IV. INSTALLATION
PREPARATION OF MOUNTING SURFACES / FINISHING OF CEILINGS AND WALLS
Prior to start the installation of the loudspeakers, it will be necessary to run cables to
the loudspeaker locations. See your dealer for more information on cable installation.
After the cable has been properly installed, you are ready to mount the loudspeakers.
1. DETERMINE THE BEST AREA TO MOUNT YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS
This area of the ceiling or wall should be free of obstructions such as electrical conduit,
HVAC ducts, or water lines. If possible, you should access to an attic or crawl space in
order to best noting the location of such obstacles.
2. FIND THE EVENTUAL BEAMS / JOISTS NEAR THE DESIRED LOUDSPEAKER MOUNTING
LOCATION
We highly recommend you to use a good stud-finder tool for this procedure. If you are
placing the loudspeakers really close to some studs or other object, make sure you
consider the size of the baffles flange, which extends beyond the mounting hole.
3. MAKE THE HOLE
A punch out template for setting the hole is provided in the box. Position the template
in the desired position and pencil an outline on the wall or ceiling.

4. CUTTING THE HOLE
Caution : this is the most important part of the entire installation. If you are uncertain
about obstructions in the mounting area, you should start by cutting a small hole with
in the penciled area with a dry wall saw. Cutting at a 45 degree angle will make dry-
wall repair much easier if you need to repair the hole because of unexpected obstruc-
tions. Once you have determined there are no obstructions in your desired mounting
location, start cutting the finished hole at a 90 degree angle to the wall surface.
5. ADD INSULATION
If the area in the ceiling or wall is not already insulated, add an adequate amount of
insulation material to fill the cavity. If the insulation material used is cover with foil or
paper, position the foil or paper away from the loudspeaker.
The mounting-feet sytem integrated into your loudspeaker makes its installation very quick
and easy to do, following only few steps.
1. Remove the grille and set aside in a clean dust-free environment.
2. Binding post terminals provide reliable contact for bare wire. Insert the loudspeaker
cable according to your amplifier's polarity (+ with + and - with -). Make sure the left
channel of the amplifier is connected to the left channel of the loudspeaker, and that
the right channel of the amplifier is connected to the right channel of the loudspeaker.
A polarity inversion will result in a fuzzy stereo image and a low level of bass.
