Experimentation is the key to finding the best arrangement in your listening environment. Be patient, have fun, and remember that small changes in speaker position can sometimes have a significant effect on the sound. In addition, room furnishings play an important role in absorbing and reflecting soundwaves. Midrange and high frequencies in particular will be absorbed by soft furnishings such as sofas, carpets and curtains. A large number of these soft furnishings will dull the sound, while a “live” room with few furnishings will brighten the sound. If you are willing to spend some time fine-tuning the performance of your system, you will enjoy the benefits for years to come.

„Wall Mount Bracket

Parts List (per speaker):

power drill with 1/8-inch bit

studfinder

level

Note: Whenever an object is affixed to a wall, you must take special care to mount it securely, to prevent it from falling and causing possible injury. THE HDP-2 MOUNTING BRACKET MUST BE ATTACHED TO STUDS, AS DRYWALL (SHEETROCK) ALONE CANNOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT. Make sure that the mounting bracket will not interfere with electrical wiring, plumbing, etc. IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT THE INSTALLATION OF THIS MOUNTING BRACKET, CONSULT A PROFESSION- AL CONTRACTOR. Follow the mounting instructions carefully to ensure proper installation.

1.Begin by selecting the desired area on the wall where the HDP-2 will be mounted, preferably at a minimum height of 6 feet. Using a studfind- er (or the old-fashioned “knocking” method), locate two adjacent studs, spaced 16 inches apart.

2.Using the supplied mounting template, mark the two screw locations, 16 inches apart and centered on the studs (Fig. 2). Use the level to ensure that the screw locations are lined up precisely.

3.Drill a 1/8-inch pilot hole into the wall for each screw. Be sure that the hole passes through the drywall and into the stud. If the hole does not reach a stud, re-position the screws and pilot holes until it does.

4.Insert one screw into each pilot hole. Screw all the way into the wall, until the screw head rests on the wall surface.

5.Loosen the screw 1 to 2 turns, so the bracket is able to slide down and the screw head will rest in the narrow section of the keyhole. The wall screws are now properly set.

6.Attach the four foam isolation pads to the back corners of the HDP-2 by peeling the backing paper and adhering them to the speaker surface (Fig. 3). These will prevent audible vibrations of the HDP-2 against the wall surface.

7.Attach speaker cable to the HDP-2. When possible in new construction applications, run the cable inside the wall and have it come out direct- ly behind the location of the HDP-2. If this is not possible, simply run the cable along the wall behind the HDP-2. The speaker cable must be a maximum of 1/4-inch thickness to fit betwen the wall and the HDP-2..

8.Hold up the HDP-2 so that the top keyholes are aligned with the wall screws (Fig. 4). The other keyholes are not used for this product. Carefully place the brackets over the screws so that the screw heads slide into the round sections of the keyholes. Slowly move the HDP-2 downward until the bracket has locked over the screw. Ensure that both brackets are securely mounted to their screws.
