carton. Loosen the two knobs on each
speaker and remove the brackets.

Step 2
Run wire from your amplifier to the
speaker locations.
Typical wire gauge and lengths used in 70
volt systems:
18 gauge x 10 watt load = 2200 feet
18 gauge x 20 watt load = 1100 feet
18 gauge x 50 watt load = 550 feet
18 gauge x 100 watt load = 275 feet
Note: When using the speakers in an 8-
ohm system use the Wire Gauge Chart on
page 2 as a reference.
Step 3
Mount the C-brackets to the wall surface.
The holes in the brackets are 5-7/8" apart
center-to-center. Use the included stainless
steel screws if you are mounting the
speakers outdoors. Run the speaker wires
through the wire holes in the C-brackets.

Step 4
Connect the wire from your amplifier to the terminals on the back of the
speaker. Double check the polarity of the speaker wires, amplifier + to
speaker + and amplifier – to speaker –.
Once the wires are connected you can set the rotary switch located on
the back of the speaker to the appropriate output level.
The combined wattage requirements of the speakers should not exceed
80% of the amplifiers rated output. Following this rule will increase the
reliability of your installation.
Here is an example:
A system uses 24 SM516 speakers set on their 2-watt taps.
24 speakers x 2-watt tap = 48 watts
48 watts / .80 = 60 watts (use this size amplifier)

Step 5
Install the speaker onto the bracket. Screw
the bracket knobs into the cabinet. Point
the speaker towards the listening area.
Once the angle of the speaker has been
determined tighten the bracket knobs
securely.
