[GETTING STARTED AND PRECAUTIONARY NOTES]
For proper connection and therefore full enjoyment of your new Phase Technology
®
speakers, we encourage you to read this owners’ manual thoroughly,
even if you are very familiar with installing speakers. Speaker placement is very subjective. The proper spacing, location and adjustment of full-range
surface-mount speakers are critical for complete enjoyment of your new speakers. This manual covers these topics thoroughly.
NOTE:
When deciding upon a location, consider the following:
• Be certain your speaker wires can be run to or are accessible from these locations.
• Make certain the wall or ceiling material is sturdy enough to support the weight and vibration of the speakers.
• It is recommended that our mounting bracket
(part number AC-SPF15-MP)
be used whenever possible.
• Be certain the area behind the speaker is free of obstacles such as wall studs, electrical wiring, pipes, etc.
• Each speaker should be positioned properly, relative to the listening area for good coverage.
• Audio performance and room-to-room isolation will be improved if there is some fiberglass insulation placed loosely behind the speaker.

1. Unpack speaker.
4. Choose a secure mounting surface
with sufficient strength to reliably
hold the speaker.
5. Attach speaker to surface using
installer-supplied fasteners.
6. Aim speaker by pointing it up or
down and/or rotating it.
7. DONE!
3a. If mounting the speaker directly
over the wire, ensure the base plate
covers the hole in wall.
3b. If mounting speaker offset from
wiring point, run wire out hole in wall
and behind base plate through 2 mm
standoff gap between base plate and
wall. The standoff gap accepts up to
18 gauge flat signal wire.
2. Connect speaker wire leads to the
terminal screws on the back of the
base plate. Polarity is indicated.
[INSTALLING YOUR SPF-15]
1. Attach signal wire to terminal strip.
For daising chaining, attach additional
wires to positive and negative inputs.
3. The base is keyed to ensure proper
polarity. Be sure smaller post on rear
of SPF-15 connects to polarity key on
wall plate. Both are marked for easy
identification.
4. Attach speaker to mounting plate
with supplied fasteners. No wiring is
necessary because signal wire con-
tact made when speaker is screwed
in place.
2. Install the AC-SPF15-MP into
the installer-supplied junction box
using included fasteners. NOTE: The
AC-SPF15-MP will only fit into a
single-gang new construction junc-
tion box (will not fit in retrofit style
junction box).
