Mounting your Outsider IIs

Mounting the speakers to a wall is not any different than mounting any

other object of comparable weight.

If you do not have experience mounting

objects to the wall, please ask for help from someone who does. Or, hire a
professional.

For best audio performance, we suggest mounting them on the same wall

facing the same direction, at least 6 feet apart. They can be mounted either ver-
tically or horizontally. If they are mounted horizontally, you may be wondering
whether to mount them with the tweeters inward or outward. This really depends
on the distance apart. If they are relatively close together, we suggest mounting
them with the tweeters outside. If you mount them far apart, we suggest mount-
ing them with the tweeters inwards (closest to the other speaker).

The supplied mounting brackets have 3 holes. The holes on the ends are

for wall or ceiling mounting. The hole in the center is for the speaker wire com-
ing from the wall.

Make sure your speakers cannot fall and cause injuries.

The best way to mount them is directly to a wall stud using a wood screw.

However, this is not always possible. In that case, we suggest using sturdy wall
anchors (a couple of examples are below).

Speaker Wire

1.Always shut off the power to all components before installing!

2. Use quality speaker wire. We recommend two-conductor wire with high

quality copper. You’ll also want to make sure that there is a means of de-
termining polarity (identifying the positive and negative strands). If the
wire will be exposed to sunlight, make sure the insulation is UV resistant.

3. All wire has resistance in it. The thicker the wire, the less resistance it
has. The less resistance, the better your speakers will sound. The thick-
ness of the wire should be determined by the length of the wire you are
using.
