Entra Point Five speakers are designed to mount directly to
a wall. Each satellite speaker has a keyhole on the back. Each
speaker will require (1) 1-1/2," #10 wood screw fastened to
a wall stud. If a wall stud is unavailable, install an anchor
appropriate for a 1-1/2," #10 screw.
NOTE:
The customer is responsible for the correct selection
and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware
stores) that will ensure the proper and safe wall-mounting of
the speakers.
Step 1.
Mark the position on the wall where you would like to place the
mounting screw.
Step 2.
Fasten (1) 1-1/2," #10 wood screws to the wall using the
markings placed in Step 1 as your guide. Leave a 11/16" space
between the wall and screwhead. If a wall stud is not available,
use an appropriate anchor.
Step 3.
Place the speaker on the wall by aligning the keyhole on the
back of the speaker to the screwhead on the wall. Once
positioned properly, the speaker should slide down slightly and
become secure.
The Entra Point Five also allows the use of third-party wall
brackets using the 1/4"-20 threaded insert located beneath the
keyhole mount. Consult the wall-bracket manufacturer for
selection of proper bracket.

Turn Off All Power
After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your
system. First, turn off all audio-system power. Use high-quality
speaker wire to make your connections. Use at least #16-gauge
speaker wire with polarity coding. The side of the wire with
a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity
(i.e., +). Also, consult the owner’s manuals that were included
with your amplifier or receiver to confirm connection
procedures.
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown
in Figure 5. Connect each + terminal on the back of the
amplifier or receiver to the resp (red) terminal on each
speaker. Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.
Important!
Do not
reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making
connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished
bass response. Be certain that positive and negative wire
strands are completely isolated to avoid short circuits that may
damage your equipment.
Figure 5. Wiring diagram shows polarity connections for one channel
of a home theater system.
The satellites feature terminals that can be connected in several
different ways: e.g., banana plugs, spade terminals and direct
wiring (as shown here).
