Page 2: Important Safety Information
Introduction Thank you for your purchase and welcome to the growing number of satisfied BluCube listeners. Please read the following installation and operation guidelines carefully to ensure enjoyment of your home audio system for years to come. Although we recommend that BluCube flush-mount loudspeakers should be fitted by competent installation technicians or qualified electricians, installation is also well within the means of a competent DIY enthusiast when performed with the aid of this instruction guide. - Page 3 Important: Please refer to the section later in this manual on painting grilles before embarking on this •Grille removal tool: Your (CXC) BluCube loudspeakers come with a pair of finger hooks to facilitate the removal of the grilles in the event that you wish to adjust or remove your loudspeakers.

Page 4: Speaker Placement
BluCube loudspeakers possess extremely smooth and predictable off-axis frequency response. The chart below shows how far apart the speakers can be placed in a distributed audio system. Again, this is a guide and should not be treated as mandatory. The calculations are based on a +/- 45 degree coverage from the speaker and listener ear heights using 1.5 metre for a standing and 0.6 m for a seated... - Page 5 As an example, a typical amplifier may specify an operational acceptable impedance range of 4 to 8 ohms. If you connect two pairs of BluCube Loudspeakers (set to 8 ohm impedance on the circuit board) in parallel, the impedance you will present to the amplifier is 4 ohms.
- Page 6 Running Speaker wires Each BluCube loudspeaker will require a separate two-core speaker cable run from the speaker to the chosen location of your amplifier. In the case of the CXC-650-S and CXCL-650-S (a single-stereo loudspeaker incorporating both left and right channels) you must treat this as a pair and run two 2-core speaker cables from the speaker to the amplifier.
- Page 7 For instance, if you are wishing to install your BluCube loudspeakers in upstairs rooms, consider whether the attic space is a suitable location for your amplifier. This would greatly reduce the cable runs required and almost certainly avoid redecoration needs.
- Page 8 The first step in installing flush-mount loudspeakers in a pre-existing construction is to establish the location of the ceiling joists or wall studs. You may be able to do this by lifting upstairs floorboards or stud finding tools. If not, you may need to make pilot holes and a probe but recognise this may entail making good afterwards.
- Page 9 If your speakers are widely separated and the music fails to blend into a central image when the system is operated in stereo mode, you should orientate the tweeters toward the listening area. If you are using your BluCube loudspeakers in a home theatre environment, you can point the pivoting tweeter towards a wall or window to create a diffuse surround effect.
