Step 3: Wire the Speaker

A typical wiring configuration is shown in Figure 7. It is highly advisable to support the unit while these connections are being made. When mounting the speaker in a corner mount configuration, a right angle XLR connector such as Neutrik #NC3MRC or equiv. is required for the signal connections (see Figure 7). Connect the line level signal from the mixer, pre amplifier or other source into the line input connector. Plug in the power cord and connect the unit to a standard 120VAC power source.

The proper crossover setting is determined by the satellite speakers used. The following are general guidelines:

Satellite

bracket.

Step 4: Mount the Speaker to the Bracket

First remove the two Phillips-head screws on the rear of the enclosure. Use the supplied eyebolt to mount one mounting clip to the top of the speaker as shown in Figure 8. Check to make sure that the wiring connections to the amplifier and the satellite speakers are correct and secure.

For corner mounting

Attach the four rubber mounting feet to the front side edges, and secure the safety line to the eyebolt. Lift the enclosure up to the ceiling and center it back it into the corner until it touches the bracket rungs, then carefully lower it so the top clip hooks over the top rung of the bracket

(1). Insert one of the 3/8-16-thread Phillips-head screws through the remaining clip and, with the clip pointing up, thread the screw finger-tight into the lower mtg. hole on the enclosure (2, 3). Level the clip and tighten securely with a #3 right-angle Phillips screwdriver. Even though the
