FRONT SPEAKERS:
The pair of front speaker connections (left and right) on your amplifier will be labeled “Front” or “Main.” Connect the
speaker cables for your left and right front speakers using these terminals and then connect the cables to the front satellites. Observe positive
and negative polarities.
PC9.5 BI-WIRING:
The PC9.5 speaker is equipped with bi-wiring, with four speaker terminals instead of two. This may enhance speaker
performance by using an additional pair of speaker cables. In order to bi-wire this speaker, remove the gold-plated strips between the speaker
terminals and connect two cables between your amplifier’s positive output terminal and the two positive (red) terminals on the speaker. Then
connect the other two cables between the amp’s negative output terminal and the two negative (black) terminals on the speakers. If you
choose not to bi-wire your speakers, do not remove the metal strips between the speaker terminals. Connect each cable in the standard
manner, with one cable each between the positive and negative speaker terminals and your amplifier.
CENTER SPEAKER:
The center speaker connections on your amplifier will be labeled “Center” or “Center Channel.” Connect the speaker
cables for your center channel speaker using these terminals and then connect the cables to the center speaker. Observe positive and
negative polarities.
SURROUND SPEAKERS:
The pair of surround connections (left and right) on your amplifier will be labeled “Surround.” Connect the
speaker cables for your left and right surround speakers using these terminals and then connect the cables to surround satellite speakers.
Observe positive and negative polarities.
Premier Collection Surround speakers are marked with arrows indicating “left” or “right” to denote how
the speaker should point into the listening area. Make sure you are connecting the proper speaker to the
proper set of wires before mounting.
5
REAR SPEAKERS (USED IN A 7.1 OR 7.2 SYSTEM):
The pair of rear connections (left and right) on your amplifier will be labeled
“Rear.” Connect the speaker cables for your left and right rear speakers using these terminals and then connect the cables to the rear
satellite speakers. Observe positive and negative polarities.
[PC-SURROUND-II PLACEMENT AND MOUNTING]
The PC-Surround-II rear-effects home-theater speaker offers you wide latitude of acoustic performance, system options and speaker
placement (including wall, shelf and stand mounting.) Using the toggle switch located adjacent to the speaker terminals on the rear of
the cabinet, the speaker can be changed from bipolar to dipolar mode to suit personal listening preferences.
In bipolar mode, the PC Surround serves as a full range speaker system to meet the recommended technical specifications for rear
surround speakers in a Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-7.2 home theater systems. As a dipolar speaker, it offers the diffused, subtle effect of
out-of-phase drivers with a strong on-axis null polar pattern for more diffused surround effects.
In order for this effect to work in proper phase with the other speakers in your home theater they need to be placed in the proper
orientation. Whether they are mounted on a stand, shelf or hung upside down on a wall the direction the arrows point on the rear of
the cabinets will help you orient the surround speakers properly. For 5.1 systems when placed on a sidewall the arrows should point
forward toward the front main speakers. When placed on a rear wall the speakers should be oriented so the arrows point away from
each other. For 7.1 systems the rear speakers should be placed so the arrows are pointing toward each other . The side speakers remain
as mentioned above.
The convenient “Key-hole” style mounting bracket on the rear of the speaker can be used for surface mounting with the appropriate
mounting anchor. Please be sure that the anchor has a #8 or #10 screw head on it to properly fit the hanger. Other types of standard
speaker mounts may be used with the speakers as well. Please check with your Phase Tech dealer for recommendations.
Note: It is very important whichever method you use to be certain the mounting screws or anchors will support the weight of the speaker.
Self-stick rubber bumpers are provided with the PC Surround. A bumper should be attached to each rear corner of the cabinet. These
bumpers space the speaker away from the wall to allow clearance for your speaker wires.
