Setup and Operation
Your FS-Series Monitor Speakers may be used as free-standing speakers, or attached to a
wall or other secure surface with the supplied mounting bracket. The illustration below
shows the preferred method of securing the speaker.
WARNING: under no circumstances should any loudspeaker be mounted or suspended
in a public place unless the mounting method has been approved and certified by a
qualified engineer. Failure to properly secure the system can result in damage to the unit
or personal injury.

Connecting your Speaker System
Always switch off the power to the amplifier before connecting speakers.
Choosing the Correct Speaker Cable
It is important to choose cabling designated for audio use and good quality connectors.
Using guitar cable or zip cord (designed for lamps and other electrical use) or poor
quality connectors will degrade your loudspeakers’ audio performance. For distributed
loudspeaker systems, we recommend stranded twisted pair speaker cable with an
overall vinyl jacket (plenum rated when installed in required installations).
Always use the appropriate gauge of speaker cable. For cable runs of less than 25 feet
(7.5 meters), 18- gauge cable is adequate. For longer cables, we suggest 16-gauge
stranded cable.
Speaker Connection Procedures
After removing approximately 10mm (1/4-inch) of insulation from the ends of the speaker
cables, twist the strands tightly and then twist together with the distribution cable(s), using
an appropriate cable connector.
Make certain the wires do not protrude from the cable connector and touch any metal
on the speaker chassis, or any other adjacent metal.
Maintaining Proper Polarity
It is very important to wire your speakers consistently in order to maintain proper
polarity. All quality cables are manufactured with clear markings to identify the
different conductors – normally by color-coding, printed markings, or textured ribbing
on the cable’s jacket material. Failing to do so will cause your speakers to operate
out of phase, resulting in significantly reduced low-frequency output from your
system.
Choosing the Correct Amplification
When selecting an amplifier for use with your distributed speaker system, it is important to
choose an amplifier which has sufficient power output.
Choosing an amplifier that does not have adequate rated power may result in pushing
the amp beyond its limits, producing distortion or “clipping” of the signal. This can irritate
the listener and may cause damage to the speaker.
Choosing an amplifier that is over-powered can result in over-driving the speaker system.

Using Multiple Loudspeakers
It is important to consider the overall speaker load (impedance) when connecting
distributed speaker systems to an amplifier. Some distributed loudspeakers are marked in
load impedance; others show the wattage taps. Whatever the case, it is easy to
compute the total impedance (or wattage load) that is possible for a given amplifier.
