K-SERIES SATELLITE SPEAKER

Attach the brackets to the speaker using the enclosed 3/4" wood screws. Use the pilot holes at the top center of the back baffle of the cabinet. Either of the matching brackets can be attached to the speaker. The bracket that attaches to the speaker must point down, and the bracket that attaches to the wall must point up. In both cases, the face with the printing must face out.

Then determine where you will locate your speakers. See Section 5 for guidelines on where to locate the speakers. Then, using the template sheet enclosed, mark holes on the wall where the brackets will be permanently mounted. Ideally, one set of these holes should go into a wall stud, to give you the greatest strength.

First, locate the center of the stud. Tape the four corners of the template sheet to the wall in the location you have selected, using a carpen- ter's level to make sure the line marked "LEVEL TEMPLATE TO THIS LINE" is level. The template sheet has locations marked for the two mounting holes needed to attach the wall bracket to the wall.

Once you are absolutely certain that you have the correct location, you are ready to drill the pilot holes. Go ahead and drill right through the paper template into the wall. Re-check your measurements (especially making sure the holes will be level) at least once before drilling.

WARNING: IT IS POSSIBLE THAT

ELECTRICAL WIRING MAY BE LOCATED BEHIND THE WALL IN THE LOCATION THAT YOU HAVE SELECTED. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL ANY TIME

YOU DRILL INTO A WALL.

(B)Proper orientation of the front of the speaker when it’s located above the listeners’ ear level. Notice the tweeter is located towards the bottom of the baffle.

If you are mounting the bracket to a wall stud, drill two 3/32" holes per bracket. Remember that the wallboard material is 1/2" or 5/8" inches thick, and you will drill through this before meeting the stud. If you are mounting the bracket to drywall with the plastic anchors, drill two 1/8" pilot holes per bracket, insert the plastic wall anchors into the 1/8" pilot holes and drive the anchor into place using a Philips screwdriver until they are flush with the wall. Once all holes have been drilled, remove the template from the wall.

Once the holes are drilled, place one bracket against the wall, making sure that the "tongue" (the portion that will engage the bracket on the speaker cabinet) is facing away from the wall and pointing up. Using the two #6 - 1 3/4" wood screws provided, fasten this bracket to the wall. BE VERY CAREFUL. DO NOT FORCE THE PLASTIC ANCHORS THROUGH THE WALL OR OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

That's it! All that is left for you to do is attach the speaker wire to the input terminals (Section 4), and, from the top, gently slide the speaker into place against the wall.

4. SPEAKER HOOK-UP

Please follow these instructions carefully, to avoid any possible damage to the speakers or your amplifier, and to get the best possible sound.

The sound quality of your speakers can be affected by the type of speaker wire that you use to connect them. While it is possible to use speaker wire as thin as 22 gauge to hook your speakers up, we recommend using the largest diameter wire that you can. This means a minimum of 18 gauge wire. Over 10 feet, you should use 16 gauge, and for more than 30 feet, we recommend using 14 gauge or heavier. The smaller the number, the thicker the wire.
