Problem Solving

Troubleshooting

Installation

The FS6 can be mounted on a surface, such as a wall or mounted in a bookcase or under a shelf.

Mounting on a desk top or bookshelf

1.  For quick installation on a desk top or bookshelf, simply place on a desk, shelf or other flat surface as desired.

2.   Route the speaker wire to the speakers.

3.   Strip the ends of the wire approximately 5/8 inch (15 mm) and twist the bared strands. 

4.  Insert the wire into the speaker terminals, observing the correct polarity (

+

 wire to 

+

 terminal and 

-

 wire to 

-

 terminal).

Mounting on a wall, ceiling or other flat surface

1.  If mounting to drywall, use a stud locator to find the studs in the wall.

2.   Mark the location of the mounting bracket’s 

 two mounting holes on  

 

the  stud line and drill pilot holes.

3.   Place the mounting bracket 

 against the wall, aligning the screw 

 

holes with the pilot holes in the wall and secure it with two screws 

 (not 

included).

4.  If they are attached to the speakers, remove the circular end caps 

       

 

from the top and bottom of the speakers 

 by rotating them 

 counter-clockwise.

5.   Gently slide the speaker 

 into the mounting bracket 

 and secure    

it by replacing the circular end caps 

 through the mounting bracket   

and into the top and bottom of the speaker, rotating them clockwise until  
fully seated.

6.  Route the speaker wire to the speakers.

7.   Strip the ends of the wire approximately 5/8 inch (15 mm) and twist the  
 bared 

strands. 

8.  Insert the wire into the speaker terminals, observing the correct polarity  
 

(

+

 wire to 

+

 terminal and 

-

 wire to 

-

 terminal).

NOTE:

  Before starting installation, ensure the wall and wall material is 

capable of supporting the combined weight of the speakers and the wall 
mount assemblies.
