Page 8: Installation: Chairs And Couches
Installation: Chairs & Couches As a general rule, most chairs and couches have an underlying wooden frame. The Transducer can be mounted directly to a frame member or to a hardwood bridge that is rigidly secured to chair or couch’s bottom frame. - Page 9 Recommendation: Clark Synthesis recommends using only 6” Jam Nut TST429 Platinum Transducers for platforms. Use of (1) TST429 Platinum Transducer for every 4 ft. by 8 ft. area of the platform is suggested. Platforms are a great alternative to mounting a Transducer directly to a chair.
- Page 10 Installation: Laminated I-Beam Floors Laminated I-Beam Joists The Transducer mounts on 1"x 6" hardwood bridge spanning two joists, using the Unimount Bracket (shown) or the threaded stud with T-Nut. Attach the bridge to the bottom face of the joists using adhesive and screws.

Page 12: Installation: Wood Decks
Installation: Wood Decks Measure the overall dimensions of the deck. For best results, it is recommended that one (1) AW339 be installed for every 10 ft. by 10 ft. (3 m by 3 m) section of deck. For example, if you have a deck that is 10 ft. - Page 13 Installation: Wood Decks If you are using the joist mount, determine the general mounting location and then find the closest joist support for that location. Drill a 5/16” (.79 cm) pilot hole that is approximately 2 inches (5 cm) deep into the joist. Place two (2) Jam Nuts on the Hanger Bolt and tighten the nuts together (see the joist style diagram on the previous page).

Page 14: Wiring And Connections
Wiring & Connections HOME THEATER There are several different ways to hook up your system in terms of which source material (signal) is delivered to the amplifier(s) and Transducer(s). Since our inception, we have discovered that approximately half of our customers prefer using the LFE/SUB signal with their Transducers. The other half prefer using the Right Front (RF) and Left Front (LF) signals. Additionally, there are a few people who like to use multiple signals concurrently. - Page 15 Wiring & Connections Right Front (RF) and Left Front (LF) Hookup For this hookup, connect the RF and LF Pre-Amp Outputs to the amplifier inputs. NOTE: Not all receivers have Pre-Amp outputs for the Right Front and Left Front outputs. If you have a question about your receiver’s outputs, please consult your owner’s manual or contact your receiver’s manufacturer.
