Adjusting Rubber Bumpers (For Center Channel Models)

Attach supplied rubber bumpers to the bottom of the speaker as shown in the diagram. For positioning of speakers on top of a smaller surface (ie. top of TV cabinet) locate the bumpers on the bottom such that they all touch and support the speaker on the smaller surface. Bumpers across the rear of the cabinet can be left off to tilt the speaker slightly upward if located on a shelf below a screen. Bumpers across the front can be left off to slightly tilt the speaker down if located above a screen.

Wall Mounting S2 Surrounds

Attach supplied rubber bumpers to the lower rear panel of each speaker. Refer to the supplied template/instruction sheet to accurately and securely position the mounting hardware on the wall. The middle of the three mounting screws should be screwed firmly into a wall stud. The outer two screws should then use an appropriate dry-wall mounting fastener. If it is not possible to mount to a stud then proper drywall mounting anchors must be used. There are simple expanding plastic sleeves commonly used for mounting fixtures to dry-wall.These are not adequate and must not be used. Rather, choose one of the wide expanding, permanently captured style of wall anchors designed for mounting heavier loads to dry-wall.

Note: If you don't feel confident in such matters we strongly recommend that you have your dealer or a professional contractor assist you in the mounting of your surround speakers. The installer is responsible for the correct selection and use of mounting hardware (available through local hardware retailers) that will ensure the proper and safe wall- mounting of the speakers.

Whether you are enjoying a quiet evening of classical music or hosting a lively party with dynamic pop tracks, these speakers rise to the occasion without distortion, ensuring consistent clarity every time.

The Platinum Series also embraces innovative technologies like the Acoustic Refractor, which enhances the spatial qualities of sound by optimizing the speaker's interaction with the room. This technology aids in creating a more natural and enveloping listening experience, allowing the music to fill the space evenly.

Moreover, the Platinum Series features elegantly integrated binding posts that support bi-wiring and bi-amping configurations. This flexibility offers audiophiles the ability to customize their audio setup for even greater performance.

In conclusion, the PSB Speakers Platinum Series is a remarkable fusion of advanced technology and superior craftsmanship, offering a rich and engaging audio experience.
