IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ INSTRUCTIONS – All safety and operating instructions should be read before the speaker is operated.
RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS – The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
HEED WARNINGS – All warnings on the speaker and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS – All operating and use instructions should be followed.
CLEANING – Unplug the speaker from the wall outlet or other power source before cleaning. Use a cloth for cleaning.
ATTACHMENTS – Do not use any adapters or attachments not recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks as they may cause hazards.
WATER AND MOISTURE – Do not use the speaker near water-for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool or other similar areas.
ACCESSORIES – Do not place the speaker on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The speaker may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the product.
VENTILATION – Slots, openings and metal fins in the cabinet are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the speaker and to prevent it from overheating. These areas must not be blocked or covered such as by placing the product on a bed, sofa, very deep pile rug, or other similar surface. The speaker should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack.
HEAT – The speaker should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, and other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
POWER SOURCES – The speaker should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
POLARIZATION – The speaker is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION – The AC power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on. No object should bring weight to bear on to the AC power cords.
LIGHTNING – For added protection for the speaker during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug them from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the speaker due to lightning and power-line surges.
OVERLOADING – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY – Never use probes of any kind to reach into the speaker as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the speaker.
SERVICING – Do not attempt to service the speaker yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE – Unplug the speaker from the wall outlet or other power source and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a)When the power-cord or plug is damaged.
b)If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the speaker.
c)If the speaker has been exposed to rain or water.
d)If the speaker does not operate normally by following the operating instructions; or exhibits a distinct change in performance.
e)If the speaker has been dropped or damaged in any way.
REPLACEMENT PARTS – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by Cambridge SoundWorks or have the same characteristics as the original part. Substandard substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service or repairs to the speaker, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the speaker is in proper operating condition.

INTRODUCTION
Thanks for choosing the BassCube 821 subwoofer/amplifier. It features a high-performance woofer, precision internal crossover and amplifier circuitry and an elegant enclosure design.
The amplifier provides ample power to drive any
4 or 8 ohm satellite, bookshelf, or surround speakers to room-filling levels.
The Product Development Team at Cambridge SoundWorks believes there is no better combination of audiophile-level attention to detail and reasonable cost.
