Unpacking System Components
• Keep the original carton and packing materials for future shipment or
storage.
• Check for any visual signs of damage. If you encounter any concealed
damage, consult your Earthquake Sound dealer before proceeding with unit
installation.
• Retain the sales receipt as it establishes the duration of the limited warranty
and provides information for insurance purposes.
System Installation Considerations
There are several factors to consider before installing Earthquake Sound’s
Shell Shoxx.
• What are the intended listening zones?
• What system options and accessories might be required for features such
as local sources, etc.?
• From where in each zone will the listener prefer to control the system? Where
will the remote gains be located? Where will the speakers be located?
• Where will the source equipment be located?
Connection Tips
• Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent humming from
induced noise.
• Choose reliable signal cable cords (Earthquake Sound also specializes in
high-performance RCA cables and patches).
• All speaker wires that are ran through the walls should be twisted to reduce
potential hum noise pick up.
• Label both ends of all wires with the corresponding room location.
• It is best to use a grounded electrical outlet to power the amplifier. Lack of
input ground reference could be unsafe. Consult your electrical contractor
about proper grounding.
