Safety Instructions For Fixing Your Vector Loudspeakers to a Wall
WARNING: For safety reasons do not attempt to fix these speakers to your wall if you
are unsure of your ability to provide a secure and safe fixing. You will need to determine
where to fit the bracket and the structure of the wall. If unsure, please obtain the
services of a competent qualified trades-person.
WARNING: Ensure that there are no water pipes, or electricity cables running behind
where the wall bracket is going to be secured. Work from secure steps and avoid
trailing wires.
Monitor Audio do not supply bespoke brackets or fixings for the Vector Series.
However, we can supply brackets that are sold separately. The threaded
insert on the back of the V10 and V20 is a 1/4” UNC thread. The screws must
not exceed 18mm (3/4”).
Re-cycling
Correct Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) by User in Private
Households in the EU.
This symbol on the product or accessories indicates that they must not be
disposed of with your household wastes throughout the EU. To prevent
possible harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled waste
disposal, recycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of material
resources. Instead it is your responsibility to dispose of your waste equipment
by handing it over to a designated WEEE collection point for recycling. The
separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment will help conserve
natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects
human health and the environment.
For more specific information about where you can take your equipment for recycling please
contact your local city/council office, your local waste disposal service or the outlet where you
purchased your Vector product.

Introduction to Vector
Vector is an exceptional range of compact lifestyle speakers inspired by a thirty year heritage of
technical expertise. Occupying the step below our celebrated RadiusHD series in the Monitor
Audio range, the three-model Vector line-up is destined to raise levels of sophistication and
performance at the affordable end of the home speaker market. It comprises a wall-mounting
compact satellite, the V10; a matching centre-channel satellite, the V20, and a compact 100W
active subwoofer, the VW-8.
The V10 and V20 cabinets are of high density moulded polymer with a ‘soft touch’ rubberised
black skin, which lends a wonderfully novel and tactile quality to the product. The front baffles
are of MDF, which is coated in a high-gloss black lacquer to match the look of flat TVs, or is
finished in an attractive natural wood grain.
Vector’s shielded, Gold C-CAM
®
tweeters represent the latest refinement of Monitor Audio’s
advanced Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium driver design, which has been employed
successfully by generations of award-winning Monitor Audio speakers. The shielded MMP
®
II (Metal Matrix Polymer) bass-mid drivers use a high-pressure injection moulding process to
achieve different thickness at critical points in the cone geometry. For further details on C-CAM
and MMP
®
II, please go to our website.
Vector V10
Although the Vector V10 is designed primarily for use with the V20 and VW-8 in an ultracompact multi-channel home cinema package, its unusually deep bass makes it ideal for stereo
sound around the home. It delivers clear highs and punchy bass lines wherever it’s installed. A
woven wire mesh grille protects the drivers and provides a stylish contrast to smooth profile of
its cabinet. A single point fixing is provided for bracket fixing and wall mount.
Vector V20
The compact V20 is a versatile speaker that can be used either horizontally for centre-channel
home cinema duties or vertically as a left/right satellite in multi-channel or stereo applications
around the home. The V20 shares the tonal characteristics of the V10, but has the extended
bass response necessary for the accurate reproduction of movie dialogue. Front porting,
recessed terminal panel allow for easy wall installation.
Vector VW-8
The new VW-8 is an ultra-compact but awesomely powerful subwoofer equipped with a potent
integral 100 Watt class A-B amplifier. The VW-8’s rigid cubed MDF cabinet houses a long throw,
forward-firing 8” driver. Although designed to partner the Vector Series satellites, the VW-8
will integrate beautifully and easily with any compact, high performance home theatre system
through variable volume and crossover controls and a phase switch. For extra convenience,
the VW-8 is automatically turned on and off by the auto signal sensing feature. Stereo line and
LFE inputs are provided.
