Wall-Mounting the Micro Satellites

The Micro satellites may be wall-mounted using the included keyhole bracket.

1Install a #8 or #10 mounting screw on the wall (not sup- plied–consult a knowledgeable installer regarding the proper hardware to use on your wall).

2Attach the bracket to the back of the speaker with the machine screw and acorn nut as shown.

3If you are running wires behind the wall, make a 3⁄8" (9.5mm) wire hole, 13⁄4" (44mm) below the mounting screw for the wire.

The speaker may be angled for optimum coverage of the listening area.

An optional pedestal shelf stand/wall-mount bracket (Model MRB II) is available for the Micro90x II and Micro80x II that provides greater positioning flexibility. For more information, contact your dealer or Boston Acoustics directly.

Setting Up Your Home Theater System

Volume Levels: To obtain the best home theater effect, match the sound levels of each speaker. Home theater systems include a test signal that simplifies this level matching. Refer to the instructions provided with your surround sound electronics.

Center Channel Mode: Generally, with all surround systems, including Dolby® ProLogic® and Dolby® Digital, the center channel mode should be set to “NORMAL” or “SMALL.” This setting diverts low bass to the front left and right channels, and will result in the greatest total system bass output. The “NORMAL” or “SMALL” center speaker setting ensures the subwoofer receives the most bass information under all conditions. The “Phantom” setting, which presumes you do not have a center channel speaker, should not be used.

Surround Channel Mode: If your electronics have a surround channel mode, it should also be set to “NORMAL” or “SMALL.” This setting will divert any low bass in the surround channels to the subwoofer.
