Axiom VP100 User Manual

VP100 On-Wall Center

Every member of our Axiom team is pleased that you have decided to purchase one of our products. We have all worked hard to
bring the highest level of satisfaction to your audio experience.

Axiom is deeply commied to ongoing audio research. It began in the early 1980s when I was involved with the world-class psycho­acoustical research that was being conducted at the National Research Council in Oawa, Canada. Since that time we have built
one of the nest acoustical laboratories in the world at our facility in Dwight, Canada where we continue this research allowing
Axiom to provide the world’s most realistic-sounding loudspeakers.

At Axiom our goal is to provide you with a truly exciting and emotional experience every time you listen to your audio system. We
want you to feel part of our Axiom family and as such we stand at the ready to deliver personal, expert advice on any of your audio
needs.

Sincerely,

Placement

Ideally, locate your center-channel directly below or above your television -- but no more than 12 to 18 inches higher than the set,
otherwise the sound will seem dislocated from the on-screen action. e Axiom On-Wall Speakers are designed to be installed on a
common stud wall, preferably fastened directly to a stud. If this is not possible the use of a suitable wall anchor (not included) will be
required.

Hookup

Turn the speakers around and look at the back panel. You’ll see gold-plated 5-way binding posts, to which you are going to connect the
speaker cables from your receiver or amplier. Each gold binding post is colour coded. RED is POSITIVE, BLACK is NEGATIVE.
You will also see a positive (+) sign engraved in the plastic beneath the RED binding post, and a negative (-) sign beneath the BLACK
post. Your amplier will likely have these same colours and/or symbols. Note: for surround and center channels the positive is likely
a dierent colour on your receiver or amplier. However, black is universally used for the negative (-).

Examine your speaker cables. ere will be something to dierentiate each wire in the pair of wires; the insulation may have color
coding, or one wire may be copper-colored while the other is silver-coloured, or there may be printing on one of the wires, or a ribbed
paern on the plastic insulation of one of the wires. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE ONE WIRE TYPE TO BE
THE NEGATIVE AND FOLLOW THAT THROUGH YOUR ENTIRE HOOKUP.

Power Bracket Installation

e Axiom Power Bracket provides easy wall mounting and electrical connections in one
innovative design. Simply connect your speaker wires, mount the bracket to the wall, and
hang you speaker. e negative is on the le side of the bracket and the positive is on the
right. Optionally you can use the standard binding posts. Each gold binding post has a
colored ring around it-- RED is POSITIVE, BLACK is NEGATIVE. Most receiver and
amplier manufacturers use this color code and you should use it as well--it makes things a
lot easier to hook up your speaker cables.

Step 1
Using a pencil and a level, draw intersecting horizontal and vertical lines on wall at
desired speaker location. Note: It is extremely important to place the center of the
Power Bracket up against a stud on the wall for security. Loosen clamps and insert
wires. Ensure positive (+) wire from amp is in (+) side of power bracket. Tighten
clamps.

Step 2
Place bracket on the wall and align with pencil lines. Install screws. Do not completely
tighten yet. Place a level on top of power bracket and make any necessary adjustments.
Tighten screws. Wash o pencil marks.

Step 3
Place the Wall Bumpers on the back boom corner of the speaker.

Step 4
Li your speaker over the Power Bracket and slide it down until the tabs on the back of
your speaker rest securely on the Power Bracket.

WARNING: Do not loosen bolts on
power tabs. Doing so will cause the
speaker to lose electrical connection
and render the speaker inoperable.
