Read the details on page 6 to help

determine the best position for your

loudspeakers.

Tools required:

•

Phillips screwdriver

•

Pencil or other marker

•

Electric drill and 5/16" drill bit

•

Level

•

Safety glasses

•

Step ladder if needed

•

Electronic stud finder if needed

Preliminary steps:

•

Clear the area where you are going

to work, so it will be safe.

•

Make sure there is no wiring, or

gas or water pipes behind the wall

where you are going to drill!

•

If you have to mount the bracket

onto a masonry wall, we recom-

mend that you consult with your

hardware supplier to buy suitable

masonry hardware. The loud-

speaker weighs 8 lb (3.6 kg), but

you should allow a good safety

margin. If in doubt, please contact

your Sunfire dealer for professional

installation.

Mounting onto sheetrock

1. Choose the best location for your

CRM-BIP loudspeakers.

. Hold the wall mount template onto

the wall surface. Use a level to

make sure that the two holes are

horizontal.

Installation

3. Mark the wall with a pencil in the

location of the two holes, and

remove the template.

4. Put on your safety glasses. With

a 5/16" drill bit, drill two holes into

the marked positions on the wall.

Remove any dust or particles.

5. Press a dry wall anchor into each

hole, and gently tap them in flush.

6. Tighten the screws by hand, until

the heads are sticking out approxi-

mately 1/8".

7. Connect your speaker wires to the

back of the loudspeakers, making

sure of the correct polarity. Gently

pull on the wires to make sure of a

good connection. Secure the wires

so their weight is not pulling against

the terminals.

8. To reduce the chance of the loud-

speaker vibrating against the wall,

place the supplied anti-vibration

pads in four locations on the rear

panel.

9. Hold the loudspeaker in place, so

the keyholes in the rear of the loud-

speaker line up with the screws on

the wall. Make sure that the screw-

heads are securely in the keyholes.

If the loudspeaker feels loose, drive

the screws in further and remount

the loudspeaker.

10. Enjoy your new loudspeaker. See

page 8 regarding the break-in pe-

riod required before the loudspeak-

ers will sound their best.
