Note: When you use the 1/4-inch wall- mount bracket, remove the screw on the back panel of the speaker so you can thread the ball shaft. For any other type of mounting bracket, use the mounting holes (indicated by the arrows) and leave the screw in place.

ATTACHING THE RUBBER FEET

Rubber feet are supplied with your speaker so it will not scratch your furniture. With the thicker feet (marked A) positioned toward the front corners of the speaker and the thinner feet (marked B) positioned toward the back corners, remove the paper backing and press all four feet onto the bottom of the speaker.

CONNECTIONS

With the speaker placed at the desired location, measure the distance from the speaker to the amplifier. Use 18-gauge speaker wire for a distance of 50 feet or less. For a distance greater than 50 feet, use a heavier 16-gauge wire.

For the maximum bass response and overall best performance, connect the speaker in phase (– to – and + to +).

Speaker wire is either color-coded, with a different color on each side, or coded with a ridge or stripe on one side to identify the wire’s different sides, making the connection process easier. RadioShack stores sell speaker wire to meet most needs.

Follow these steps to prepare the wire and connect the speaker.

1.Separate the wire con- ductors for a length of

about 2 inches, then remove about 1/2 inch of insulation from the wire’s ends using a wire stripper.

2.Push down the speaker’s black tab to open the negative (–) terminal and insert one of the wire’s conductors. Release the tab.

3.Push down the speaker’s red tab to open the positive (+) terminal and insert the wire’s other conductor. Release the tab.

4.Using the speaker wire’s coding as a guide, connect the other end of the speaker wire to the amplifier’s corresponding (right or left) speaker terminals.
