SPEAKER WIRING AND MOUNTING
Follow steps 1 through 6 and refer to
Illustration
on page 3.
Step 1
Connect the pigtail wire to the speaker wire protruding from
the ceiling. Observe the proper polarity with your amplifier (+
to + and – to –). Make sure to connect the proper speaker.
Left amp channel to left speaker, right amp channel to right
speaker, left rear amp channel to left rear amp speaker, right
rear amp channel to right rear speaker. Use the two wire nuts
to ensure a safe connection. See
Figure 2
.
NOTE:
Polarity for the
pigtail (speaker wires) is red for
+
and black for
–
.
Step 2
Fish the speaker and seismic wire protruding from the mounting
bracket through the beauty plate, then connect the pigtail to
the speaker wire protruding from the bracket. See
Figure 3
.
Step 3
The seismic wire was added for extra security during an earth-
quake. If you choose to use it, be sure to secure it to the stud
before moving on to step 4.
Step 4
Mount the beauty plate to either the standard junction box or
directly onto the stud. See
Figure 4
.
WARNING:
Never mount directly onto drywall. A set of good
quality wood screws and machine screws for junction box
mounting were included for your convenience.
CAUTION:
Extra care should be taken to avoid pinching the
speaker wires when securing the beauty plate.
Step 5
Now that the beauty plate is secured, attached the mount-
ing bracket/speaker onto the plate. Align the screw hole on
the plate with the screw hole on the bracket and secure them
together. The proper screw size for this step was included in the
packaging for your convenience. See
Figure 5
.
Step 6
The speaker cabinet is designed to rotate 45 degrees towards
the left or right position, and 90 degrees towards the rear. To
tilt to the desired position, simply rotate it by hand. The proper
tension has been pre-determined at the factory. This will allow
the cabinet to remain fixed in the desired position after tilting.
Over time the tension could decrease slightly, and may need
to be tightened. To do so, tighten the locking knob located on
the bracket using a pair of rubberized pliers or a
13
⁄
16
” wrench. If
using a wrench, extra care should be taken to avoid damag-
ing the finish. See
Figure 6.
