Manual

Unpacking the System

Carefully unpack the system. If there is any sign of damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery

service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use.

Placement Options

The SoundWare speaker can be wall mounted using the supplied hardware or simply placed on a shelf. If it is being placed on

a shelf you can simply attach the adhesive-backed rubber feet and connect the speaker wires.

Attaching the Pivoting Ball Mount

If you plan to use the mounting brackets you must attach the pivoting ball mount to

the speaker. Use the four supplied ﬂat-head machine screws as shown in the illustration.

Mounting the Wall Bracket

Brackets for mounting the speakers on a ﬂat wall or in a corner are supplied. One thing

that is not supplied is hardware to attach the bracket to the wall. Why? Because there

are so many diﬀerent kinds of surfaces on which the speakers could be mounted. It could be

basic drywall which may or may not have a stud behind it. It could be a wood panel or even a

concrete foundation wall. There is no one type of fastener that we could supply that would work

in all the possible situations. So taking into account the surface the speaker is being mounted on,

acquire the appropriate type of fasteners. You’ll need four for each speaker. If you’re not sure what type of fastener to use, take

the mounting bracket to a friendly hardware store, tell them about the wall you’re mounting the speaker on, and ask them to

recommend an appropriate fastener. Keep in mind the weight of the speaker.

Speaker Connection Polarity

All the speakers in a system must be hooked up with the same polarity or “in phase.” The terminals on the SoundWare

speakers are color coded to identify the “+” (red) and “–” (black) connections. All wire is marked in some way so you can tell

one conductor from the other. The marking may be a ridge molded into the insulation of one conductor, or it may have a

stripe on the insulation, or it may be color coded. Use the marking on the speaker wires to be sure that the “+” terminal of the

ampliﬁer is connected to the “+” terminal of the speaker, and “–” is connected to “–”, at every connection.

Connecting the Speakers

Separate the two conductors of the wire. Remove about /” of insulation from the

end of the wire. Push down on the top of the terminal to open the hole for the

wire. Insert the wire and release the terminal to secure it. Be sure there are no loose

strands of wire. Note: there is a channel in the back of the speaker for the wire (for

wires up to 18 gauge), to keep it neat and out of sight.

Mounting the Speakers

Once you have the bracket mounted and the speaker connected the rest is easy.

1. Put the rounded end of the speaker mount in the bracket and slide it down to

lock it in place.

2. Optional – Insert and tighten the screw to secure everything.

3. You may either hook the satellites’ speaker wires directly to your receiver,

or to the output speaker terminals on the subwoofer. The resulting sound

is the same.
