole slots on the back of each cube (as shown below). The plastic anchors supplied will be needed to secure the screws in most wall surfaces. If so, drill 1/4 inch holes in the wall, then tap the anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall. Then screw the screws into the anchors until they protrude about 1/4 inch. Be sure to apply the stick-on rubber feet to the back of the satellite cubes. This assures an acoustically secure installation.
