NOTE: If your original surround speakers are located behind the
listeners, you should move them up so they are directly to the
listeners’ sides.
To remove a speaker’s base, pull it
straight of f the speaker, as shown in
the illustration. Applying even pressure
to both sides of the base will allow it
to slide off smoothly.
Wall-Mounting
IMPORTANT: Read the Speaker Connections
section, on page 5, before wall-mounting
the HKTS 30S AT-2 speakers. You will need to
insert the speaker wires through the wallmount brackets and connect the wires to
the speakers during the process of
installing the wall-mount brackets.
NOTE: If you are using your own speaker wire,
it must be no thicker than the wire supplied
with the speakers. Thicker wire will prevent
the wall-mount bracket from sliding onto the
speaker.
1. Decide on the location for the speaker
(see Speaker Placement, opposite).
2. Remove the speaker’s base as explained in
Shelf Placement, above.
3. Disassemble the wall-mount bracket by sliding the two
sections apart, as shown in the illustration.
4. Attach the wall portion of the wall-mount bracket onto
the wall using hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s
construction and materials. We recommend first anchor ing the wall-mount bracket using its keyhole, then
attaching it with another anchor through its top opening,
as shown in the illustration. Note that the HKTS 30SAT-2
speakers weigh 3.3 lb (1.5kg ). Be sure to use hardware
that can support this weight.
