If you have the BOSS table stands, please turn to the last few pages of this manual for assembly instructions. 1. The Mod 2 is m ad e u p of tw o ind ivid u al sp eaker sp heres. The first step is to take one Easy Tu rn Thu m bscrew and attach the low er sp eaker to the d esk stand . This w ill also secu re the COZY bracket for the u p p er sp eaker. To d o this, take an Easy Tu rn Thu m bscrew and p u t it throu gh the d esk stand , then throu gh the COZY bracket as illu strated (w ith the “channel” facing tow ard the thu m bscrew ), into the back of one sp eaker. The gold -p lated bind ing p osts on the sp eaker shou ld be facing d ow n, and the vertical p ost on the stand shou ld be betw een the bind ing p osts. Tighten the thu m bscrew u ntil it has a snug fit. Orb Audio LLC -- All Rights Reserved -- Quick Start Guide Updated 4/06 -- Page 2 of 14 2. Take the second thu m bscrew , p u t it throu gh the top hole on the COZY bracket, and tighten it into the hole on the back of the u p p er speaker enclosure. The binding posts should be facing down, and the COZY bracket should be between the binding posts. REAR VIEW OF FULLY ASSEMBLED MOD2 3. The tw o sp heres m u st now be connected to one another w ith the inclu d ed ju m p er w ires. The bind ing p osts have holes on top and bottom that op en w hen you d ep ress the bind ing p ost. Use one jumper wire to go from the red binding post on the bottom speaker to the red bind ing p ost on the top sp eaker. The ju m p er w ire w ill go from the top hole of the low er bind ing p ost, into the hole on the u nd ersid e of the u p p er sp eaker. Connect the black bind ing p osts in the same manner with one of the other included jumper wires.

The sp eaker w ire from the receiver is connected only to the bottom speaker enclosure on the Mod2. To do this, depress the binding posts on this sp eaker and insert the sp eaker w ire into the holes on the bottom of the bind ing p osts. Once you d o so, you shou ld have the sp eaker w ire from the am p lifier/ receiver going into the holes on the underside of the bind ing p osts on the bottom sp eaker enclosu re, and the ju m p er w ires ru nning from the top hole of these bind ing p osts to the corresp ond ing bind ing p osts on the u p p er sp eaker enclosu re. If you have d ifficu lty fitting in the sp eaker w ire and ju m p er w ire, try p u tting in the sp eaker w ire first. Please note: you m u st consu lt the m anu al or m anu factu rer of you r am p lifier/ receiver for p rop er set u p instru ctions, becau se instru ctions vary from m od el to m od el. Generally, you m u st m ake su re you connect the w ires throu ghou t you r system w ithou t reversing the colors or p olarity. It is im p ortant that all speakers be set up exactly the same and that the red and black bind ing p osts are w ired consistently to the m atching p ositive or negative connections on you r am p lifier/ receiver. You m ay d am age you r sp eakers or equ ip m ent if you d o not w ire correctly or cau se other p hysical inju ry or d am age to p rop erty. Wiring is sp ecific to each model of amplifier and receiver, so please consult your manual. 5. Repeat these steps to set up each additional Mod2 speaker. If you are assembling a center channel, you can set up the Mod2 horizontally by following the instructions in the next paragraph. 6. The Mod 2 can also be assem bled horizontally, m ost com m only for u se as a center channel. The basic setu p id ea is the sam e and the picture below illustrates this type of assembly. There are two ways to set u p the Mod 2. For the easiest assem bly, you can give each sp eaker a 1/ 4 tu rn inw ard so that the bind ing p osts are now closer together and facing each other in the center of the com bined sp eaker, as show n below . Connect red p ost to red p ost u sing the inclu d ed ju m p er w ires, and d o the sam e for the black p osts. Please note that after you tu rn each sp eaker, the p ositive (red ) and negative (black) term inals are now on op p osite sid es of the speakers. Consequ ently, you m u st now w ire the top term inal on one sp eaker to the bottom terminal on the other to maintain polarity. Orb Audio LLC -- All Rights Reserved -- Quick Start Guide Updated 4/06 -- Page 5 of 14 You m ay either d irect the ju m p er w ire arou nd the bind ing p osts, as shown above, or you may cut the jumper wire to the exact length you need to cover the d istance betw een the bind ing p osts. After connecting the ju m p er w ires, you can then connect the sp heres w ith the inclu d ed COZY bracket, althou gh you d o not have to. N ote: there is no effect on p erform ance w hen you tu rn the sp eaker, becau se it is rou nd and p erform s exactly the sam e regard less of orientation. Ad d itionally, the bind ing p osts w ill still be invisible from the front of the speaker. If you 'd p refer to leave the sp eakers oriented w ith the bind ing p osts d ow n, you can you can cu t a cu stom length of regular sp eaker w ire and connect the tw o sp heres that w ay. You can u se the sam e sp eaker w ire that you are u sing to connect the Mod 2 to you r receiver. You m ight also be able to u se the inclu d ed ju m p er w ires if you bend the exp osed end s of the inclu d ed ju m p er w ires d ow n at 90 d egrees before attempting to insert them into the binding posts.
