NuTone SS-13WH, SS-13BL User Manual

INTRODUCTION

These indoor speakers are designed to be used in a home theater
system as rear and/or front speakers and make an excellent low
cost, great sounding system when used in conjunction with
Sensonic powered subwoofers such as SS4108 or MS4110P.
They can also be used as speakers for background music
reproduction.

INSTALLATION

The SS113WH/BL (Figure 1) cube speakers are designed to be
mounted on a wall, hung from the ceiling or just placed on a
tabletop. The speakers come with their own stand and two
different types of mounting. A plate (Figure 2) and a ceiling
bracket (Figure 3). The plate is for wall mounting while the bracket
is for ceiling mounting.

CONNECTING THE AMPLIFIER

Always observe polarity. Speaker wires (cables) always have
some type of identification mark, such as a red/white band on one
of the conductors. Connect this conductor with the identification
band to the RED or “+” terminal on the back of the stereo amplifier
or the A/V receiver. Connect the other end of this conductor band
to the RED or “+” terminal of the speaker. Insert one end of the
other conductor (without the identification mark) to the BLACK or
“-” terminal on the amplifier or the A/V receiver. Insert the other
end to the BLACK terminal of the speaker. Make sure there are

no frayed, cut or punctured wires.

TESTING THE SYSTEM

When all connections have been completed, play music through
an amplifier and a music source such as a CD player. Initially,
keep the volume control on the amplifier at very low setting. Keep
tone controls, if any, at mid position. Slowly increase the volume
from the amplifier. Sound should be heard from the left and right
speakers. If not, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.

The speaker has two halves which can be rotated independently.
Rotate the two halves gently, as required, to direct sound at a
specific area.
