The information provided will help you to obtain maximum performance from your audio system.

When used as front or rear satellite speakers, the VS-1.4’s should be arranged as symmetrically as possible. The speakers should be slightly toed-in and the drivers should face the listening area without obstruction from furniture. If possible, arrange the speakers so that the distance between the listener and the center or the speaker plane is about 1.5 times the distance between the two speakers (fig. 3). This configuration puts the listener in the center of the stereo image. For 5.
! Wall Mount Bracket Whenever an object is affixed to a wall, you must take special care to mount it securely, to prevent it from falling and causing possible injury. THE VS-1.4 MOUNTING BRACKET MUST BE ATTACHED TO STUDS, AS DRYWALL (SHEETROCK) ALONE CANNOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT. Make sure that the mounting bracket will not interfere with electrical wiring, plumbing, etc. IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT THE INSTALLATION OF THIS MOUNTING BRACKET, CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTOR.
fig. 6 (see Fig. 7). When mounting the VS-1.4 vertically, use the middle keyhole on each bracket, and make sure that the brackets are installed so that the narrow section of each keyhole faces the direction that will be “up” once the speaker is on the wall. When mounting the VS-1.4 horizontally, use the appropriate “up”-facing keyhole on each bracket, making sure that both brackets face the same direction. 8. Using the short screws, attach the brackets to the VS-1.4.
For a no-holds-barred home theater system starting with either of the above configurations, powered subwoofers may be employed on any or all five channels to provide balanced bass and increased impact. ! Connections Before connecting speakers to your system, it is very important that you turn off the power to your amplifier / receiver to avoid damage to the equipment. The VS-1.4 is compatible with virtually all quality amplifiers. Proper wiring of the speaker is essential to good sound.
