Connections
1. Power connection.
Model
Twelve’s amplifier operates
from a 12-14 volt DC source. A
plug-in adapter for use with
120 V, 60 Hz AC household
current is supplied. Also, a
connecting cable for powering
the amplifier from a vehicle’s
12 VDC, negative ground
electrical system, is supplied
(See diagram at right). To
prevent damage to the
amplifier, do not connect
Model Twelve to any other
power source without first
calling Cambridge
SoundWorks for advice
(1-877-YES-HIFI).
Note: When switched off,
Model Twelve’s amplifier
reverts to a standby mode that
uses a very small current. With
a battery power source such as
a vehicle’s electrical system,
unplug
Model Twelve when not
in use to prolong battery life.
2. Connecting program
sources.
Model Twelve accepts
as many as four different
program sources, as shown in
the diagram below. Use line-
level outputs wherever
possible. If you have a
portable CD or tape player that
has only a headphone output,
connect it to the amplifier,
then turn its volume control
up to it’s midpoint and leave
it there. Thereafter, adjust
playback volume with
Model
Twelve’s volume control.

3. Connecting the satellites.
Connect the unattached ends
of the satellite speaker wires
to the Satellites Out terminals
on the amplifier. Attach the
leads with the red tabs to the
“+” terminals and the
unmarked lead to the “–”
terminals. For permanent
installation, the speaker wires
may be extended using the wire
nuts provided. Contact
Cambridge SoundWorks or the
store where you purchased the
system for advice and appro-
priate wire. The satellites may
also be wall-mounted as
described in the section
“Speaker Placement” on page 6.

the
BassCase on a flat surface
with the round bass speaker
grille facing down. Press down
on a corner near either latch
and secure the latch: Repeat for
the other latch.
