[. . . ] You can just set them on a shelf or use the supplied brackets and mount them in a corner or on a flat wall. The pivoting mounts let you tilt and swivel the speakers to suit the installation. If one of the available colors doesn't work in your décor, then SoundWare XL can be painted in a matching or complementary color. The SoundWare XL speaker can be wall mounted using the supplied hardware or simply placed on a shelf. [. . . ] The type of speaker wire that should be used depends on whether the SoundWare XL is used in a conventional audio system or in a 100V/70V Constant Voltage commercial system. The electrical codes in your community may require the use of special wire that is appropriate for higher voltage applications and resistant to exposure. Check with an electrical safety inspector in your area to see if such wiring is required. One of the main advantages of 100V/70V Constant Voltage systems is that relatively light gauge wire can be used, even over long distances. All the speakers in a system must be hooked up with the same polarity or "in phase. " The terminals on the SoundWare XL speakers are color coded to identify the "+" (red) and "­" (black) connections. All wire is marked in some way so you can tell one conductor from the other. The marking may be a ridge molded into the insulation of one conductor, or it may have a stripe on the insulation, or it may be color coded. Use the marking on the speaker wires to be sure that the "+" terminal of the amplifier is connected to the "+" terminal of the speaker, and "­" is connected to "­", at every connection. Tuck the wire into the channel in the back of the speaker to keep it neat and out of sight. 1 Put the rounded end of the speaker mount in the bracket and slide it down to lock it in place. Vertically it can go from facing straight out, to being tilted down 40 degrees. When the flat wall mounting bracket is used they can pivot side-to-side 20 degrees. (Note: Corner mounting will not allow the speaker to pivot side-to-side. ) Loosen the pivot set screw, pivot the speaker into position and retighten the screw. Pivots down 40° pivots 20° each way The SoundWare XL is equipped with a 60 watt transformer for use in 100V/70V Constant Voltage applications. 70 Volt 64W 32W 16W 8W 4W Direct 8 ohms 100 Volt ­ 16W 8W 4W 2W Direct 8 ohms Adjust the tap switch on the rear of the speaker to the desired setting so it will be matched to the speaker wiring coming from the power amplifier. in conventional audio systems , set the tap switch to the Dir X position. This bypasses the transformer, sending the signal directly to the speaker crossover. In 100V/70V Constant Voltage systems where multiple speakers are used, the speakers must be connected in parallel.
