[WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS]
It is prudent to take a few extra minutes to carefully inspect and measure
the wall where you intend to mount the TFS1.0 or TCE1.5 speakers and
your flat panel display. An inspection of the room, or rooms, that back up
to the wall you have selected for mounting the speakers can often alert
you to potential obstacles. An
electronic stud-finder
is a useful tool to
assist you in selecting the speaker placement, but be cautious as they
often give false readings. For example, if the wall you want to mount to
happens to be the common wall for a bathroom or kitchen, there is a good
chance you will encounter water or sewer pipes in the wall that will not be
detected by a stud-finder. It is recommended, that wherever possible, you
try to fasten these mounting brackets to a vertical stud with the appropriate
wood screws. If it is not possible to mount the brackets over the studs then
it is recommended that the appropriate hollow wall anchors or toggle bolts
be used to mount the speakers.
STEP 1- FRONT CHANNELS
Determine that the desired mounting location is safe and clear of any
physical obstructions that might hinder the proper installation of the
speakers. If the flat panel monitor is already installed on the wall you can
use it as a guide for the installation of the speaker. For the best appearance,
it is recommended that the speakers be installed symmetrically next to the
monitor. The TEATRO’s response characteristics will be best if you mount
it within a few inches of the flat panel display.
NOTE:
Special consideration must be taken to run two (2) sets of speaker
leads for each of the TCE1.5 speakers. One pair each will be connected
to the Front left and right channel output on your amplifier and the other
two pair will be used for the Center channel and be connected together in
parallel at the amplifier. Be certain that you can get the speaker wire to the
locations where you plan to mount the speaker systems.
Please note that the TEATRO
®
speakers are designed to mount very
close to the wall and the brackets only allow about .5” of clearance so be
certain to make allowances for this with your speaker connectors and wire
clearances.
We suggest that you use a minimum of AWG 16 stranded wire. Pre-run
your speaker wire to the determined locations and be certain to leave
about two feet of extra wire for the final speaker installation. If the flat
panel monitor is not yet mounted to the wall, mount the display first before
mounting the speakers.

STEP 2A- VERTICAL WALL MOUNTING HANGER BRACKETS
For the best audio experience, the TEATRO speaker should be centrally
aligned and mounted directly next to the TV display. Each speaker comes
with two identical Mounting Brackets and these should be mounted to the
wall centrally located next to the TV monitor
(Figure 1)
.
First locate the horizontal center line of your TV display and make a light
pencil mark on the wall that is 3 1/2” from the side edge of your display.
Next, measure above and below this mark and make another mark at these
points per the diagram for the TEATRO
®
speaker you are installing.
(Figure
1)
. Repeat this process on the other side of the display – making sure that
these marks are level with the marks on the opposite side. This will create
four (4) marks that are locations for the hanging brackets.
Using a 1/16” drill bit, drill a pilot hole at each of your two marks above.
Place one of the wall brackets on the wall and align the pilot hole with the
bottom slot on the bracket and drill a second pilot hole in the center of the
upper slot on the bracket.
(Figure 4)
. This hole will be 7/8” above the first
pilot hole. Repeat this process for the bracket on the other side. These
pilot holes will let you know if your mounting bracket location is over a wall
stud or not. If it is over a stud then that bracket can be installed with a
suitable screw (for mounting on sheetrock walls, we recommend at least a
#10 x 1.5” pan head screw and a flat washer between the screw and the
bracket). If the location for the bracket is not over a wall stud, then suitable
drywall anchors that can support 15 lbs. each must be used.
Once they are installed check that the center distance between the vertical
mounting slots on the two sets of brackets is exactly 11 1/4” for the TFS1.0
or 17” for the TCE1.5. Adjust the brackets with the vertical slots until the
correct distance apart.
STEP 2-B – HORIZONTAL WALL MOUNTING
The Teatro speakers may also be installed horizontally to a wall. The process
for a horizontal installation is similar to the vertical installation except for the
mounting measurements. If you are locating the speakers below a TV first
locate the center line of your TV display and make a light pencil mark on
the wall that is 2” below the bottom of your display.
BRACKET MOUNTING DISTANCE CENTER TO CENTER
TFS1.0 11 ¼” C-C, 5 5/8” FROM CENTER
TCE1.5 17” C-C, 8 ½” FROM CENTER
Next, measure to the left of this mark to the bracket center distance as
noted in the reference table and make another mark at that point. Make
sure this mark is also 2” below the TV. Repeat this process on the right side
