Product Usage Instructions

Pre-Installation
Before starting the installation, ensure that all necessary components have been delivered and report any discrepancies to your local Lyngdorf Audio representative.

Preparing the Wall for Speaker Stacks
For proper mounting of a Lyngdorf LS-1000 Left, Center, or Right loudspeaker stack, a rectangular cutout with specific dimensions must be made in the wall. Refer to the manual for exact measurements.

Cables
Use the recommended cable types based on the distance required. Ensure to allow extra cable length for connecting to the speaker binding posts before placing the speaker inside the wall or ceiling.

Speaker Installation
Follow these steps:

1. Mount the brackets for the top and bottom loudspeakers using the provided screws.
2. Connect and tighten the speaker cables to the base plate of the first LS-1000 speaker.
3. Ensure secure connections and no bare wires are exposed.

Safety Note
Do not attempt to lift the speaker stack alone. Always have at least one person for every two loudspeaker units involved in lifting.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the recommended cable length for connecting the speaker?
  The recommended minimum cable length is up to 16m/50ft. For distances beyond that, refer to the manual for appropriate cable types.

• Can the LS-1000 speakers be mounted on both walls and ceilings?

PRE-INSTALLATION

Unpacking the Model LS-1000 Left/Center/Right
Carefully remove the loudspeaker units and accessories from the carton and check for shipping damage. Contact both the shipper and your local Lyngdorf Audio representative immediately if the unit bears any sign of damage from mishandling. In some cases, it may be necessary to return the equipment to Lyngdorf Audio or an authorized service provider for repair; therefore, it is recommended that you save your original packing materials. If this unit is shipped without the original packing, damage could occur and void the warranty.

Inventory
Check to ensure that all necessary product components have been delivered. Report all discrepancies to your local Lyngdorf Audio representative immediately.

• Lyngdorf LS-1000 Left, or Lyngdorf LS-1000 Center, or Lyngdorf LS-1000 Right
• Side brackets for securing the individual speaker units to each other (attached to each side prior to shipping)
• Top brackets for securing the top of each speaker stack
• Base mounting kit for each speaker stack (different versions for either Left or Center+Right LS-1000)
• Mounting screws for top, base, and side brackets

Prepare the Wall for the Speaker Stacks
For proper mounting of a Lyngdorf LS-1000 Left, Center or Right loudspeaker stack, a rectangular cutout with the following dimensions must be made in the wall:

Required space for Lyngdorf LS-1000 Left/Right
The minimum space required including top and base brackets bracket are:

each additional

LS-1000 Left/Right

| 95 mm / 3.7 in| 500 mm / 19.7 in| 290 mm / 11.4 in
4 x LS-1000 Left/Right| 95 mm / 3.7 in| 2085 mm / 85 in| 290 mm / 11.4 in

Required space for Lyngdorf LS-1000 Center
The minimum space required including top and base brackets bracket are:

11.4 in
4 x LS-1000 Center| 142 mm / 5.6 in| 2085 mm / 85 in| 290 mm / 11.4 in

Cables

• Recommended minimum up to 16m / 50ft: AWG 14/2 or 2-lead 2mm2
• Recommended minimum from 16m / 50ft and up: AWG 12/2 or 2-lead 3.5mm2
• Recommended maximum: Double AWG 10/2 or 2-lead 5mm2
• Allow min. 50cm longer cable for connecting the cable to the speaker binding posts before the speaker is placed inside the wall or ceiling.

Arranging the speaker units
Arrange the individual LS-1000 units on the floor, ready to combine them as a stack. For each loudspeaker stack, place the loudspeakers with the back side down on the floor, preferably close to the wall cutout in which the stack is to be mounted. Make sure that the floor is covered with fabric – such as carpeting – to avoid scratching the loudspeakers.

SPEAKER INSTALLATION

Place the loudspeakers in order, with the bottom loudspeaker in the stack closest to the bottom edge of the wall cutout in which the stack is to be mounted. This facilitates easy mounting when connections are complete, as the stack can be tilted directly into place.

Remove the Side Brackets from Each Speaker Unit
All Lyngdorf LS-1000 loudspeaker units are equipped with POM thermoplastic side brackets from the factory. When these brackets are mounted correctly on the left, right, and rear sides of the units, they align and secure the individual units in a stack to each other. Using a torx 30 type screwdriver, remove the screws securing the brackets to the loudspeakers, keeping the brackets and screws close at hand.

Mount the Side Brackets on Each Stack

• Using the screws you have just removed from the side brackets, secure the side brackets to the stack as shown. The bracket must bridge two loudspeakers in such a way that the bracket can be affixed to each loudspeaker with two screws.
• First, insert the screws into all four holes and tighten them by hand until the head of each screw protrudes 1-2 mm, then tighten the screws with a torx 30 screwdriver. If you mount the bracket one screw at a time, there is a risk that the last screw will not be fully aligned with the hole. Tightening the last screw can then result in the screw thread being stripped, rendering the screw useless and resulting in an unstable loudspeaker stack.

Mount the Brackets for the Top and Bottom Loudspeakers
Using a torx 30 screwdriver and the supplied black M6x30 screws, secure the dedicated top and bottom brackets to the loudspeakers in their respective stacks as shown.
Note: Start with the correct LS-1000 base labelled for either Left or Right+Center.

Connect the Loudspeaker Cables
Connect and tighten the speaker cables with a small, slotted screwdriver to the base plate of the first LS-1000 speaker. Make sure the cable ends are securely tightened and no bare wire is standing out. Other LS-1000 elements will connect through the plug-in terminals.

Mount the Wall Bracket

• Mount the top bracket to the top loudspeaker using a torx 30 screwdriver and the supplied black M6x16 screws. Align the speaker stack with the wall opening and ensure the stack stands leveled and steady by adjusting the base feet.
• Mount the top wall bracket to the top beam of the wall cutout, using a torx 30 screwdriver and the supplied C6x30 screws. Note that the purpose of the top wall bracket is to stabilize the stack at the beam, and not to bear its weight. The loudspeaker stack and its base bracket must stand firmly on the ground. Cover the bracket as shown.
  NOTE! For your own safety, do not attempt to raise the stack by yourself. There should be one person involved in lifting a loudspeaker stack for every two loudspeaker units in the stack; so a stack of 4 x LS-1000 loudspeaker units requires at least two people to lift.
