Connecting the Jewel Cube ® speakers to the Acoustimass ® module
1. Insert the connector of each speaker cable fully into the jack on the rear of each speaker
(Figure 6). Match the ridge of the connector to the notch at the top of the jack.
2. Connect each 20-foot (6.1 m) cable to the corresponding left or right green jack on the
Acoustimass module. Speaker cables have green connectors at one end, with L (left) and
R (right) molded into the connectors.
To lengthen the cable, connect speaker wire with male phono (RCA) plugs on each end to
your supplied speaker cable. Use a female-to-female adapter (“barrel” connector). Or, splice
in 18-gauge (.75 mm

wire, see your dealer, electronics store, or call Bose ® Customer Service.
