Level the Speaker and Drive the Screws
After the wires are in the channel, be sure that the
speaker is level and then tighten the mounting
screws on both sides of the speaker into the mount-
ing surface behind the speaker. To avoid stripping
the screws, it may be necessary to drill pilot holes
before you begin to tighten the screws. For your ref-
erence, the mounting hole dimensions are 14.65"
center to center, and the distance between each
mounting hole under the end-caps is 2".
IMPORTANT NOTE:
coNEXTion Systems is
not responsible for the stability or instability
of your speaker installation. The sonoma™
Series speakers weigh between 8 and 10 lbs.
Depending on what material you are mount-
ing the speaker to, you and/or your install-
er will need to assess if the installation will
need additional “anchors”, etc. to hold the
weight. In the vertical orientation, mounting
to a stud is preferable.
Adjusting the Angle of the Speaker
After you have installed the speaker, you can ad-
just the angle of the tilt, up to 40 degrees, to ob-
tain a more directional setting to the listening area.
It is not necessary to angle the speaker earlier in
the installation. Open the end caps, and locate the
levers on each side. Unlock the lever by turning it
so that the lever faces in towards the speaker. Both
levers MUST be unlocked. Then carefully grip the
cabinet and adjust the tilt up or down in the hor-
izontal orientation, or left to right in the vertical
orientation. When you have reached your desired
angle, move the levers back to their original posi-
tion. Be sure to lock both levers.
NOTE:
Do not try to adjust the angle while
the levers are in the locked position, as this
may damage the mechanism.
A Note on the Grille
Please use care when removing and reinstalling the
grille on to the speaker. On the long sides of the
speaker, you will notice that there are catch chan-
nels for the grille. It is important to make sure that
the grille catches these at the same time that the
“ends” of the grille are snapped in.
The grille and the speaker should be cleaned with
a dampened soft cloth.
A Note on Painting the
Speaker and the Grille
The speaker may be left as is or painted to match
your décor. If you need to paint the speaker, be
sure to “mask-off” the driver, the passive radia-
tors, tweeter(s), and speaker connectors, so that
the paint does not come in contact with these
components. If you need to paint the grille, re-
move it from the speaker first. Spray painting (us-
ing slightly thinned paint) is the best method to
paint the grille. If you paint the grille, use air pres-
sure to “blow out” any grille holes that become
covered over with paint. Be sure to use paint that is
labeled safe for plastics. Many spray paints intend-
ed for use on wood or metal contain solvents that
may damage the speaker assembly. Also, do not
attempt to clean any plastic parts of the speakers
with solvents or any petroleum based products.
