PRO-X44AV 2-WAY DIE-CAST MINI SPEAKER
Your RCA PRO-X44AV 2-Way Die-Cast
Mini Speaker is small in size, but not in
sound! Its high-compliance woofer
accurately tracks signals to provide
outstanding bass, while the balance drive
tweeter produces crisp, detailed highs.
Your speaker’s acoustic design matches
the woofer and tweeter with the enclosure
and damping materials, resulting in
amazingly smooth and broad frequency
response.
Your PRO-X44AV can handle up to 30
watts of power. The speaker is
magnetically shielded so you can safely
place it next to your television or monitor.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Location and position are vital to your
speaker’s performance. The ideal location
is on a table or shelf positioned near the
corner of a room. A shelf attached to a
wooden wall (or some other acoustically
hard surface) greatly reinforces the
speaker’s sound quality. If possible, place
the front edge of the speaker flush with
the front edge of the shelf. For the best
sound, avoid floor locations; floor
coverings can absorb much of the sound.
with speaker placement until you find the
location that provides the best sound for
your needs.
If you are using another speaker with your
PRO-X44AV, for the best stereo image,
the distance between your speakers
should be about equal to the distance
from the main listening area to a point
halfway between the speakers.

If you must place your speakers farther
apart, turn them slightly inward.
You can mount your PRO-X44AV on a
wall, under a shelf, or on a ceiling using
optional speaker brackets (available at
your local RadioShack store). Or, you can

Follow the instructions provided with the
brackets.

Note: When you use the 1/4-inch wall-
mount bracket, remove the screw on the
back panel of the speaker so you can thread
the ball shaft. For any other type of
mounting bracket, use the mounting holes
(indicated by the arrows) and leave the
screw in place.
ATTACHING THE RUBBER
FEET
Rubber feet are supplied with your speaker
so it will not scratch your furniture. With
the thicker feet (marked A) positioned
toward the front corners of the speaker and
the thinner feet (marked B) positioned
toward the back corners, remove the paper
backing and press all four feet onto the
bottom of the speaker.
For the maximum bass response and overall
best performance, connect the speaker in
phase (– to – and + to +).
Speaker wire is either color-coded, with a
different color on each side, or coded with a
ridge or stripe on one side to identify the
wire’s different sides, making the connection
process easier. RadioShack stores sell
speaker wire to meet most needs.
Follow these steps to prepare the wire and
connect the speaker.
1. Separate the wire conductors for a length of
about 2 inches, then
remove about
1
/2 inch
of insulation from the
wire’s ends using a wire
stripper.
2. Push down the speaker’s black tab to
open the negative (–) terminal and
insert one of the wire’s conductors.
Release the tab.
Rubber Feet
CONNECTIONS
With the speaker placed at the desired
location, measure the distance from the
speaker to the amplifier. Use 18-gauge
speaker wire for a distance of 50 feet or less.
For a distance greater than 50 feet, use a
heavier 16-gauge wire.

3. Push down the speaker’s red tab to open
the positive (+) terminal and insert the
wire’s other conductor. Release the tab.
4. Using the speaker wire’s coding as a
guide, connect the other end of the
speaker wire to the amplifier’s
corresponding (right or left) speaker
terminals.

Your PRO-X44AV 2-Way Die-Cast Mini Speaker is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your speaker so you can enjoy
it for years.
Keep the speaker dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain
minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the speaker only in normal temperature environments. Temperature
extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the speaker away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of
parts.
Handle the speaker gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards
and cases and can cause the speaker to work improperly.
Wipe the speaker with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not
use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the speaker.
Caution: You might permanently damage your speaker by cleaning it with a vacuum cleaner.
Instead, use a feather duster or a soft cloth.
Modifying or tampering with the speaker’s internal components can cause a malfunction and
might invalidate its warranty.

This speaker system has been manufactured to the specifications of RadioShack and is covered
