INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the BassCube 6S. Your new subwoofer features a high quality driver in a solid cabinet. The bandpass enclosure design of the BassCube 6S produces plenty of room-filling bass with low distortion in an extremely compact package.
The Product Development team at Cambridge SoundWorks believes that there is no better combination of audiophile-level attention to detail and reasonable cost.
Inspecting for damage
Examine each part carefully for shipping damage. If there is any, do not install or use the system. Return the subwoofer to the store or merchant where you made the purchase or call Cambridge SoundWorks at 1-800-FOR-HIFI (1-800-367-4434) for assistance.
Its a good idea to store the carton and packing material for future use and transport.

USE AND SATELLITE MATCHING
The BassCube 6S is engineered to complement the Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Series MC50, MC100, MC150, and MC200 satellite speakers. The combination of the BassCube 6S and Newton Series satellites produces smooth wide-range reproduction that rivals much larger conventional loudspeakers.
The woofer uses a dual-voice coil that combines both the left and right channel signals to the single subwoofer. Both input channels should always be used, even if you are using a monaural source. Use of only one input will result in low output and uneven response.
The design of the BassCube 6S features a high excursion 8" passive radiator in a single tuned bandpass enclosure driven by an internal 6 1/2" woofer. This results in a compact enclosure with high output and a response which naturally compliments the mating satellite loudspeakers.
Placement
The subwoofer should be placed on the floor. Its location in the room affects its output. The output increases the closer the subwoofer is placed to the intersection of walls and floors (see diagrams).
Some Advantages Of Corner Placement: Corner placement also provides the most consistent output from deep bass to upper bass. Corner placement “forces” more of the bass energy toward the center of the room.
Other locations: Any position in a room can be used, but a position away from the intersection of two room surfaces has two drawbacks. The subwoofer will not achieve as strong an output as near a wall, and the output across the subwoofer’s range will be less consistent.
