We know you are keen to get your Calliope Bass Modules
working. This section will have you listening to your favourite
music as quickly as possible.
Your Calliope Bass Modules have been carefully packaged for
safe transportation. If you have the storage space, please retain
all the original packaging. This will allow you to transport your
loudspeakers safely in the future.
Make sure that all the components of your audio system are
disconnected from the AC supply whenever you change any
connections.
There are three spacer mountings per loudspeaker in the
accessory pack of your Calliope Bass Module.
Place the Calliope Bass Module on the floor as shown in
the picture.
Screw the threaded ends of the spacer mountings into the
threaded bushes situated on the underside of the Calliope
Bookshelf loudspeaker.
Peel off the protective film from the underside of the spacer to
expose the adhesive surface.
Gently lower one of your Calliope loudspeakers onto the Calliope
Bass Module ensuring that the location pips on the lower side of
the spacer mountings locate into the recesses on the Calliope
Bass Module upper cap. Once in position press down the
Calliope Bookshelf loudspeaker to allow good contact between
the adhesive, applied to the spacer, and the Bass Module.
To connect your Calliope Bass Module to your Calliope Bookshelf
loudspeaker, use the black and white speaker cables supplied in
the accessory pack, connected as shown in the drawing.
Secure the wires by tightening the terminals of both the Calliope
Bookshelf and the Bass Module. Do not overtighten the terminal.
Use high-quality loudspeaker cable. For best sound quality, we
recommend that you use loudspeaker cables terminated in 8 mm
spade terminals. Connect the lower red (positive) terminal of the
right channel Bass Module to the right, positive output terminal on
the back of your amplifier. Unscrew the terminal enough to fit the
spade into it and then tighten the terminal. If you are unable to
fully tighten the terminal, try pushing the spade connector in a
clockwise (tightening) direction. Do not over-tighten the terminal.
Then connect the lower black (negative) terminal of your right
channel Bass Module to the right, negative output terminal on the
back of your amplifier. Repeat this procedure to connect your left
channel Bass Module.
