The enclosed mounting template will guide you in locating the mounting screws. In addition, it will ensure the minimum clearance to the ceiling as required by the mounting bracket.

Please Note

Mounting on Masonry, Adobe, and Similar Surfaces

Consult a knowledgeable installer about proper hardware. You will obtain best results with #8 screws.

Installation of surround speakers requires a thorough under- standing of construction tools and procedures. We recommend you consult a knowledgeable installer if you are unsure of the physical properties behind your walls.

Mounting on Drywall, Paneling, or Other Hollow Surfaces

Use the supplied 3-inch #10 machine screws and toggle wings. The toggle wings require a 9/16-inch (13mm) hole. Do not attempt to mount the SR30THX ’s to drywall with any of the commonly available plastic anchors (push-in inserts).

Mounting the Bracket When Using the Machine Screws and Toggle Wings

1.Drill two 9/16-inch (13mm) holes using the included template. If running wires behind the wall, make a hole for them as well.

2.Insert the machine screws through the bracket and thread onto the toggle wings before penetrating the wall.

3.Level the bracket and tighten screws.

4.Guide the wires through the back.

5.Place the SR30THX on the bracket and slide down until you hear a locking ”click.”

6. Connect the wires.

For Five-Channel Applications (including THX systems)

Select either surround mode with the toggle switch. When used with a THX receiver/processor, please select the "DIFFUSE-THX ULTRA2 MODE".

Connect a set of speaker cables to either set of inputs. You may want to consider running a second set of speaker cables for each surround if you think you may upgrade to a 7.1 channel system in the near future.
