IMPORTANT! Installation Precautions
Due to the nature of this product, there are several precautions to follow before installation can begin.
- Ensure that all wire run inside of walls and ceiling meets or exceeds local fire codes for hidden wiring.
- Determine wire lengths and select the proper gauge speaker wire to use based on the table under Wire Gauge by Distance.
- Do NOT connect the speakers to an amplifier rated above the recommended amplifier power. Overdriving the speaker can cause an overheating condition increasing the risk of injury.
- Do NOT connect the amplifier end of the wire until all speakers are wired and installed.

Wall Installation
The Stage XD speaker can be installed on a wall using the included Wall Installation Hardware. Follow the instructions carefully to ensure proper installation
- Install lock nut [A] onto threaded knuckle [C] away from the end.
- Slide lock ring [B] over threaded knuckle [C].
- Secure lock nut [A] onto speaker.

- Install the knuckle [C] into the joint [D] and secure lock ring [B].
Adjusting Angle and/or Orientation
Once the speakers are installed on the wall they can be adjusted for angle and orientation. Simply loosen the lock ring slightly and move the speaker within the mount into the desired orientation. Note that for horizontal orientation the logo can be rotated.
Tabletop Installation
While the common use is to install Stage XD speakers onto a wall, they can also be used on a table/desktop. To use on a flat surface, install the included rubber feet onto the bottom of each speaker at the rear outer corners.
Connecting Speakers
- Ensure that the appropriate wire gauge has been run based the Wire Gauge by Distance chart.
- Ensure that wires are marked for polarity to ensure speakers are not connected out of phase.
- Connect positive wires to the (+) terminal and negative feed wire to the (-) terminals.
- Continue connecting until all speakers are connected.
