Introduction
Last updated: January 19, 2023 01:56. Revision #8406
Thank you for purchasing these Cambridge Audio SX-50 stand mount loudspeakers. We hope that you enjoy many years of listening pleasure from
them. Your loudspeakers can only be as good as the system it is connected to. Please do not compromise on your amplifier or cabling. Naturally we
particularly recommend amplification from the Cambridge Audio range, which has been designed to the same exacting standards as our
loudspeakers. Your dealer can also supply excellent quality speaker cable to ensure your system realises its full potential.
Thank you for taking the time to read this manual; we do recommend you keep it for future reference.

Installation instructions
Last updated: January 19, 2023 01:56. Revision #8410
1. Firstly, using high-quality speaker cable connect the SX-50 stand mount speakers to the speaker terminals on your amplifier. Ensure that you pay
close attention to match the polarity of each connection.
2. For the best results we would recommend using speaker stands to mount your SX-50 speakers. Alternatively, the speakers can be placed on a
shelf, and in either case we would suggest leaving at least a 5cm space behind the rear of each speaker.
3. If placed on a desk, or close to a wall you may benefit from using the included foam bass tuning bungs. These can be placed into the rear port of
each speaker to reduce the low frequency output.

4. Finally, when positioning, we would suggest that the distance between speakers and the listening position is equal. However, we would
encourage experimentation until you find a solution that works for your space.
