T-PC3.0
Thank you for purchasing the Phase Technology TEATRO LCR high
denition at panel sound bar speaker system. The TEATRO sound
bar speaker’s Left-Center Right conguration with Phase
Technology’s Enhanced Voice Technology, EVT™ center channel
design and Spatial Field Expander, SFE™ enable the speaker to
provide outstanding dialogue clarity for movies with an open, wide
sound stage normally obtained with separate component speaker
systems.
The TEATRO sound bar speakers are a compact design made
to t under at panel TV’s. For “on wall” applications they come with a
mounting bracket that has adjustments for lining up and vertically
leveling the speaker with the at panel TV. There are also threaded
inserts located on the rear of the cabinet for applications where
mounting the speakers to a display wall bracket mechanism is
required.
Note: Please check with the mount manufacture for compatibility if
you are using a at panel display mount that includes speaker mounting brackets. Check the specications for total weight limitations and
make sure it will support a sound bar speaker of between 25-30 Lbs.
CAUTION: BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE MIDRANGE
DOMES OR SFE DRIVERS (LOCATED ON THE SIDES OF THE CABINET)
WHILE HANDLING THE TEATRO PC-3.0.
When selecting the speaker mounting location, it is prudent to take a
few extra minutes to carefully inspect and measure the wall where
you intend to mount the TEATRO sound bar speakers and your at
panel display. An inspection of the room or rooms that back up to the
wall you have selected for mounting the TEATRO can often alert you
to potential obstacles. For example, if the wall you want to mount to
happens to be the common wall for a bathroom or kitchen, there is a
good chance you will encounter water or sewer pipes in the wall that
will not be detected by a stud-nder. An electronic stud-nder is a
useful tool to assist you in selecting the speaker placement, but be
cautious as they often give false readings. It is recommended that
wherever possible you try to fasten these mounting brackets to a
vertical stud with the appropriate wood screws. If it is not possible to
mount the brackets over the studs then it is recommended that the
appropriate hollow wall anchors or toggle bolts be used to mount the
TEATRO. Be certain to use at least four of the mounting holes on each
bracket to assure a safe and reliable installation.
Note: to take full advantage of Phase Technology’s Spatial Field
Expander (SFE™), please try to mount the speaker so that the sides of
the speaker cabinet are not obstructed.
Step 1
Determine that the desired mounting location is safe and clear of any
physical obstructions that might hinder the proper installation of the
speakers. If the at panel monitor is already installed on the wall you
can use it as a guide for the installation of the speakers. For the best
appearance it is recommended that the speaker be installed
symmetrically beneath the monitor. The spacing from the monitor is
not critical so you may use whatever is most appealing aesthetically
but the speakers’ response characteristics will be best if you stay
within a few inches of the display.
Special consideration must be taken to run three (3) sets of speaker
leads to the TEATRO sound bar speakers. One pair each will be
connected to the left and right channel on your amplier and the
other pair will be used for the center channel. Be certain that you can
get the speaker wire to the locations where you plan to mount the
speaker systems.
Please note that the TEATRO sound bar speakers are designed to
mount very close to the wall and the brackets only allow about 1” of
clearance so be certain to make allowances for this with your speaker
connectors and wire clearances.
We suggest that you use a minimum of AWG #16 wire. Pre-run your
speaker wire to the determined locations and be certain to leave
about two feet of extra wire for the nal speaker installation. If the at
panel monitor is not yet mounted to the wall, mount the display rst
before mounting the speakers.
Step 2
Normal mounting for the TEATRO sound bar speaker is centered
directly below the display. Both the speaker and the brackets have a
series of holes that allow for exibility in mounting. The brackets can
also slide inside each other for left/right positioning adjustments. The
holes in the brackets allow them to be positioned for attaching to 16”
on center studs. There are four identical brackets supplied with the
speaker. Two are mounted to the wall, two are mounted to the rear of
the speaker cabinet.

Measure your at panel display horizontally and nd the center
(width). The brackets should be positioned 5” either side of this center
line. Using the mounting bracket as a guide, measure 1 ½” from the
bottom of the display to the top edge of the bracket and 5” over from
the center line to the bracket edge (see Fig. 1). This will allow about a
¼” space between the bottom of the display and the speaker cabinet.
This spacing can be adjusted to suit personal taste or applications as
necessary. Use a level to make sure the mounting bracket is straight.
With the bracket positioned in the desired location use a pencil to
mark at least four mounting holes on the wall for the bracket mounting screws. Try to have at least 2 holes on each bracket that line up
over a wall stud. Drill the wall, install your anchors and fasten the
brackets to the wall with the “J” bend at the bottom (g. 2 & 3).

Step 3
Place your TEATRO sound bar speaker face down on a soft clean
surface with the grille on. Orient the speaker so the input terminal is
on the left hand side. The second pair of steel brackets supplied with
the speaker is designed to attach to the threaded inserts on the rear of
the speaker cabinet with the eight supplied #10-32x3/8” Philips
screws. Align the holes on the brackets with the center and bottom set
of mounting holes on the rear of the speaker. Position the brackets
similar to the ones mounted on the wall with the “J” bend up so it can
hook into the wall bracket. Attach brackets to the rear of the speaker
using four screws per bracket (Fig. 1 & 2).
Install one each of the 6, #10-32x1” Phillips screws in the threaded nut
located in the bottom center of the “J” bend of the two wall mounted
brackets. These screws are for leveling the speaker. Start the screws,
but do not screw in at this time.
Install the other four 1” screws in the end mounted nuts of the cabinet
mounted brackets. These are the bracket locking screws and should
be installed so they can be adjusted from the bottom of the speaker
(Fig. 3 next page).
Assemble the two rubber stand-o bumpers next. Thread one nut
onto each bumper stand-o and then one nylon washer. Run the nut
about halfway down the screw. Thread each of the bumper stand-os
into the two lower inserts located on the bottom rear edge of the
cabinet (Fig. 2).

Step 4
There are three pair of gold binding post terminals on the rear of the
speaker cabinet. The terminals are marked for Right Input, Center
Input and Left Input and should be connected to the respective
speaker channel outputs on your receiver. Connect the speaker wires
to the correct terminals observing the polarity indicated on the
terminal. Red is + or positive and black is – or negative. Strip about ½”
of insulation from the wires and separate the wires as necessary. If you
are using other wire lugs or connectors, attach them at this time to the
bare wire. Unscrew the binding post terminals and slip the stripped
end of the wire through the hole in the metal post. Secure the wire in
the post by tightening the binding post terminal nut down on the
bare wire or lug. Make sure the nut is tight and the wire will not pull
out of the terminal by lightly pulling back on the wire. Tuck the
speaker wire in behind the speaker cabinet; if necessary, neaten up
the wire with the use of tie wraps.
