Loudspeaker Placement
The Shaker DJ Series Loudspeakers were designed to sit
on a solid at surface.
• Follow the user guide installation procedures to install your
Shaker DJ Loudspeakers into your own sound system.
• Place the loudspeaker cabinet on a solid level surface
where it cannot be toppled or tilted.
• Elevate the loudspeaker at or above head level. This
is to prevent the high frequencies from being blocked
and getting mufed by obstacles directly in front of the
tweeters.
• Avoid placing full-range loudspeakers in a corner or right
next to a wall to avoid degrading the overall sound quality.
• If loudspeakers are to be placed in locations where large
amounts of reverberations or echoes are produced, such
as gymnasiums and auditoriums, laying carpet or rugs will
help dampen the reections and improve the overall sound
quality of the system.
CAUTION!
• Before installing this loudspeaker product, inspect all
hardware, brackets, surfaces, cabinets and associated
equipment for damage. If a fault is discovered, it should be
corrected immediately.
• Never connect multiple amplier outputs to the input
terminals at the same time. This may cause a short and may
damage your equipment or cause a re.
• This loudspeaker can easily reproduce sound pressure levels
(SPL) loud enough to cause permanent ear damage that
could result in hearing loss. Take great precaution to protect
yourself from prolonged exposure to high output sound
pressure levels.

Installation
Installation
Step 1
Carefully run both CH 1 and CH 2 speaker wires from the
amplier up to the location of the loudspeakers.
WARNING!
To prevent electrical shock hazard, always switch off the
amplier when making connections to the speaker.
Step 2
Strip off 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of each
speaker wire to expose the two conductors, and tightly
twist the wire strands.
Step 3
Push terminal tabs to expose wire holes and insert the
positive (+) and negative (-) wires through their respective
terminals and release button to secure wires.

Loudspeaker Congurations Tips
Speaker Power Requirements
The following guidelines will assist you in selecting the
appropriate amplier for your loudspeaker(s) to maintain a
safe level of operation.
• For clear, high quality performances where distortion
should be at its minimum, the loudspeaker(s) should be
powered with an amplier capable of delivering twice its
power rating. (ex. Classical, Jazz, Instrumental, etc)
• For non-distorted high output performances where the
music is at a constant beat, the loudspeaker(s) should be
powered with an amplier with the same power rating.
• For musical performances where distorted material will
be allowed to be played back, an amplier with half the
power rating is recommended for safe operation.
Speaker Wires
When running long lengths of speaker wires, it is
recommended that higher gauge wire (12 Ga or higher) is
always used. Using speaker wires lower than 12 Ga limits
the amplier from delivering full power to the loudspeaker(s),
which may result in poor sound performance.
Equipment Protection
• Always optimize the signal levels throughout the system
to avoid overdriving your system and the loudspeaker(s).
