Speaker Connections; Important - Boston MCS 150 Mode D'emploi

Speaker Wires
For short runs of less then 20 feet or so you can use 18 gauge wire. For runs of more than 50 feet use 16 gauge wire.

Speaker Connections

After your speakers are properly placed, you are ready to wire your system. First, turn off all system power. Please see
the illustration below for guidance connecting the wires to the MCS 150 satellites and center channel. For connection
to your receiver please refer to its owner's manual.

Important!

To ensure the best performance observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown
in the illustration. Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the
respective + (red) terminal on each speaker. Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.
If the connections are not made correctly it can cause poor bass response and imaging. Also,
to avoid short circuits that may damage your equipment be careful not to let any of the bare
wires touch each other.
Subwoofer Connections
Turn off all power. Use a subwoofer cable, as shown, to connect your digital receiver's LFE subwoofer output to the subwoofer.
Connect the other end to the "Line In" on the back of the Subwoofer.
