[MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS]
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 TSB3.0 speaker and your at panel
display. An inspection of the room, or rooms, that back up to the
wall you have selected for mounting the TSB3.0 can often alert
you to potential obstacles. 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. 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.
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 TSB3.0.
Note: In order for the Spatial Field Expanders to operate correctly,
the sides of the soundbar must not be obstructed.
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 TSB3.0 speakers are designed to mount
very close to the wall and the brackets only allow about .5” 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 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 speaker.
For the best appearance, it is recommended that the speaker
be installed symmetrically beneath the monitor. The Soundbar’s
response characteristics will be best if you mount it within a few
inches of the at panel display.
Special consideration must be taken to run three (3) sets of
speaker leads to the TSB3.0 speakers. One pair each will be

STEP 2.1 – WALL MOUNTING
For the best audio experience, the TSB3.0 speaker should be
centrally aligned and mounted directly below the TV display. Each
speaker comes with two identical Mounting Brackets and these
should be mounted to the wall 16 inches apart and centrally
located under the TV.
First, locate the center line of your TV display and make a light
pencil mark on the wall that is 2.5” below the bottom of your
display. Next, measure to the left of this mark exactly 8” and make
another mark at that point. Make sure this mark is also 2.5” below
the TV. Repeat this process on the right side of the display –
making sure that this mark is level with the mark on the left side.
This will create two marks that are 16” apart and 2.5” below the
bottom of your display (Figure 1). You have now identied the
location for the two wall brackets for the TSB3.0 speaker.
Flat panel display
these holes (Figure 3). Your TSB3.0 speaker is now ready to be
mounted to the wall.
Connect the Left Center and Right inputs from your surround
receiver to the Male Euroblock connectors included with the
speaker. Be careful to observe proper polarity; + (red) on your
receiver to + on the speaker Euroblock connector. Connect the
appropriate Euroblock connector to the left/center/right inputs
on the back of the speaker before placing your speaker on the
Mounting Brackets.
[FIGURE 2]
Using a 1/16” drill bit, drill a pilot hole at each of your two marks
above. Place one of the wall brackets on the wall and align the pilot
hole with the bottom slot on the bracket and drill a second pilot
hole in the center of the upper slot on the bracket (Figure 2). This
hole will be 7/8” above the rst pilot hole. Repeat this process for
the bracket on the other side. These pilot holes will let you know
if your mounting bracket location is over a wall stud or not. If it is
over a stud then that bracket can be installed with a suitable screw
(for mounting on sheetrock walls, we recommend at least a #10
x 1.5” pan head screw and a at washer between the screw and
the bracket). If the location for the bracket is not over a wall stud,
then suitable drywall anchors that can support 15 lbs each must
be used.
Following the guidelines above, mount the two brackets to the wall.
Once they are installed check that the center distance between the
vertical mounting slots on the two brackets is exactly 16”. Adjust
the brackets with the horizontal slots until on they are 16” apart.
Locate the two holes on the back of the speaker that are 8”
apart from the center hole and install the two Mounting Pins in
[FIGURE 3]
See step 3 for more detailed information on wiring the TSB3.0.
Gently slide the Mounting Pins into the vertical mounting slots on
the Mounting Brackets. Removal of the at panel display may be
necessary before mounting the TSB3.0. The Leveling Screws may
be inserted in the bottom of the Mounting Bracket and used to
adjust the height and to make sure the TSB3.0 speaker is level.
Tightening the screw will raise the speaker and loosening it will
lower it.
STEP 2.2 – TABLE TOP MOUNTING
Place your TSB3.0 speaker face down on a soft clean surface
with the grille on. Orient the speaker so the input terminals are
on the right hand side. To attach the Table Top Mounting Feet
to the Mounting Brackets, rst remove the Leveling Screws from
the underside of the Mounting Brackets and attach the Table Top
Mounting Feet to the bottom of the bracket using the two supplied
Phillips Table Top Mounting Feet Screws. Make sure that you
orient the feet so that the longer side points to the front of the
TSB3.0 (Figure 4).
Repeat this for the other Mounting Bracket and Table Top
Mounting Foot. Once you have the Table Top Mounting Feet
securely fastened to the Mounting Brackets, it is now time to
mount them to the TSB3.0. Align the center of the cross section
5
on the Mounting Bracket with the center of mounting holes on
the rear of the speaker and fasten using the supplied Table Top
Mounting Screws for each bracket.
Note: When mounting the table top brackets, fasten the brackets
to the far end mounting holes on each side of the speaker cabinet.
STEP 4
Since the TSB3.0 speaker performs as the front three speakers
in a home theater system they are to be used and set up as you
would any normal 5.1 to 7.2 surround sound system for balance
and level adjustments. For the best performance, the amplier
should be set to the small speaker mode for the left/center/right
front speakers. The subwoofer setting should be set between
80 - 100 Hz. We recommend the use of our Phase Technology
®
subwoofers and surround speakers to complement your TSB3.0.
STEP 5
The EVT
™
switch (Figure 6), located on the front of the speaker
under the Phase Technology emblem on the grille, activates Phase
Technology’s Enhanced Voice Technology feature. This feature is
designed to improve the clarity of the voice or dialogue from the
center channel speaker in the system. Flipping the switch to the
on position (right) engages the circuit and off position (left) turns
it off. The emblem can easily be removed and

replaced. Use the
[FIGURE 4]
STEP 3
There are three Euroblock connector 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 Euroblock connector. Strip about .25” of insulation from the
wires and separate the wires as necessary. Connect the signal
wires to the 2-pin Euroblock connectors ((+) indicates positive and
(-) indicates negative) (Figure 5). Make sure the connections are
tight. Tuck the speaker wires behind the Soundbar cabinet, using
tie wraps if necessary to secure wires.

[CARING FOR YOUR PHASE TECHNOLOGY SPEAKER]
All Phase Technology speakers are nished with a high degree of craftsmanship in either hand polished paint or vinyl laminates. We
recommend using a lint-free rag with a small amount of glass cleaner to maintain the long-lasting beauty of the nish. Avoid products
containing silicones, oils, oil derivatives, or solvents. Enclosures nished in vinyl laminates may be cleaned with a damp cloth as
necessary.
[MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE]
Because of Phase Technology’s uncompromising quality control programs, it’s unlikely that your speakers will ever need service if
connected and used as outlined in this Owners’ Manual. In the unlikely event that a problem does occur, please contact your Phase
Technology dealer. Your dealer has the necessary factory-authorized parts and trained technicians to quickly restore your speaker to its
original performance specications.
[TROUBLESHOOTING]
NO SOUND
1. Verify that all components are plugged in and turned on.
2. Check all speaker wires and cables for loose connections.
3. Check to see if you have selected the proper source on your amplier.
VOICES DO NOT APPEAR TO COME FROM BETWEEN THE SPEAKERS / BASS RESPONSE IS WEAK
1. Verify that all speaker connections from the amplier to the speakers are running PLUS+ to PLUS+ and MINUS- to MINUS-.
2. Check to see if there are any furnishings or plants that may be blocking the output of a speaker. Make sure nothing is directly
in front of that speaker.
SOUND, BUT NO BASS (MOST LIKELY IN SYSTEMS WITH A SUBWOOFER)
1. Verify that the subwoofer is plugged into an AC outlet and power is turned on.
2. Check that the speaker wire / cable going from the amplier/receiver to the subwoofer is securely fastened.
3. Check the volume control of the subwoofer.
4. Refer to your amplier/receiver manual to make sure you have adjusted its bass output properly.
MUDDY OR BOOMY BASS
1. Check the volume control for the subwoofer. Excess volume can cause speakers to sound distorted and unnatural.
2. Try adjusting the crossover control on the subwoofer or the subwoofer setup on your receiver to a slightly lower frequency
(example: reduce from 120 Hz to 80 or 60 Hz).
3. If the subwoofer or full size speaker is close to a corner, side or back wall, try moving it away from the wall. This may reduce
the “boomy” bass considerably.
4. Bookshelf speakers placed in a semi-enclosed space or cabinet can articially emphasize bass output. Reduce the bass
control on your amplier or move the speakers to the front of the cabinet. Alternatively, reposition the speakers to a more open
location.
DISTORTED SOUND FROM THE SPEAKERS
1. This problem is usually caused by setting the volume control too high. Reduce the amplier/receiver volume
to a lower level.
2. If noise and distortion are audible at higher volume levels, your amplier may not be powerful enough. Consider upgrading to
a unit with higher power.
NOTE: Remember, even though your Phase Technology speakers can handle considerable power levels, ANY speaker if used improperly
can be damaged. Consult your Phase Technology dealer for assistance in choosing a new amplier or receiver.
