SPEAKER PLACEMENT SpeakerCraft highly recommends the use of a qualified custom installation specialist when installing your Starlet speakers.

There are some specific recommendations for the Starlets: Starlet 4: It is very important to use the heaviest wire in the shortest length possible. 12 gauge or bigger in a length less than 25 feet is optimum. If possible double the cable, running two sets of 12 gauge to the Starlet 4. -

When adjusted in this way, the sound suddenly gains focus and resolution. -

1. It is best to set these levels on recessed volume controls, such as those on the SpeakerCraft BB series of amplifiers, as this adjustment is a one time, “set and forget” procedure. 2. All pink noise should be identical, but it isn’t. The noise on SpeakerCraft’ s SCT-1.0 Test CD is known to work well in setting the levels. -
