Polarity Checking It is most important to check the polarity of the wiring.
6. Power Selection (i6T AW) Determine the maximum power in watts needed at each speaker location. The i6 AW transformer can be tapped at 30w, 15w, 7.5w, & 3.75w via the rotary switch located on the metal plate at rear of the loudspeaker. When the relevant tappings have been selected add the individual wattages required at all speakers and select an amplifier with a rating equal to or exceeding the total wattage required.
9. Hardware The i6AW can be wall or ceiling mounted using the MB6 (optional) bracket (fig 1.) which is designed to offer the maximum flexibility in selecting the desired angles. The MB6 is supplied with M8 bolts for fixing to the loudspeaker (fig1.& 2). After fixing the bracket to the wall or ceiling remove the plastic plugs from the top and bottom of the loudspeaker. Position the cabinet at the required angle as shown and tighten the M8 Bolts to fix the loudspeaker in position.
