Placement
Designate the general listening area where the speakers would be most ideal. The speakers should face the listening area and be placed with in 20 feet of the general listening area for optimum performance. Use this method for both indoor and outdoor applications. (See Diagram1)
Connection
Using a stereo receiver or multi-channel Amplifier such as the OSD MX1260 connects the speakers. Please note, the red lead indicates a positive signal (+) and the black indicates a negative signal (-). Connecting the positive and negative leads incorrectly will cause it to be out of phase and will result in weak performance. (See Diagram 2)
