Speaker Wires

For short runs of less then 20 feet or so you can use 16 gauge wire. But typically you should use heavier 14 gauge wire. That is good enough for runs up to 50 feet or so. For runs of more than 50 feet use 12 gauge wire.

Speaker Connection Polarity

All the speakers in a system must be hooked up with the same polarity or “in phase.”The terminals on the SoundWare speakers are color coded to identify the “+” (red) and “–” (black) connections. All wire is marked in some way so you can tell one conductor from the other. The marking may be a ridge molded into the insulation of one conductor, or it may have a stripe on the insulation, or it may be color coded. Use the marking on the speaker wires to be sure that the “+” terminal of the amplifier is connected to the “+” terminal of the speaker, and “–” is connected to “–”, at every connection.

Connecting the Speakers

Separate the two conductors of the wire. Remove about 3/8” of insulation from the end of the wire. Push down on the top of the terminal to open the hole for the wire. Insert the wire and release the terminal to secure it. Be sure there are no loose strands of wire. Note: there is a channel in the back of the speaker for the wire, to keep it neat and out of sight.

The SoundWare speakers pivot on their mounts. Vertically they can go from facing straight out to being tilted down 40 degrees. When the flat wall mounting bracket is used they can pivot side to side 20 degrees. (Note: Corner mounting will not allow the speaker to pivot side-to-side.) Loosen the pivot set screw on the front of the pivoting ball mount, pivot the speaker into position and retighten the screw.
