[. . . ] The three fixing holes should be drilled with a 6mm masonry bit and the plastic wall plugs firmly inserted until they are flush with the wall surface. Fix the base with the three screws supplied. Remove the silver support piece, turn it 180°, and reposition the support so that it will fit horizontally with the wall mounted base. Re-mount the two clamps and screw them firmly in place. Connect up the loudspeaker cables and re-fix the Sib onto its wall mounted base. User manual Sib&Cub 3 15 Connexion As with any performance product, Sib should be connected to the amplifier using a high quality pure copper cable of at least Ø 1. Connect the “+” from the amplifier to the “+” on the Sib (red) and the “-” from the amplifier to the “-” of the Sib (black). BASH® 150Wrms amplifier: high-performance digital amplification technology for high power and high quality sound. phase selector: subwoofer/loudspeaker coupling optimization. Auto on/standby system: the BASH® amplifier automatically switches on or off (standby). LFE direct input: direct mono input to connect to the subwoofer output of home theatre amplifiers. When the power control is set on auto-mode, the subwoofer will automatically switch on as soon as an audio signal is detected. When set to power on, the signal detector is disable and the subwoofer is continuously on. Conversely, if no signal is detected during a period of about 3 minutes, the detector automatically set the subwoofer to standby mode. If you expect not to use the subwoofer for a long period, it is recommended to set the power selector to “off”. In case of stormy weather, unplug the power cable.

Considering the fact that the audio/video amplifier already features all the necessary functions, this configuration is recommended for home theatre use only. L R L R Pre-out B Subwoofer C User manual Sib&cub 3 18 Positioning Contrary to conventional high fidelity loudspeakers which have to be placed at a reasonable distance from walls and the listening area corners, we advise you to place your Cub3 subwoofer in a corner of the listening area. If the subwoofer is placed against only one wall or too far from the walls, the very large wavelength of the bass delivered by the subwoofer will excite the resonance of the listening room in an unpredictable way.
