Hookup Options - Cambridge SoundWorks New Ensemble II Instructions Manual

Hookup Options

The New Ensemble II may be connected to
your receiver or amplifier using any one
of the three following diagrams. All of the
three options are acoustically and
electrically identical. Choosing the right
connection option minimizes the length of
speaker wire you have to use (and
possibly conceal).
If you wish to audition your speakers in
different positions before deciding on the
their final locations, connect your
speakers according to Hookup Option (1)
and allow ample wire length for experi-
mentation. Afterwards, you can reconnect
the wires in the most efficient routing.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The complete New Ensemble II system
must be connected ONLY to the Speaker
A or Speaker B terminals on your receiver
or amplifier, just like a pair of conventional
speakers. DO NOT connect the satellites
to one set of terminals and the subwoofer
to the other. With many receivers, this
would connect the satellites and bass
speaker in series, which would do no
damage, but could seriously degrade the
New Ensemble II's performance.
