Wiring the Speakers

Please turn off and unplug your system prior to making any connections. To wire your system, use good quality speaker cable with polarity coding (usually identified with a marking on the cable). Use 16 gauge speaker wire for up to 40ft and 14 gauge speaker wire for more than 40 ft. Connect the positive lead of the speaker wire (indicated with”+”) to the red(+) speaker terminal. Connect the negative lead of the speaker wire to the black(-) speaker terminal. Connect the other end of the speaker wire to the respective inputs on the amplifier. See the diagram below.

Mounting to the Wall

First, connect the bracket to the wall using the wall screws and a drill. Once the bracket is secure, use the speaker screws to attach the bracket to the holes in the speaker. Screw tightly by hand leaving enough slack so the speaker may rotate. See the diagram below.

Note: Failure to properly install the speaker could cause injury from falling objects.

• Loosen and remove the molded nut (2) by turning it counterclockwise. Use the supplied metal bar (s) if necessary by inserting it in one of the holes on the molded nut (2).
• Pull the ball/shaft (3) out of the wall bracket (4).
• Slide on the molded nut(2) onto the ball/shaft (3) with a threaded opening facing the ball, and thread on the metal nut(1) all the way onto the ball/shaft(3), with the nut’s(1) “knurled” surface facing away from the ball.
• Screw the ball/ shaft (3) into the threaded insert on the back of the speaker cabinet (6) until it is fully seated against the bottom of the insert.
• Tighten the “knurled” nut(1) using a crescent wrench until it is firmly seated against the back of the speaker and has fully locked the ball/ shaft (3) and the speaker cabinet together. Please note that once this nut is tightened, it may embed some marks on the back of the speaker where the attachment is made. However, these marks will be covered by the nut (1).
• Mount the wall bracket (4) with the safety string (8) onto a wood stud on the wall using #10, minimum 1-inch long, wood screws. Make sure that all 4 screws are driven into the stud and not in drywall. If the bracket needs to be mounted on drywall, the use of properly selected and installed wall anchors and screws is essential.
• Holding the speaker cabinet (7) with both hands, reinsert the ball portion of the ball/ shaft (3) into the wall bracket (4).
• Hand-tighten the molded nut (2) while positioning the speaker for the intended orientation. Please do NOT tighten the molded nut (2) too hard to avoid damaging the bracket.
• Once the orientation of the speaker is finalized, use the metal bar (5) in one of the holes on the molded nut (2) and tighten it securely. Please do NOT press hard and strike the speaker when it is finalized.

Listening Test

Once you have connected your speakers, turn on your system and begin playback of material you are familiar with. Begin at a low volume and increase to a comfortable listening level. The system should sound balanced with stereo sound. If the sound is distorted, check to make sure that the speakers have been correctly wired to your amplifier or receiver.
