Installation
WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your speaker, ensure that the amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any
cables.
WARNING: Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing speakers to provide security of a backup
support. The secondary safety suspension must be independent of the primary suspension points and capable of carrying the total
system weight. The additional safety device must be mounted in a way that the speaker is caught by the safety device without any
drop and swing in the event that the primary suspension fails. Please consult the relevant construction codes in your region.
1. The procedure below describes the installation of the speaker into a typical stud wall or ceiling with drywall/plasterboard.
2. The mounting bracket and wiring can be preinstalled, and the speaker assembly added and wired to the Euroblock connector, at a
later stage.
3. Locate a suitable mounting position for the speaker, using a stud-finder.
WARNING: Make sure that there are no power lines, other cables, or plumbing such as water, sewer, gas lines in the chosen location.
4. Run the speaker wire from your amplifier to this location, leaving enough slack to allow for the connections.
5. Remove the yoke bracket from the speaker, by undoing the two thumb screws.
6. Remove the rear cover from the speaker, to expose the Euroblock terminals and transformer tap switch.
7. If the yoke bracket is to be mounted to a stud, then the screws must be long enough to enter into the wood and make a secure and safe
mounting position. Consult the relevant construction codes in your region.
8. If the yoke bracket is to be mounted to drywall or a solid masonary wall, then suitable screws and wall plugs must be used to make a
secure and safe mounting position. Consult the relevant construction codes in your region.
9. Secure the mounting bracket in place using screws. Check that the bracket is truely level, vertically or horizontally.
10. Follow the information on the next pages to connect the speaker wires to the Euroblock connector. Make sure to check that the
polarity is correct and that the positive and negative wires are securely and correctly connected.
11. Fit the rear cover in place on the speaker, and carefully align the speaker with the yoke bracket, and add the two thumb screws to hold
it in position. Adjust the angle of the speaker before finally tightening it in position.
12. Add and check the secondary safety suspension.
13. Thoroughly test the speaker operation with your sound system.
