Installation

1. WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or
disconnecting any cables.
2. The procedure below describes the installation of the loudspeaker into a typical stud wall with drywall/plasterboard.
3. The loudspeaker can be installed vertically or horizontally.
4. Locate a suitable mounting position for the loudspeaker, using a stud-finder.
WARNING: Make sure that there are no power lines, other cables, or plumbing such as water, sewer, gas lines in the chosen location.
5. Run the speaker wire from your amplifier to this location, leaving enough slack to allow for the connection.
6. The mounting bracket can be preinstalled and wired, and the speaker assembly added at a later stage.
7. Remove the loudspeaker from the bracket by using an M10 hexagonal wrench to undo the lower pivot.
8. Remove the front cover from the bracket, to expose the wiring terminals and mounting holes.
9. If the mounting bracket is to be mounted to a stud, then the screws must be long enough to enter into the wood and make a secure
and safe mounting position. Consult the relevant construction codes in your region.
10. If the loudspeaker mounting bracket is to be mounted to drywall or a solid masonary wall, then suitable screws and wall plugs must
be used to make a secure and safe mounting position. Consult the relevant construction codes in your region.
11. Follow the information on the previous pages to connect the speaker wires from your power amplifier to the speaker terminals.Make
sure to check that the polarity is correct and that the positive and negative wires are securely and correctly connected.
12. Secure the mounting bracket in place using four screws. Check that the bracket is truely level, vertically or horizontally. Refit the front
cover to the mounting bracket.
13. If it will be some time before the loudspeaker is installed, cover the mounting bracket pivot to prevent any dust, moisture,
or paint from entering. Note that the pivot contains the electrical connections to the loudspeaker, so if this is not kept clean,
it may cause a bad connection.
14. When ready, carefully align the loudspeaker with the mounting bracket, and tighten it up with an M10 hexagonal wrench.
Adjust the angle of the loudspeaker before finally tightening it in position.
15. Thoroughly test the loudspeaker operation with your sound system. Note that the passive radiator at the rear of the loudspeaker must
be free to move, and must not touch any objects or cabling for example.
