4.1
Choosing the Best Location
Before installing the speakers:
•
Experiment by placing the speakers in different locations before finally
deciding on the most suitable location
•
Be sure that the wall type is appropriate for the mounting brackets, that is,
either solid wood, bricks, concrete, hollow building blocks, or wood studs.
You cannot mount the brackets on gypsum walls
•
Check that the mounting location is free of obstructions, such as electrical
piping, AC ducts or water lines, and so on
4.2
Installing the Speaker Wires
To install the speakers, do the following:
1. Prepare the wires for the speakers:
Use two stranded 16-gauge speaker wires of similar length (for
achieving high quality sound)
It is recommended to use the Kramer BC-2S cables
Measure the length to reach from each speaker to the receiver, adding
some access wire length to let you easily remove the speakers from
the bracket without having to disconnect the input wires
2. Strip the ends of the wires approximately 3/8 inch.
3. Pass the speaker wires through the round hole in the mounting bracket.
