Thank you for selecting Boston Acoustics®Micro speakers. Your speakers have been
designed to deliver years of stunning audio performance. Please keep your manual
in a safe place in case you need to refer to it later. Enjoy your new Micro speakers.

Description

Micro130x, Micro120x, and Micro110x Satellite Speakers

Micro satellites are ideally suited for use as main or surround speakers in a high
quality home theater or music system, or as extension speakers for another room in
the house. The included wall-mount brackets make installation easy, and
MagnaGuard®magnetic shielding allows placement next to a television.

MicroCenter and Micro110c Center Channel Speakers

The MicroCenter center channel speaker system delivers exceptionally articulate
on-screen dialog and effects from a small, sleek package. Point-source driver spac­ing and a low crossover frequency assure wide, uniform horizontal dispersion for
complete coverage of the listening area. MagnaGuard magnetic shielding ensures
the speaker’s magnetic field does not interfere with the television’s picture.

Wall-Mounting the Micro Satellite Speakers

The Micro satellite speakers may be wall-mounted using the included wall-mount bracket.

• Install the two mounting screws with wing nuts on the wall using the wall-mount bracket as
a template for the holes. Be sure that the wall will hold the weight of the speaker, if unsure
please consult a knowledgeable installer.

• Attach the wall-mount bracket to the bottom of the speaker with the machine screw as
shown.

The MicroCenter and Micro110c can be wall-mounted with the optional UMB1 (see below).

How to Wire Your Speakers

It is important that you wire your speakers correctly to obtain the best sound qual­ity and the proper stereo image. Wiring should just take a few minutes, but it’s
important to do it carefully, since incorrect wiring (such as reversed connections)
can result in a poor soundstage or poor bass.

We recommend using 18-gauge (1.0 mm) or larger speaker wire for runs up to 25
feet (8m), and thicker 16-gauge (2.0 mm) or larger for longer runs. Strip
of insulation off the ends of each speaker cable to expose the two conductors and
tightly twist the wire strands. Maintain consistency of the + (red) and – (black) con­nections by using the markings on the wire.

IMPORTANT: Typically, one side of the wire is smooth. Connect this side to the –
(black) connection. The other side has a rib or stripe. Connect this to the + (red)
connection.

Using the five-way binding posts: The binding posts permit easy connection to
banana plugs, pins, spade lugs, and bare wire. The metal surfaces are gold
plated to prevent corrosion. Insert the wire in the hole and tighten.

WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, always switch off the amplifier or receiver
when making connections to the speaker.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to hook + to +, – to –.

Setting Up Your Home Theater System

Volume Levels: To obtain the best home theater effect, match the sound levels of
each speaker. Home theater systems include a test signal that simplifies this level
matching. Refer to the instructions provided with your surround sound electronics.

Left/Right Channels and Subwoofer (Micro110x and Micro120x): The sub­woofer should be wired to the receiver through both the left/right speaker outputs
and the LFE. Using this configuration allows the frequencies below the satellite
speakers frequency response and above the LFE setting to be reproduced by the
subwoofer. On your receiver’s setup menu, set the left/right speaker mode to
"SMALL" and "SUBWOOFER-ON". Set the lowpass crossover on the subwoofer
to 150Hz for the Micro110x and 125Hz for the Micro120x.

Note: Boston PV subwoofers have been designed to accept both speaker
level and LFE inputs at the same time. If you are using a different brand sub­woofer, it is recommended that you contact the subwoofer manufacturer to
verify that it will function in this configuration.

Left/Right Channels and Subwoofer (Micro130x): The subwoofer should be
wired to the receiver using only the through LFE. Wire the left/right speakers to
only the speaker outputs on the receiver. On your receiver’s setup menu, Set the
left/right speaker mode to "SMALL" and "SUBWOOFER-ON".

Center Channel and Surround Channel Speakers: Set the center channel and
surround channels to “SMALL.” This setting diverts low bass to the LFE channel,
and will result in the greatest total system bass output.

Listening Levels and Power Handling

The power recommendation for the system assumes that you will operate the
amplifier in a way that will not produce distortion. Any speakers can be damaged
by a modest amplifier if it produces distortion. If you hear a harsh, gritty noise, turn
down the volume. Prolonged or repeated operation of your speaker with a distort­ed signal from the amplifier can cause damage that is not covered by the warranty.

If Service Seems Necessary

First, contact the retailer from whom you purchased the speaker(s). If that is not
possible,

write to: Boston Acoustics, Inc., 300 Jubilee Drive, Peabody, MA 01960.

or email us at: [e-mail]

We will promptly advise you of what action to take. If it is necessary to return your speaker
to the factory, please ship it prepaid. After it has been repaired, we will return it freight
prepaid in the U.S. and Canada.

Montaje en la pared de los altavoces satélite Micro

Los altavoces satélite Micro pueden montarse en la pared usando el pedestal a tal efecto que
se incluye.

• Coloque los dos tornillos de soporte con las tuercas de mariposa en la pared usando el
pedestal para montaje en pared, como plantilla para los orificios. Compruebe que la pared
pueda sujetar el peso del altavoz; si no está seguro, consulte a un instalador experimentado.

• Coloque el pedestal de montaje en pared en la parte inferior del altavoz con un destornil­lador, como se indica.
