Introduction

hanks for purchasing the
MusicWorks simple source
audio control center. The
combination of MusicWorks

T

and a Cambridge SoundWorks
powered loudspeaker system creates
a system which is compact, simple to
operate, with outstanding music
reproduction capability.

MusicWorks’ compact size and
simple operation make it easy to fit
high quality sound in places where
even a shelf system is too large. It’s
perfect for dens, offices, kitchens,
bedrooms, and dorm rooms.

outperform the conventional
speakers supplied with shelf
systems, yet their subwoofer/satellite
format allows extremely flexible
placement options.

MusicWorks is also a perfect
addition to a home or office PC. By
connecting your computer sound
card’s output to the MusicWorks
Computer Mix input, you can use the
same powered speakers for your
computer sound while listening to
the radio or a CD.

simple User Manual carefully. It will help
