Listening Levels and
Power Handling

IMPORTANT:  

Adjusting Listening Volume.  To obtain the best home theater effect, balance the

sound level of each speaker.  Home theater systems contain a test signal that simplifies this

procedure.  Refer to the instructions provided with your surround sound electronics.

The power recommendation for the speaker assumes the amplifier is not overdriven, which, over a

long period, can damage even our rugged speakers.  If you hear a harsh, gritty noise on peak levels,

turn down the volume control.  Prolonged or repeated operation with a distorted signal from the

amplifier can cause damage to the speakers, which is not covered by the warranty.

2. Drill all holes as indicated.  Insert the

machine screws through the bracket and

thread them onto the toggle wings before

penetrating the wall.  Push the toggle

wings through the holes in the wall.

3. Level the bracket and tighten the screws.

Connect the wires to the terminals and hang

the speaker on the brackets, so the DIRECT

or DIFFUSE arrow on the label points to the

front of the home theater area according to

your preference (see page 3).
