PRO-LS1 Mini Home Theater Satellite Speaker
Your Optimus PRO-LS1 Mini Home
Theater Satellite S peaker is designed
around a shielded 3-inch woo fer a nd a
1
/2-inch polycarbonate ferrofluid cooled
twee ter .
The two-way speaker’s small size
makes it ideal for placement on a bookshelf. Or, you can mount it on a wall using an optional
1
/4-inch wall-mount
speaker bracket. Follow the instructions provided with the bracket.
The LS1 is designed for use as either a
front or rear speaker in a complete
Home Theater speaker system. It can
handle up to 50 watts RMS, and is timbre-matched with the PRO-LS2 Mini
Home Theater Center Speaker (Cat.
No. 40-4084) for a seamless transition
when sound moves from speaker to
speaker.
When LS1 speakers are used with a
subwoofer (such as Cat. No. 40-4080
or 40-4081), the result is a dynamic
sound experience, ranging from 42 Hz
to 20 kHz.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Where and how you pos ition speakers
has a great effect on the overall sou nd
of your surround sound system.
Cautions:
• Place speakers away from heat
sources such as radiators, stoves,
or other appliances.
• To prevent the cabinets from warping or discoloring, do not place
speakers where they are exposed
to direct sunlight or excessive
humidity.
• Do not place speakers where they
might be knocked over or exposed
to falling objects.
You need speaker wire (not sup-
Note:
plied) to connect your speaker (see
“Connecting the Speaker to an Amplifier/Receiver” on Page 2).

Main Front Speakers
Main front speakers are critical for
home theater sound. They provide
sound for the action that takes place off
screen, as well as sounds that move
from left to right or right to left. Place
them at least 2 feet away from the TV,
with the centers of their grilles as close
as possible to the listener’s ear level.
Rear Channel Surrou nd
Speakers
Rear channel surround speakers produce subtle sounds that help create
special effects, convey a sense of
movement, and give viewers the sensation that they are “inside” a movie.
The ideal position for rear channel surround speakers is behind the listening
area and at ear level.
ATTACHING THE
ANTI-SLIP PADS
Remove the adhesive bac king and attach the four supplied anti-slip pads as
follows:
When installing the speaker above the
TV set,

pads toward the front of the speaker.

CONNECTING THE
SPEAKER TO AN
AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER
Cautions:
• Do not exceed the speaker system’s maximum power rating (see
“Specifications”).
• To avoid damage to the speaker
system or amplifier/ receiver, turn
off the amplifier/receiver before
making the connections.
Use 18-gauge speaker wire or lamp
cord for distances up to 50 feet. For
greater distances, use 16-gauge wire.
Your local RadioShack store has a
wide selection of speaker wire.
We recommend you use color-coded
or marked wire to help you correctly
connect the wire. Color-coded wires
have a stripe running down one side of
the conductors. Marked wires have
ridges along one side of the conductors.
1. With the speaker in its approximate location, measure the distance to the amplifier and route the
wire from the speaker to the amplifier.
