Note: Before you begin, ensure you have all the necessary tools and equipment for the installation, including a screwdriver, wall anchors, and speaker wires.

• Decide where you want to mount the speakers. Common locations include walls or bookshelves. Ensure that the chosen location provides a stable and secure mounting surface.
• If you are mounting the speakers on a wall, use a stud finder to locate the wall studs. Mark the positions where you plan to attach the speakers.
• Using the keyhole mounts on the back of the speakers as a guide, mark the hole locations on the wall or bookshelf where you will attach the speakers.
• If you are not mounting the speakers on wall studs, insert appropriate wall anchors into the marked holes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing wall anchors.
• Align the keyhole mounts on the back of the speakers with the wall anchors or screws. Carefully slide the speakers onto the mounts or secure them to the wall. Make sure the speakers are level and securely attached.
• Connect speaker wires to the terminals on the back of each speaker. Ensure that you match the positive (+) and negative (-) connections correctly. If you’re unsure about the wiring, consult the speaker’s manual or labels for guidance.
• Connect the other end of the speaker wires to the corresponding terminals on your amplifier or receiver. Again, make sure the polarity is correct.
• Power on your amplifier or receiver and test the speakers to ensure they are functioning correctly. Play some audio to verify that the sound is coming from both speakers.
• Adjust the positioning of the speakers to optimize the sound quality in your room. You can experiment with speaker placement for the best audio experience.
• If you are using these speakers as part of a surround sound system, calibrate your AV receiver or processor to ensure balanced audio levels and accurate sound.

• If you’re using these speakers as part of a larger audio system, perform routine maintenance on your amplifier or receiver, following the manufacturer’s guidelines.
• If you have children or pets in your home, take precautions to prevent them from touching or tampering with the speakers, wires, or connections.
