Pinnacle Speakers G0591 User Manual

 2011 PINNACLE LOUDSPEAKERS

We appreciate your choosing a Pinnacle speaker for use in your Home Theater &
audio system. These unique speakers will provide you with surprisingly powerful and
satisfying sound from an ultra stylish & compact package. Please read this manual
completely to ensure the best possible performance from your system.

SPEAKER PROTECTION:
One special feature of these speakers is an overload protection circuit designed to
help protect the speaker from accidental overload. This protection circuit will
automatically attenuate the overall output of a speaker when it senses excessive
volume level. If you hear this protection circuit engaging, (and it will be obvious when
this occurs), please turn down your receiver’s volume. Your speaker will quickly
return to its normal operation.

CONNECTIONS:
Complete all wire connections in your Home Theater / audio system before powering
up your receiver. Be sure to observe proper polarity for all speaker wire connections:
receiver PLUS (red terminal) to speaker PLUS, receiver MINUS (black terminal) to
speaker minus. For the best results, we recommend 12, 14 or 16 gauge wire; consult
your dealer for options.

To connect your speaker wire to your speaker's binding posts, twist the bare wire
strands together tightly, then insert through the hole which becomes visible when the
binding post cap is pushed down; release the binding post cap to secure the wire.
Remember, loose strands of wire may cause short circuits. Upon completion, gently
tug at all connections to ensure they are fastened securely and re-check for correct
polarity.

CONNECTIONS:
These speakers can be used in front, center or rear speaker positions.

• Connect your left & right speakers to your receiver's left & right main (front
speaker) outputs.

• Connect your center channel speaker to your receiver’s center channel speaker
output.

• Connect your left & right surround speakers to your receiver’s left & right
surround (rear) channels’ speaker outputs.

RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT:

• MAIN SPEAKERS: The best distance between the main speakers is dependent
upon room conditions, size, and the proximity of the listening area to the
speakers; usually 6-12 feet is appropriate. A bit of experimentation is in order,
but smaller rooms will better tolerate closer spacing between the speakers.

• CENTER SPEAKER: We recommend you wall or shelf-mount your speaker
horizontally, below, or just above, your TV.

• SURROUND SPEAKERS:

• One general rule of thumb: Try to position speakers so that the tweeter's level is

fairly close to your ear level in your normal listening position. High frequencies
are much more directional than low frequencies so it is best that your ears are
within a fairly direct path to the tweeter's output.

VERY IMPORTANT!

• Be sure your receiver’s center, main & surround channel modes are all set to
SMALL (NORMAL). This will allow for the greatest bass impact from your
system. If your receiver has an adjustable subwoofer crossover, we recommend
a setting of between 80 & 120 Hz for the best system performance.

ON-WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:

INSTALLATION NOTES:
The hanging methodology employed with this product is intended for mounting on
walls of standard construction (sheetrock on wood or metal studs), which includes
most residential environments.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• #2 Philips head screwdriver bit or hand screwdriver.

• Drill - electric or cordless, with 1/8” & 1/4" bits.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Place the speaker on the wall at the desired mounting location.

2) For Vertical Orientation: Make a small mark on the wall at the right center of the
speaker.
For Horizontal Orientation: Make a small mark on the wall at the top center of the
speaker.

3) Remove the speaker from the wall and place the wall mount bracket:
For Vertical Orientation: so that the middle edge of the bracket is 1 1/4" to the
left of the mark on the wall.
For Horizontal Orientation: so that the middle edge of the bracket is 1 1/4" down
from the mark on the wall.

4) Orient the bracket so that it is level. Mark on the wall the locations for the
bracket’s mounting screws. Remove the mounting bracket from the wall.

5) Drill 2" deep pilot holes at each of the mounting screwhole marks on the wall
using the 1/8" bit if mounting into a stud, or the 1/4" bit (and then inserting the
included wall anchors) where there is no stud.

6) Place the bracket back on the wall lining up the screw holes of the bracket with
the holes on the wall. Be sure to orient the bracket with the appropriate keyhole
slots pointing down. Screw the included mounting screws fully into the pilot
holes or wall anchors. The bracket should now be securely attached to the wall.

7) Attach your speaker wires to the speaker, being sure to observe proper polarity
(amplifier speaker output positive (+) to the red terminal, amplifier speaker
output negative (-) to the black terminal).

8) Position the cabinet so that the rear groove (A) is on the right rear for Vertical
Mounting or at the top rear for Horizontal Mounting. Line-up the 2 peg heads in
the rear groove with the openings in the wall mount bracket (B). Once the peg
heads are in the bracket slowly lower the cabinet approximately 1/4" until the
speaker comes to a rest. The speaker should now be secure.

VERTICAL MOUNTING

HORIZONTAL MOUNTING

After completing all connections, turn the system on, then GRADUALLY increase the
volume level. If there is no sound, distorted sound, or if the amplifier shuts itself
down after a few seconds, IMMEDIATELY TURN THE VOLUME DOWN and turn the
system off. Then re-check your wiring for accuracy and for possible shorts at the
connecting terminals (adjacent bare wires touching each other). When everything
sounds fine, keep the volume reasonably low while you familiarize yourself with your
system's various controls and operating modes.

LIMITED TRANSFERABLE WARRANTY

WHAT IS COVERED: This Pinnacle speaker is covered by warranty for a period of
ten (10) years from the date of the original purchase. The warranty covers all
necessary parts and labor to return the speaker to proper working order. Cabinet
surfaces, grille assembly, and other exterior parts subject to normal wear and tear
are not covered except where an inherent structural defect becomes evident. Parts
replacement and labor will be performed at the discretion of the company (Pinnacle
Loudspeakers) and will be provided free of charge unless (in the opinion of our
service department, service representatives, or engineering department) the speaker
system has failed due to abuse or negligent operation. Any latent defect attributable
to error in manufacture will always be covered by this warranty.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED: This warranty will be void and no free services performed
if we or any party acting as our agent determines that the speaker system in question
has had any of its loudspeaker elements (woofer, midrange, tweeter, etc.) or internal
circuitry removed or tampered with in any way whatsoever without express prior
authorization from Pinnacle. Furthermore, if the speaker system is not found to be
defective a service charge will be levied. In either case the minimum charge will be
$30.00. An additional charge will be applicable for same day service if requested
(subject to feasibility). This charge will always be in effect even if the actual parts
and labor are covered by this warranty. Any damage caused to the speaker system
from improper use is not covered by warranty. Pinnacle Loudspeakers reserves the
right to make the final determination of whether or not a particular speaker system
has been damaged by abuse or excessive overload.
