  Mounting the loudspeakers

Mounting Procedures

The R-18i and R-17i loudspeakers are designed 
to be mounted on the wall. The packaging box 
contains a mounting kit consisting of: 

- White cardboard mounting template 
- Metal mounting bracket 
- Drywall screws with plastic anchors. 

1. Determine your exact loudspeaker location by 

studying the diagram on page 7 and considering 
other  aspects  of  your  room  and  listening 
conditions.

2.  Using  a  measuring  tape  and  level,  position 

enclosed cardboard template according to the 
loudspeaker  model  and  mounting  orientation. 
Left  and  right  main  and  rear  loudspeakers 
must be mounted vertically. The center channel 
loudspeaker  should  be  mounted  horizontally 
unless  you  can  mount  it  behind  a  perforated 
screen  in  vertical  position.  Position  the 
template  with  TOP  OF  THE  SPEAKER  mark 
appropriately.

3. Mark positions of the four mounting holes using 

holes in the template.

4. Drill pilot holes in the wall using 1/8” drill bit.

5.  Install  the  four  plastic  anchors  in  the  wall  in 

marked points. 

6.  Install  the  metal  bracket  using  enclosed 

screws. 

7. Connect the speaker wire to the loudspeaker making sure the positive wire 

goes to the red binding post and the negative wire goes to the black binding 
post.
