The included metal grilles are held to the front of the enclosures with pow- erful neodymium magnets. There are depressions on the back of the grille that the magnets fit into.Once the speakers are in their final position,remove the grille from its protective plastic bag and carefully position it over the magnets on the baffle. Move them together slowly and when you get close enough, the magnets will draw the grille in and hold it tight. Be careful not to get your fingers caught between the grille and the cabinet.

NOTE: You will notice a threaded insert in the bottom of the LR sat- ellites. This is for bolting the satellites to speaker stands that utilize a through hole in the middle of the stand’s top plate. Use a 1/4” x 20 bolt to secure the LR to the stand.
