Getting Started & WHO – Installer Skills and Tools

There are several related factors that must be considered before the installation of your Russound Advantage speakers:

WHO: Who is doing the installation, the homeowner, or a professional installer?

WHAT: What is the installation environment and the intended use (serious listening or background)?

WHEN: When will the installation be performed – during pre-construction or retrofit in an existing

home?

WHERE: Where is the best speaker location and where are the available speaker locations?

WIRE: Wire should be what gauge and what length? Can the speaker wires be run to the intended

location? Will there be any IR receivers mounted in any Iso-Mount speaker locations? If so,

what are the wiring requirements?

HOW: How are the speakers installed?

&Tilt speaker only)We suggest you read through this manual first before proceeding with installation to familiarize yourself with the entire installation process. If you then decide that installing your Russound Advantage Series Speakers is beyond your skills, call your Russound dealer to arrange for pro- fessional installation. Be ready to tell your installer if the speakers will be used for direct listening or for background sound, and to discuss the desired speak- er locations.

Note: For shipping, grilles are placed in protective card- board sleeves packed between the two loudspeaker assemblies. Use caution when unpacking as the card- board sleeves are also the cutout templates.
