The pole socket has two holes: one that is level and one at a 7-degree tilt. Use only one of the holes. You can choose to mount the speaker either parallel to the floor or tilted down by 7 degrees. These sockets are compatible with commercially available speaker stands and speaker poles of 35 mm diameter.

[INPUT/PARALLEL] connectors
These connectors are compatible with Neutrik speakON plugs. Connect them to a power amplifier or powered mixer using a speaker cable. When connecting a speakON plug, insert it all the way in and turn it clockwise until it clicks into place to lock it. To remove the speakON plug, pull the latch towards you and turn the plug counterclockwise to remove it.

③ Handle
CAUTION
When lifting and carrying the subwoofer, always hold the shaded area of the handle as indicated in the illustration. Holding it anywhere other than the shaded area may cause damage to the subwoofer or physical injury.
④ Caster mounting screws
These screws are for attaching the optional Yamaha Caster SPW-1 (sold separately). Casters can be attached for easier transport. To attach the wheels, use the screws that came attached to the CXSmk3 body. If you do not attach the wheels, do not remove these screws. Otherwise, air leakage will adversely affect sound quality.
CAUTION
Be sure to use this subwoofer along with the optional wheels intended specifically for the Yamaha CXSmk3 series. If you use wheels other than the optional wheels dedicated for the Yamaha CXSmk3 series, the subwoofer may become unstable, increasing the risk of injury.
NOTE
For more information about installing wheels and related precautions, refer to the corresponding manual for the wheels.
