Mounting speaker on bracket To mount the speaker on the Mach TF bracket, insert one side of the Mach TF end square into the speaker locking plate, press the locking button down and insert the other side of the end squeare. Once the end square is completely inside the locking plate, release the locking button and make sure that the end square is now locked tightly into place.
How to attach safety wire The safety wire is attached to the speaker at one end and the wall at the other. To attach the safety wire to the speaker, please screw the fastener screw tightly into the speaker cabinet.
Connecting to an amplifier The way you connect your CI speakers to your amplifier depends on the type of installation that you are creating and the type of amplifier used. Simple connection The most basic type of connection is a direct connection from one channel on the amplifier to one speaker.
Parallel system If you require more speakers for better sound distribution and you only have a limited number of output channels on your amplifier, you can connect more than one speaker to each channel. This can be done by linking the speakers for each channel in parallel as illustrated.
Serial system If the amplifier has a minimum impedance of 8 ohms it is still possible to connect more than one speaker to each channel by using serial connection. When using serial connection, however, please remember that the output will drop according to the number of speakers attached to each channel.
Maintenance of speakers Even though speaker systems normally only require very limited maintenance there are several things that you can do to ensure that your Mach system will sound as good 3 years after installation as on the day you bought it: Never overload your system but stay within the specified limits for power handling.

Troubleshooting Installing a Mach professional speaker system should be problem-free. However, installation errors or amplifier faults can impair sound quality. If cables are not connected in phase, or if connections are bad, you may experience lack of bass due to phase cancellation or no sound at all.
