3. Determine wire lengths and select the proper gauge

speaker wire to use based on the table under Wire Gauge

While these architectural speakers have been designed

to perform in a variety of environments, there are some

guidelines to follow to ensure that you will be getting the best

out of the speakers.

1. Read through the IMPORTANT!InstallationPrecautions

affect on the sound.

3. Determine wire lengths and select the proper gauge

speaker wire to use based on the table under Wire Gauge

by Distance.

4. Runallwiresfromtheamplierlocationtothespeaker

location so that they are available when the speaker

amplieratthistime.

5. For new construction ensure that all brackets are on hand

and installed in the walls before installing the speakers.

Install Pre-Construction brackets per instructions included

with the brackets.

6. For existing walls and ceilings position the included cutout

template onto the wall or ceiling and trace an outline onto

the wall. Ensure that the template is equal distance from

studs to allow for the XL-2 legs to fully extend. Use a stud
