2 Contents & Introduction
WARNING!
• Refer servicing to a qualified technician.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose this module to moisture.
• Turn amplifier off should any abnormal
conditions occur.
• Do not drive speaker beyond its rated power.
Placement
To achieve maximum performance, it is recommended that
the Voyage not be installed near a room corner or directly
behind furniture. When used as a front left/right channel, it
is recommended that the listening position be no closer to
the wall then the distance between the speakers.
Horizontal Installation
Although most users will mount the Voyage in a vertical
orientation, it can also be mounted in a horizontal orientation (for use as a center channel). If you plan to use
the Voyage in a horizontal orientation, it will cross drywall
studs and the wall will require modification. A bonded
contractor should be contacted to mount the Voyage in a
horizontal orientation.
Installing the Voyage
INSTALLATION
NOTE: These instructions must be carefully followed to
assure that your Voyage is safely installed. Study them
thoroughly before installing your Voyage's.
NOTE: The following instructions assume the mounting
surface is of standard wood frame and standard sheet rock
construction. If you wish to mount the Voyage to another
type of material, you should consult a bonded contractor.
Warning! Before installing check
for
obstructions behind the drywall
(electrical, plumbing and other
fixtures). To do this make a small
hole, cutting at a 45° angle (this
will make the hole easier to patch
if obstructions are found). Only
cut the mounting hole after
you have verified there are no
obstructions behind the wall.
