About This Manual

Care in speaker placement and installation pays divi-

dends in optimum enjoyment. This manual provides

tips and instructions to help you get the most from

your loudspeakers. Please read through it carefully

before proceeding with the installation.

Installing the Outdoor loudspeakers is straightforward

and may be performed by an experienced 

do-it-yourself homeowner. However, some familiarity

with typical home construction is necessary.

This manual assumes the installer possesses skill in

the proper use of hand and power tools, a knowledge

of  local fire and building codes, and a familiarity with

the area behind the surfaces where the speakers are

to be installed.

INTRODUCTION

If you do not possess the necessary skills or are other-

wise not comfortable with performing a speaker sys-

tem installation, we strongly recommend you rely on a

qualified home entertainment system installer. Contact

your dealer, or Cambridge SoundWorks for assistance

in selecting a suitable installer.

Note:

Cambridge SoundWorks will not assume any

responsibility for the integrity of the attachment of the

speaker and it’s mounting brackets to it’s mounting

surface. The quality of the installation is solely the

responsibility of the installer.

Cambridge SoundWorks is not responsible for any

damage resulting from the installation or installation

process, or due to wiring or materials used in the

installation.
