Dual 4” LCR Onwall Speaker

THE F400 CONTENTS

Each F400 package contains the following:

• One (1) F400 speaker for left, center, or right placement

• Mounting bracket hardware for vertical or horizontal wall mounting

• Installation Guide and Owner’s Manual

• Mounting Template

INSTALLATION QUICK START

The following is the recommended installation procedure:

1. Run the speaker cables (not included), preferably 14-gauge (or larger) high-quality unshielded stranded wire. Use bare wires on the speaker

end, or terminate the cables with spades (banana plugs may protrude too far from the back of the speaker).

2. Attach the speaker wires to the F400 input connectors (refer to Rear Panel section).

3. Mount the F400 speakers (refer to Placement and Mounting Procedure sections).

PLACEMENT

Mount one each of the F400 On-Wall Cinema Speakers vertically on the left and right sides of a flat-panel display for stereo operation. One

F400 may be mounted horizontally above or below the display as a center channel for LCR (left-center-right) cinema performance.

NOTE: The F400 speaker drivers are not magnetically shielded, therefore close proximity to a CRT display will cause interference.

Left/Right Placement.

It is recommended that vertically mounted speakers be centered with the left/right sides of the display. Alternately, alignment with the bot-

tom of the display may be desirable when the display is placed significantly above listening level. See DIAGRAM 1.

Mount the speaker so that the side of the speaker closest to the display does not come into contact with the display (2- to 3-inches is a good working distance). Optimal distance from the side of the display will depend on the predicted listening position. Distance between the left and right speakers should as closely equal the distance from one speaker to the listener as possible. See DIAGRAM 2.

Connect the speaker wires to the respective output of the audio amplifier (left output to left speaker, etc.). Connect the opposite end of the speaker wires to the rear panel Speaker Terminals, matching the polarity of the amplifier output to the speaker input, + to + (red) and – to – (black).
