The M50, M60 and M80 all feature the finest drivers, precision internal crossover circuitry, and an elegant enclosure design. The Design Team at Cambridge SoundWorks believes there is no better combination of audiophile-level attention to detail and reasonable cost. AFTER UNPACKING Store the shipping carton and packing material for future use and transport.
There is a metal insert in the back of the M50 with 1/4-20 threads. The recommended bracket (avail- able from Cambridge SoundWorks) is the Vogel’s Satellite 5 (part number A1SAT5BL for black or A1SAT5WH for white). For stability, the speaker should be installed on the wall inverted, so the bracket is above the speaker’s center (fig.1).
Allow at least 3-4 inches of vent clearance between the rear panel of an M60 or M80 speaker and a wall. Allow at least 2 inches of clearance between the rear panel of an M50 speaker and the back wall.

Apply the feet close to the outside corners of the enclosure (see diagram). The face of the speaker should be posi- tioned near to or flush with the edge of the mounting surface for best sound.

(see diagram Vertical Position). Invert the speaker when it is placed above ear level. You can also invert and replace the grille panel to restore the logo to a right side up position.

PREPARE THE SPEAKER WIRE Use at least 18 gauge speaker cable for short runs (under 15 feet). Use 16 gauge or heavier speaker cable for longer runs. 1. Determine how long the speaker cable should be for each speaker. Cut the speaker cable into the appropriate lengths.

M50 and M60, but avoid using this type of output with a pair of M80s; drive M80’s with an amplifi- er’s normal speaker output. All Cambridge SoundWorks BassCube subwoofers have full-range, straight pass-through speaker outputs. You can use these outputs with the M50, M60 or M80.
The M50 can be safely used with any receiver rated above 10 watts per channel. There is little advantage in using more power than 100 watts per speaker, but a receiver above this power rating can be used so long as the receiver is not operated at distorted levels.
