Minimus-0.3 Cube  (400-1250B)      Connections        Faxback Doc. # 14001
Speaker System

Two terminals are provided on the rear of the speaker system for
connection to your amplifier/ receiver, Use speaker wire or ordinary 18-
gauge SP-T lamp cord ("zip cord") for distances between amplifier and
speaker of 50 feet (15m) or less. Over 50 feet (15m), use heavier 16-gauge
wire. In multi-speaker monophonic installations and stereo systems, where
phasing is important, use a color coded wire (one with a marker yarn or 
some means of distinguishing one wire from the other). SP-T lamp cord
usually has one wire identified by a thin outside ridge molded into the
plastic insulation.

PHASING

Your Minimus-0.3 has one terminal marked "+" and another marked "-" on the
back. Be sure to connect your Speakers to the appropriate amplifier/
receiver terminals as shown in the illustration. This is essential for 
proper phasing, which gives the best sound.

If you're not sure about phasing, try this: (1 ) connect your system for
stereo; 12) place Speakers about one foot (30 cm) apart and facing each
other; (3) tune to a spot on the FM dial where there is no station.
Reversing the wires to one of the Speakers will produce a fuller, broader
sound which is immediately noticeable. The correct connection is the one
producing the fuller sound.

STEREO SYSTEMS

Special speaker placement is necessary for stereo listening. As a general
rule, distance between speakers should be approximately 2/3 of distance
between speakers and main listening area.  However, in practice the actual
distance between speakers may vary widely.  The speakers may be faced
straight forward or angled in or out slightly, depending on room acoustics
and stereo effect wanted. A little experimenting will soon reveal the
ideal stereo setup.
