Step-by-Step Installation
and Wiring (12.1 Subwoofer)

Step 1: Mount the Bracket

The mounting bracket can be installed two
ways (see Figures 17 and 18), allowing opti-
mal configurations for installations. Leave
1.5" of space between the bracket and
the ceiling when installing in a corner!
Attach the bracket to the wall with suit-
able fasteners screwed into structural mem-
bers in the wall. Remember: It is the in-
staller's responsibility to insure that the
structure can safely support the load.

Step 2: Install the Safety Line

Using accepted safe rigging practices,
secure one end of a suitable safety line (use
cable, not chain, which will rattle) to a
strong, secure point above the speaker, a
point that can withstand the shock of the
falling speaker. This is especially important
in public spaces constructed with light-
gauge steel studs. Do not attach the safe-
ty line to the bracket! The safety line
should prevent the speaker from falling if
the bracket tears loose from the wall.
Secure the other end to the eyebolt that is
fully threaded into the enclosure.

Step 3: Wire the Speaker

The amplifier and satellite speakers are
wired as shown in Figure 19. It is highly
advisable to support the unit while these
connections are being made. Connect all
wires to the speaker at the back terminal
plate observing proper polarity of the con-
nections. The push-terminals accept strand-
ed wire up to 14 gauge. When using two
satellites, wire the speakers directly into
the output terminals of the panel. Four
satellites may be connected either as two
pairs directly to the output terminals or
with daisy-chain wiring as in Figure 20.
