Thank you for choosing HQ POWER! Please read the manual thoroughly before bringing this device into service. If the device was damaged in transit, don’t install or use it and contact your dealer. Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty and the dealer will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.

Installing

The speakers are manufactured to resist a variety of weather conditions. However, they are not waterproof. If you decide to install your speakers outdoors, position them so they will not be exposed to the elements. The underside of most eaves and overhangs provides the best protection for indoor/outdoor loudspeakers. Like all speakers, the sound is best when the speakers have placed no more than 7 ft (± 2 meters) apart, ear level to the listener. If the speakers are farther apart, toe them in toward the center of the room. Do not place them within 2 ft of a television set or computer screen as these speakers are not video shielded.
If your application requires your speakers to be mounted, please follow these directions. Using the supplied hardware, mount the bracket first. Attach the speakers to the brackets using the supplied large plastic knobs. Never mount a speaker on a wall made of unreinforced drywall or plasterboard. When in doubt, consult a professional contractor.
The speaker terminals will accommodate up to 12-gauge wire. When connecting the speakers, it is very important to observe the correct polarity. This means that the wire attached to the (+), red or positive terminal on one component must be attached to the (+), red or positive terminal on the corresponding output terminal of the component to connect. Similarly, the (-), black, negative or ground terminal must be connected to the respective (-), black, negative or ground terminal.

100V consideration – only applicable to 100V tap speaker
The 100V transformer offers you the ability to daisy-chain multiple numbers of speakers in series. In doing so, you would simply connect 1 pair of outputs to each speaker and daisy-chain to subsequent speakers. If you do not intend to daisy-chain the speakers, set the default setting to 8 Ω.
