13.When the wall mounting bracket is securely screwed to the wall, line up the speaker’s protruding Mounting Screws with the keyhole slots on the wall mounting bracket. Let the speaker slide straight down, allowing the screw heads to slip behind the smaller end of the keyhole slots. Gently push the bottom front edge of the speaker toward the wall until the speaker snaps onto the lower lip of the bracket.

Mounting the SSA to an articulating TV bracket

If you have a Plasma or LCD TV that is attached to the wall via a swing-out articulating bracket such as those offered by Chief, Sanus and OmniMount, the SSA speaker may be attached to the bracket without using the SSA wall-mount plate. Simply use 14"–20 screws to attach the SSA speaker directly to the TV bracket. Consult the TV bracket manufacturer’s user manual for more specific speaker mounting instructions.

Using the Leveling Feet

If you are going to use the speaker on a TV, shelf or table, first attach the wall-bracket to the speaker as described above. Attach the two “L” brackets to the wall-bracket using two M4 x 10 mm screws provided. Thread the foot screws into the two “L” brackets and adjust to the required height.

Connecting the SSA

or receiver to the red (+) terminal on your speaker and the wire from the black (–) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the black (–) terminal on your speaker. Most speaker wire has some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency. It is essential to connect all channels

of the speaker to the amplifier in the same way (in phase). If you experience a poor surround effect, it is likely that one or more of the chan- nels is connected in incorrect polarity and needs to be rewired.

Pay close attention and connect positive to positive; negative to negative on all channels.

SPEAKERS

If you have a 6.1 or 7.1 channel receiver, connect the SSA’s surround channel inputs to the “Surround” outputs of your receiver, not the “Rear” or “Surround Back” outputs.

To connect wire to the binding post [see figure above], unscrew the knurled nut and insert the bare wire into the hole near the base of the binding post. Do not insert the insulated part of the wire into the hole as this will not give you a good connection. Twist the nut back down the binding post until it firmly meets the wire. Do not over tighten.

Connect a single RCA cable from the “SUB OUT” of your receiver to the LFE input of the subwoofer (not included). This connecting method bypasses the subwoofer’s internal “crossover” or low pass filter and relies on the crossover filter built into your receiver.

NOTE: Make no other signal connections. Do not use speaker wire to make the connection to the subwoofer
