POSITIONING YOUR SPEAKERS The following suggestions assume you have some flexibility regarding where you place your speakers. A.

As long S100 as each surround speaker is on the left or right half 8 Ohms LEFT of the listening space, the speakers are will provide Made In China convincing, lifelike sound.
SPEAKER MOUNTING Hang the S100 directly on a wall: Install a No.10 screw in the wall so that its screwhead protrudes about 3/8 inch. Cambridge SoundWorks supplies screws and plastic anchors for your convenience, but it is the installer’s responsibility to insure the screw is securely mounted. Apply the soft, self-adhesive feet to back of the speakers. The feet protect the finish of the speakers or the surface and improve stability if the surface is not perfectly flat.
A small, purpose-built shelf can be used instead of BOTTOM OF SPEAKER hanging the speakers from a screwhead. In this case, we recommend you apply the soft, self-adhesive feet to bottom of the enclosures. The feet protect the finish of the speakers or the surface and improve stability if the surface is not perfectly flat. Apply the feet to the surface of the speaker opposite the MultiPole switch, in the pattern shown.
