The Floor Stands

Mounting The Speakers

P

The rear satellites (with their
Desktop Stands attached) may be
installed in their floor stands.
1. Two of the six floor stand legs

have a full length slot, with short
notches opposite the slot at each
end. The slot allows the satellite
cable to be concealed. Insert a
satellite cable inside one of these
legs by feeding it down the length
of the full length slot. At each
end, feed the cable through the
short notches (see 

Diagram M

).

2. Insert the satellite end of the leg/

cable assembly into the 

middle

socket of the apex joint. Make
sure the satellite cable exits
through the short notch and
not the full length slot (see

Diagram N

).

3. Insert the two solid legs into the

outside 

sockets in the apex joint.

4. Slide the back edge of the

satellite’s desktop stand into the

front 

of the slot in the apex joint

(be sure there are no feet attached
to the base of the desktop stand).

The front of the slot is the side
further away from the rear leg
socket. Make sure the stand is
securely pressed into the slot.

5. At the base of the rear leg, gently

pull on the satellite cable to
remove any unnecessary slack in
the cable.

6. Insert a rubber plug into the base

of each leg, taking care to feed the
cable out the short notch in the
rear leg (see 

Diagram O

).

Screw Mounting: The Satellite and
Center Channel speakers may be
hung on a wall using a No.10 screw
and their keyhole openings.

First attach four self-adhesive feet

to the back of each satellite (see

Diagram P

), Insuring a vibration-

free, secure installation. Leave

" of the screw-head exposed

to fit into the back
of the speaker.

Plastic anchors may be needed

to secure the screws into particu-
larly hard or soft material. If so,
drill the appropriate sized holes in
the wall and tap the anchors into
the holes until they are flush with
the wall. Insert the screws into the
anchors until they protrude
