Speaker Size

Many of today’s receivers allow you to tell the receiver what type of speakers you are using. This is important since you don’t want to waste the power across a full-frequency signal to a speaker that can only handle a limited range. Receivers will typically ask you whether or not the speaker is “small” or “large”. In most cases, setting the speaker to “small” will cause only frequencies above 100 Hz to be sent to the speaker. “Large” allows the full frequency range to be passed to the speaker. Some receivers take this a step further and actually allow you to set the cut-off frequency. HTD Level ONE speakers will almost always perform best when set to “small” or with a crossover point of 100 to 120 Hz.

In many receivers, setting a speaker to “small” automatically sends the low frequencies that would otherwise go to that channel to the subwoofer connected to the LFE channel. Check the “bass management” section of your receiver’s owner’s manual to be sure. This section should also address the options you have for utilizing the powered subwoofer in audio-only applications.

Mounting Brackets

HTD Level ONE Main Speakers include U-shaped wall-mount speaker brackets. Hardware is included for mounting where you have access to both sides of the wall or stud. You can also attach the speaker brackets to a stud from one side using 1 1/2” wood screws. For safety, always mount these speakers on a wall that is reinforced from behind. Never mount a speaker on a wall made of un-reinforced drywall or plasterboard. Consult a professional contractor if you are unsure. These speakers can also be placed on bookshelves and most types of speaker stands.

NEVER PLACE A SPEAKER WHERE IT, OR THE CABLE CONNECTED TO IT, ARE WITHIN EASY REACH OF CHILDREN OR PETS. ALWAYS USE GOOD JUDGEMENT AND COMMON SENSE WHEN PLACING A SPEAKER WHERE PEOPLE OR PETS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO IT AS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN OCCUR IF THE SPEAKER WERE TO FALL.

Warranty

All HTD Speakers carry a five-year parts and labor warranty. Details of the warranty and return authorization process are available on our web site. Your warranty registration occurred at the time your order was placed. There is no need to fill out additional forms.

From all of us at Home Theater Direct, thank you for choosing HTD!
