Proficient Audio Systems F400BLK Mounting Procedure, Speaker Front, Rear Panel, Diagram Top View

Mount the speaker so that the side of the speaker closest to the display does not come into contact with the display (2- to 3-inches is a good working distance). Optimal distance from the side of the display will depend on the predicted listening position. Distance between the left and right speakers should as closely equal the distance from one speaker to the listener as possible. See DIAGRAM 2.

Center Channel Placement

Center the center channel horizontal speaker with the top or bottom width of the display. The center channel speaker may be mounted either above or below the display, depending on the placement of the display itself. The speaker placement is closest to the level of the listener’s ears is the recommended choice.

MOUNTING PROCEDURE

Follow the mounting procedure below. Use DIAGRAM 3 for visual reference.

Bracket and Speaker

SPEAKER FRONT

The F400 speaker components are configured symmetrically, achieving wide dispersion on both the horizontal and vertical planes. The low- frequency bass reflex design incorporates large radius port flares for lower turbulence, allowing closer proximity of the listener to the speaker.

The 1” pivoting tweeters can be positioned for optimal directivity. Low- and high-frequency contour switches allow ±3dB fine tuning of indi- vidual speaker frequency response. See sections, Pivoting Tweeter Adjustment and Contour Switch Settings, respectively, for more informa- tion.

REAR PANEL

The real panel contains the F400 Speaker Terminals. Speaker wire should be connected prior to securing the F400 Speaker to the mounting bracket. Before proceeding, make sure that power to the audio amplifier is switched OFF.
