INTROD CTION

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The proper placement of speakers affects how well the AV

surround system recreates the soundfield intended by the

recording engineer. Current recording practice typically

assumes a speaker array with a center channel speaker

directly in front of the central viewing position. Left and right

speakers are placed so they each form a 30 degree angle

from the centerline. Left and right surround speakers should

be 110 degrees from the centerline. Left and right rear

speakers in a 7.1 system should be at 140 degrees. f a sin-

gle rear speaker is used in a 6.1 system, it should be cen-

tered on the rear wall. Front speakers should be as close to

the height of the TV monitor as practical. Surround and rear

speakers should be slightly higher. Recreate this speaker

pattern as closely as your room and furnishings allow.

Don’t be too concerned if your situation and listening envi-

ronment dictate the speakers’ position. Most rooms do not

allow ideal placement. Place your speakers as close to

these guidelines as practical. The speakers will still provide

convincing, lifelike sound.

Your surround processor has a variety of adjustments to

optimize the sound based on the speakers’ capabilities and

placement. These adjustments vary by processor, so refer

to your processor’s manual for instructions specific to your

equipment. Set your main, center, and surround settings to

“SMALL”, with subwoofer “ON”. f your processor allows you

to adjust the crossover frequency, set it as close to 100Hz

as possible.

• Avoid placing front left and right speakers very close to a

side wall (within 12-14 inches). The reflected sound from the

wall degrades the sound coming directly from the speaker.

WIRING THE SPEAKERS

f you wish to conceal the wire within the walls, it is easiest

to run the wires to their final positions prior to mounting the

speakers.

The spring loaded terminals of the MC650HD accept bare

wire between AWG #12 and AWG #18 (lower numbers are

thicker). t is not necessary to “tin” the wire or use connec-

tors to terminate the wire.

• Use at least AWG #18 speaker cable for short runs

(under 15 feet). Use AWG #16 or heavier speaker cable

for longer runs.

• Building codes typically require plenum rated wire for

installation within walls. Be sure to use wire that complies

with any applicable local building codes. Plenum rated

cable typically has an outer jacket with individually

insulated conductors inside the outer jacket. Some brands

of plenum rated cable may be too thick to fit the space

between the wall mount bracket and the speaker. To use

heavier plenum rated speaker cable with the wall mount

brackets, remove the outer jacket and any filler cord back

to the point where the wire exits the wall.

Preparing the wires:

1. Determine how long the speaker cable should be for

each speaker. Cut the speaker cable into the

appropriate lengths.

2. Route the wire to each speaker location.

3. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from the two individual

conductors in the speaker cable. Twist the exposed

strands of bare wire together.

4. Determine which conductor you will use to connect the

positive terminals of the amplifier and speaker together.

Printing or a ridge on the insulation usually distinguishes

one of the two conductors. Sometimes the metal of the

conductors has two different colors, or the insulation

color of each conductor may be different.

Strip 1/2 inch

1. Press the speaker’s red terminal to expose the hole in

its shaft.

2. nsert the stripped end of one cable’s positive conductor

into the speaker’s red (+) terminal.

3.Release the terminal to secure the connection. Make

sure no stray strands of wire are present.

4. Repeat the procedure for the cable’s other conductor

and the speaker’s black (–) terminal.

5. Connect the opposite end of the speaker cable to the

speaker outputs of your receiver. Remember to

observe channel and polarity (Left Positive, Left

Negative, Right Positive, Right Negative).

6. Repeat the process for each speaker.

TO ATTACH THE WIRES

The MC650HD may be wall mounted or placed horizontally

on a table top as a center-channel using the included

hardware. Matching floor and table-top stands are available

separately from Cambridge SoundWorks.

Hanging the speaker on the wall:

The MC650HD may be mounted either vertically or

horizontally using the supplied wall bracket. Method #1 is

recommended. Use Method #2 if there is insufficient

clearance for Method #1.

Method #1 – Use this method when mounting the speaker

vertically when you have at least 21" clearance above the

top of the wall mount bracket. Use this method whenever

mounting the speaker horizontally.

1. Using the wall mount bracket as a guide, mark at least

four locations for mounting screws. t is best to use the

holes at the four outermost corners. f concealing the

wiring in the wall, position the bracket so that the wire

exits the wall through the large hole in the center of the

bracket. The wire should extend through the bracket

approximately 12". Drill a 1/4" diameter hole and install

wall anchors in each location. Refer to the instructions

in the Appendix for proper use of the Toggler brand

anchors included with this speaker.

2. Attach the mounting bracket securely to the wall using

four #10 screws.

3. Attach the wire to the speaker terminals. Slide the

speaker on the bracket from the top while guiding the

wire through the channel between the speaker and

bracket.

4. Pull the speaker logo straight out to remove it. Use a

philips screwdriver to gently tighten the lock screw

concealed in the hole behind the logo to secure

speaker to the bracket. Do not over-tighten. t only

requires slight pressure! Pay attention to the wire

location so that the screw does not penetrate the

speaker wire. nstall the logo so that the text is upright.

to tighten. (See #4)

Method 2 – Use this method to mount the speaker vertically

when you have less that 21" clearance above the top of the

speaker bracket. Always use method #1 when mounting the

speaker horizontally, and whenever at least 21" clearance is

available.

1. Using the wall mount bracket as a guide, mark at least

four locations for mounting screws in the elongated

keyholes found at the four corners and center sides.

t is best to use the holes at the four outermost corners.

f concealing the wiring in the wall, position the bracket

so the wire exits the wall through the large hole in the

center of the bracket. The wire should extend

approximately 12".

2. Drill a 1/4" diameter hole and install plastic anchors in

each location. Refer to the instructions in the Appendix

for proper use of the Toggler brand anchors included

with this speaker.

3. nsert #10 screws in each anchor and tighten them until

they extend approximately 1/4". Temporarily place the

bracket in place and tighten the four mounting screws

to the point that the bracket can still be be removed.

You should have to supply slight pressure to slide the

bracket back into place between the wall and screws.

4. Pass the wire through the center hole of the bracket.

Attach the wire to the speaker terminals. Slide the

speaker on the bracket from the top while guiding the

wire through the middle of the channel formed between

the speaker and bracket.

5. Pull the speaker logo straight out to remove it. Use a

philips screwdriver to gently tighten the lock screw

concealed in the hole behind the logo to secure the

speaker to the bracket. Do not over-tighten. t only

requires slight pressure! Pay attention to the wire

location so that the screw does not penetrate the

speaker wire. nstall the logo with the text upright.

6. Align the speaker and bracket assembly over the four

screws and press downward about 1/2" so that the

screws lock into the keyhole slots in the bracket. Guide

any slack speaker wire back into the wall as you

position the speaker.

SPEAKER MO NTING

Note: Screw is already

installed within speaker.

Use philips screwdriver

to tighten. (See #4)

To place horizontally on a tabletop or shelf:

1.Attach two rubber hook-shaped stick-on feet

symmetrically along the bottom edge of the speaker

approximately 18" apart. f you are mounting the

speaker on an uneven surface you may need to attach

the feet closer to the center. Adapt the actual position

to your needs. You may orient the speaker so that the

terminals are at either end.

2. Slide the rear support into the channel on the rear of

the speaker until it is in the approximate center of the

speaker. Orient it so the foot is along the same side as

the rubber feet you installed in step 1.

3. Tighten the set-screw finger-tight to stabilize the

support.

4. Remove the logo by pulling it straight out. Turn it 90

degrees so that the text reads correctly. Press it back

in place.

HORIZONTAL PLACEMENT

The switch located near the connection terminals optimizes

the low frequency response of the speaker for wall or stand

mounting.

• When the speaker is mounted on a speaker stand,

away from the wall press the end of the switch marked

with “|”.

• When the speaker is mounted on the wall or table,

press the end of the switch marked with “O”. The upper

bass range will be slightly attenuated to compensate for

the increase in bass caused by wall reflection.

The above recommendations should yield the most accurate

response in each example, but they are optional. f you pre-

fer the sound with settings opposite the above recommen-

dations, feel free to use your settings instead.

Automatic Tweeter Protection

he MC650HD can be safely used with any receiver rated

above 30 watts per channel. There is little advantage in

using more power than 100 watts per speaker, but receivers

above this power rating can be used so long as the receiver

is not operated at distorted levels.

To protect the tweeter, a self-resetting circuit breaker is

incorporated into the MC650HD crossover network. f the

speaker is overpowered for an extended period, this circuit

breaker will open and the tweeter will be disconnected.

When the volume is reduced or the overload has passed,

the circuit will reset and normal operation will be restored.

SETTING BASS CONTO R

Warning About Excessive Amplifier Distortion:

Operating a receiver (of any power rating) beyond its

maximum undistorted output level creates distortion –

added high frequency sound not part of the musical program.

Distortion dramatically increases the internal operating tem-

perature of a speaker and will eventually cause the speak-

er’s failure due to burned or melted internal parts. While

Cambridge SoundWorks includes the most heat-tolerant

parts commensurate with good acoustic design, the

speaker’s Limited Warranty against defects in materials or

workmanship does not apply to parts that fail from long-

term operation at very high temperatures.

Enclosure Cleaning

The speaker enclosures can be cleaned with a soft, damp

cloth or mild cleaner.

Brush or vacuum the grille panels with a soft brush

attachment to your vacuum cleaner.
