Unpacking

Check in the carton for:

2 Foam plugs

Rubber support pad

Support/wall bracket assembly

M6 cap head screw

Profiled washer

5mm Allen key

2 Mounting templates

Positioning

Home theatre front centre

(figure 1)

Position the speaker in horizontal orientation either

immediately above or immediately below the screen,

depending on which is nearer ear height.

Mounting

The speaker may be mounted on a shelf or bookcase,

or on the wall.

Stray magnetic fields

The speaker drive units create stray magnetic fields

that extend beyond the boundaries of the cabinet,

and, if placed close to the display, the display should

be a non-CRT (eg plasma or LCD) type. We

recommend you keep magnetically sensitive articles

(CRT television and computer screens, computer

discs, audio and video tapes, swipe cards and the

like) at least 0.5m from the speaker. LCD and plasma

screens are not affected by magnetic fields.

Mounting on a shelf or bookcase

To mount the speaker on a shelf or bookcase place

the rubber support pad in the desired location and

place the speaker centrally on the pad. The speaker

will adopt an appropriate vertical orientation thanks to

the profile of the support pad. (figure 2)

Mounting on the wall

We strongly recommend two people for the final part

of this job, one to hold the speaker and the other to

feed and connect the cable.

If you are running cable in the wall, the bracket can

also disguise the cable between its exit from the wall

and the speaker terminals, but only if the cable is

flexible enough. It is difficult to recommend a definite

maximum gauge, because cables vary significantly in

flexibility, depending on the insulation material. Solid

core cable is not recommended because of its lack of

flexibility and tendency to fracture when bent sharply.

4mm

or 10AWG is probably a practical maximum

and, if the two insulated cores have an additional,

common outer sheath, it should be removed from the

point at which the cable exits the wall.

You should determine and mark the position of the

wall plate, and therefore the correct exit point of the

cable from the wall, before routing the cable.

The wall bracket assembly consists of a wall plate to

which is attached a 'wave' shape cover. Disassemble

the two parts by sliding one against the other before

pulling them apart. Note that in use, the two parts may

be required to mate in a different orientation from that

supplied.

There are two mounting templates (up tilt and down

tilt), because the wall plate is offset from the centre

line of the speaker. Furthermore, the wall bracket

supplied allows the speaker to swivel through

30 degrees, but only towards the opposite side to the

thicker part of the wall plate. (figure 3)

The templates show the position of the wall plate in

relation to the outline of the speaker when facing at

right angles to the wall (i.e. not tilted).

Using a spirit level, offer the appropriate template to

the wall with the outline in the desired position of the

speaker and mark 4 screw positions through the

marked slots. Drill and plug the wall for 4mm (No.8)

screws. If running cable in the wall, the exit clearance

hole should be positioned as shown by the shaded

area on the template.

Run the cable in the wall if desired. If the wall is

drywall construction, leave approximately 30cm (1 ft)

of cable protruding from the wall. Excess cable may

be pushed back into the wall void as the speaker is

mounted. If the cable is chased into solid wall

construction, the excess has to be accommodated

behind the 'wave' cover, so it is better to trim the

cable to no more than 15cm (6 in).

Screw the wall plate to the wall in the orientation

shown in figure 4.

Attach the 4 self-adhesive clear rubber strips from the

bracket kit to the underside of the wave shape cover as

shown in figure 5.

Attach the wave cover to the back of the speaker

using an M6 screw and profiled washer. (figure 6) The

thicker side of the 'wave' cover should be positioned

on the opposite side to the direction of tilt (ie to the

bottom for upward tilt and to the top for downward tilt.
