12.The screws should pull the frame and bracket together (sandwiching the drywall) so that the frame is flush with the wall surface.
13.Strip 1/4” of insulation from the end of each wire.
14.Tightly twist the end of each wire until no frayed ends remain.
15.Attach the speaker wires to the speaker terminal connectors. Connect the negative output from the amplifier to the black terminal. Connect the positive output from the amplifier to the red terminal.
16.Set the speaker configuration switches on the rear of the speaker (see Setting the Speaker Configuration Settings).
17.Install the speaker in the frame. Screw the enclosed self-tapping screws into the dimples of the speaker baffle as shown in Figure 2.
18.Repeat steps 1-17 for each speaker being installed.
19.After making tonal adjustments on all speakers (see Setting the Speaker Configuration Settings), install the grill into the speaker.
SETTING THE SPEAKER CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
Crossover Mounted Switches
LST-CTR OAC Switch
The crossover on the back of the LST-CTR enables you to defeat the Off-Axis Compensation (OAC) feature. Defeat OAC when the speaker is mounted at ear level directly in front of the primary listening position, as would be the case when the speaker is mounted behind a perforated projection TV screen.
LST-RLS Main/Surround Switch
The crossover on the back of the LST-RLS enables you to configure the speaker for best performance as either a front “main” speaker or rear “surround” speaker. When the LST-RLS is used as a surround speaker, set the switch to the “Surround” position to provide a diffuse sound field which provides a more convincing illusion of sound all around the listener. When configured as a surround speaker, the orientation of the tweeter is no longer critical.
Front Baffle Switches
LST-CTR Acoustic Fine Tuning
The front-mounted switches on the LST-CTR enable the speaker to be optimized regardless of positioning or room acoustics by providing 3dB of Treble Cut and 3dB of Dialog Enhancement. Start by listening to the speaker in the normal mode (switch is in the “out” position). If the sound seems to have too much treble, depress the switch labeled Treble Cut to reduce the amount of high frequencies.
If you desire to make dialog more pronounced, depress the switch labeled Dialog Enhance.
LST-RLS Acoustic Fine Tuning
The front-mounted switches on the LST-RLS also enable the speaker to be optimized regardless of positioning or room acoustics. They provide 3dB of Treble and Bass Cut respectively. Start by listening to the speaker in the normal mode (switch is in the out position). If the sound seems to have too much treble, depress the switch labeled Treble Cut to reduce the amount of high frequencies. If the sound has too much low frequency output (because it is placed near a corner perhaps) depress the switch labeled Bass Cut.
