Weight: 3 pounds each
The S100 can be safely used with any surround receiv-
er rated above 25 watts per channel. There is little
advantage gained in using more power than 100 watts
per surround channel, but amplifiers above this power
rating can be used so long as the receiver is not oper-
ated at distorted levels.
Warning About Excessive Amplifier Distortion
Operating a receiver (of any power rating) beyond its
maximum undistorted output level creates distortion—
added high-frequency sound not part of the musical
program. Distortion dramatically increases the internal
operating temperature of a loudspeaker and will even-
tually cause the speaker’s failure due to burned or
melted internal parts. While Cambridge SoundWorks
includes the most heat-tolerant parts commensurate
with good acoustic design, the speaker’s Limited
Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship
does not apply to parts that fail from long-term
operation at very high temperatures
Enclosure Cleaning
The speaker enclosures can be cleaned with a
window-cleaning product. Use a soft, lint-free cloth
only. Avoid spraying any cleaner on the grille panels.
Brush or vacuum the grille panels if dust accumulates
on them.
SPECIFICATIONS
Speaker Size Setting in Dolby Digital
Decoders
The S100 includes an internal high-pass network
that prevents it from responding to low-frequency sig-
nals below its operation range.
When connecting either speaker to a Dolby Digital
decoder, set the decoders rear channel size setting to
SMALL. If there is a crossover frequency choice, set
at 100 Hz or higher.
