Warning: If using spikes make sure that they do not pierce

mains cables etc. under/above the carpet. Do not connect your loudspeakers to the mains supply, except for subwoofers. When making any connections, switch your amplifier off. Do not attempt to dismantle the loudspeaker. There are no user serviceable parts inside and you will render the warranty void. When you switch on your system or change sources, set the volume control at minimum and turn the level up gradually. Position hi-fi electronics away from the loudspeakers on a rigid stand or cabinet. Do not use your amplifier at full volume. Avoid extreme settings of tone controls or graphic equalisers. Ideally, they should be set ‘flat’ or, if possible, bypassed. Ensure that all loudspeakers in the system are correctly wired and are in phase. Do not place objects on top of loudspeakers. Do not subject your loudspeakers to excessive cold, heat, humidity or sunlight. Loudspeakers should not share the same shelf or cabinet as other hi-fi electronics. Use only the stand or bracket specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. Retain all packaging materials so that your loudspeaker can be repacked and shipped without damage. The apparatus must not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus. Some manufacturers forbid the placing of objects on top of their TV sets. Check your TV handbook before installing the centre speaker directly on your TV set. Consult your TV dealer if you are in any doubt. When an amplifier is driven beyond its power output capabilities it will produce distortion which will quickly damage your speakers by overheating. Make sure that your amplifier is not left unattended when playing, for example at parties, and turn the volume control down at the first sign of audible distortion.

Retain all packing materials so that the product can be repacked and shipped without damage. 2-3 Mounting the M-Cube satellite to the wall Offer the mounting bracket to the wall and mark the positions for 2 mounting points. Having selected fixings appropriate to the mounting surface, drill 2 holes to accommodate the fixings. Attach the wall bracket to the mounting bracket by sliding down vertically. Loosen the locking mechanism screw using the Allen key provided. Set the pitch of the wall bracket arm as desired, and re-tighten the locking mechanism screw. Attach the satellite and connector to the wall bracket using the M6 screw provided. Before tightening fully, swivel the satellite to the desired angle. Attach the mounting bracket to the wall using appropriate countersunk screws (not supplied). Screws/fixings not supplied Note that the connector between the satellite and bracket has a locating device that will only fit one way. Mounting the M-Cube satellite to the floorstand Attach the stand base to the pole. Connect securely by using the M3 screw provided. Pass the speaker cable through the stand base. Then, attach the spikes and locking nuts to the stand base, using the appropriate end of the spikes for your flooring. Thread the speaker cable through the bung and then slot the bung into the stand. Screw the stand connector into the satellite using the long M6 screw provided. Place the satellite on the pole and screw the stand connector to the stand using the 2 x M3 screws. Note that the connector between the satellite and bracket has a locating device that will only fit one way.

Warning: Be careful. Floorstand spikes are very sharp.

When positioning the speakers avoid piercing any electrical cables etc. under or above the carpet. Hard floors Carpet 4-5 Setting up the M-Cube satellites Using the speaker cable supplied, connect each M-Cube satellite (pic 1) to the appropriate binding posts on the M-Cube subwoofer (pic 2), observing the correct polarity. In your AV receiver’s speaker setup, set all speakers to ‘LARGE’. In your AV receiver’s speaker setup, set the listening distance for each satellite, and adjust the level of each satellite channel to give the same volume at the listening position. If you are unsure, set each channel to the same level. If your bass sounds excessively boomy when listening to stereo sources (eg. CD), set the subwoofer to ‘OFF’ in your AV receiver’s speaker setup (see troubleshooting guide for more information). Alternatively, connect directly to your AV receiver. pic 1 pic 2 In your AV receiver’s speaker setup, set the subwoofer to ‘ON’. Changing the M-Cube wrap Unscrew the 2 x M3 screws in the base of the satellite, using the Allen key provided. Remove the rubber plug from the base of the satellite and carefully remove the fabric wrap. Attach the new fabric wrap to the 4 pins. The wrap has a softer side which is designed to face outwards. Re-insert the rubber plug and screw in the 2 x M3 screws, using the Allen key provided. Ensure the correct orientation of the rubber plug as illustrated below. 6-7 Care, service, and troubleshooting Your M-Cube satellites are independently protected by overdrive detection circuitry: If the input signal level exceeds the safe operating threshold on a particular channel, the satellite volume will cut significantly on that channel. If this occurs, the receiver volume control should be reduced to zero for approximately 15 seconds, after which the volume can be increased to a safer level, and normal function will return. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE No sound coming from satellites Bass sounds boomy in 2 channel (stereo) mode Check all connections; ensure AV receiver is set to correct input channel; ensure volume is above zero; ensure subwoofer power status indicator is live; ensure source is connected and powered up. In stereo / 5-channel stereo modes, some receivers will route bass information to the subwoofer via the LFE channel. If so, you should set the subwoofer to ‘OFF’ in your AV receiver’s speaker setup when listening to 2-channel sources. Only 2 channels are audible Protection devices may have tripped - turn volume down for 15 seconds. Check receiver is not in stereo mode; check all connections.
