Wall-Mounting the Satellites and Center Channel The CS360 satellites and center channel are designed to be mounted on the wall. There is a fixed-mount wall bracket and an adjustable wall bracket provided for each satellite and the center channel. Each speaker bracket will require up to four 38 mm (1-1/2") #10 wood screws; each screw should be fastened to a wall stud. If a wall stud is unavailable, install an anchor appropriate for a 38 mm (1-1/2") #10 screw.

Use the speaker wire included (or similar) to make your connections. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +). Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 5.
