The BassCube 6S is engineered to complement the

Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Series MC50,

MC100, MC150, and MC200 satellite speakers. The

combination of the BassCube 6S and Newton Series

satellites produces smooth wide-range reproduction

that rivals much larger conventional loudspeakers.

The woofer uses a dual-voice coil that combines both

the left and right channel signals to the single sub-

woofer. Both input channels should always be used,

even if you are using a monaural source. Use of only

one input will result in low output and uneven

response.

The design of the BassCube 6S features a high excur-

sion 8" passive radiator in a single tuned bandpass

enclosure driven by an internal 6 1/2" woofer. This

results in a compact enclosure with high output and a

response which naturally compliments the mating

satellite loudspeakers.

The subwoofer should be placed on the floor. Its loca-

tion in the room affects its output. The output increases

the closer the subwoofer is placed to the intersection

of walls and floors (see diagrams). 

Corner

placement also provides the most consistent output

from deep bass to upper bass. Corner placement

“forces” more of the bass energy toward the center of

the room.

Any position in a room can be used,

but a position away from the intersection of two room

surfaces has two drawbacks. The subwoofer will not

achieve as strong an output as near a wall, and the

output across the subwoofer’s range will be less con-

sistent.
