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.

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

your preference (see page 3).
