The speaker system's input terminals can also be
connected using a banana plug (only with horizontal
installation)

After connecting the wires to their speaker system terminals, pull
gently on the wires and confirm that the leads are fastened
securely to their terminals. Insecure connections will result in
broken sound and noise.

• Do not allow bare wire ends to protrude excessively from the

terminals. If bare wires from the two leads touch each other,
excessive load will be placed on the amplifier, leading to possible
damage or malfunction.

• Be sure to connect the + and – leads to their correct terminals. If

the poles at one end of the wires are connected mistakenly (+ to –,
– to +), proper stereo effect will not be produced.

Rack Installation

Preparation

When mounting the speakers on a rack, use the supplied accessory
anti-slip pad or self-adhering fastener strips. The anti-slip pads may
not be fully effective on some surfaces; if any danger of tipping or
falling exists, do not attempt to mount the speakers in that position.

• Using anti-slip pads

Peel off the protective paper backing from the four anti-slip pads
and apply to the four bottom corners of the speaker stand.

`

• Using self-adhering fastener

1. Peel off the protective paper backing from the two loop strips

and apply to the bottom surface of the speaker stand.

2. Peel off the protective paper backing from the two hook strips

and apply to the surface of the installation surface in alignment
with the two loop strips on the speaker stand.

Assembly

Assembling the speaker stands requires use of a medium Phillips
screwdriver.

Connect speaker wires before assembly

Installation example 1 (Horizontal installation)

1. Affix mounting pads

2. Use two supplied screws to fasten the speaker stand to the

speaker

Installation example 2 (Vertical installation)

1. Affix mounting pad

2. Use 4 supplied screws to attach the accessory mounting fixture to

the speaker stand (Fig. a)

3. Use 2 supplied screws to attach the mounting fixture and speaker

stand to the speaker (Fig. b)

Pay special attention to choosing a safe installation
location when mounting the speaker vertically, since it
may tend to tip over.

Wall Mounting

• This speaker system is supplied with a mounting fixture for wall

mounting. When using the speaker system in a wall installation,
take full precautions to prevent the speaker from falling.

• Check the wall location thoroughly to ascertain its ability to support

the weight of the speaker system.

• If you are unable to determine the structural strength of the wall,

consult a building professional before attempting to install the
speaker system on a wall.

• No screws or bolts are provided for use in a wall installation.

Supply your own threaded fasteners in accordance with the wall or
pillar's material structure and strength.

• Install only on a vertically plumb surface. Installation at an angle

may result in dangerous loosening of the fixture, causing a fall.

1. First decide on whether you will install the speakers vertically or

horizontally. Use commercially available threaded fasteners
(screws or bolts) to attach the accessory mounting fixtures to the
wall.
When installing the speakers horizontally, use two screws installed
at the two locations shown (left and right); when using a vertical
installation, place one screw in the center as shown.

2. Loosen the screws slightly to allow the mounting fixture to be

removed.

3. Attach the speaker wire to the speaker.
4. Use one provided accessory screw and one washer to attach the

accessory safety wire to the speaker as shown.

5. Use two provided accessory screws to attach the speaker to the

mounting fixture.

6. Use a commercially available screw or bolt and one of the provided

accessory washers to connect the loose end of the safety wire to
the wall.

7. Align the speaker with the screws installed in step 1, and fasten to

the wall.
