Introduction
Last updated: January 19, 2023 01:58. Revision #10117
Thank you for purchasing these Cambridge Audio SX-80 floorstanding 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

1. Firstly, using high quality speaker cable connect the SX-80 floorstanding speakers to the speaker terminals on your amplifier. Ensure that you pay
close attention to match the polarity of each connection.
2. If placed 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.
3. 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.
