The SR30 THX is mounted via a unique slide-on mounting plate. The
plate is first screwed to the wall at the appropriate position and
then the speaker slides down, firmly locking in place. The plate must
be mounted with the long groove toward the wall and the notch at
the bottom.
The enclosed mounting template will guide you in locating the
mounting screws. In addition, it will ensure the minimum
clearance to the ceiling as required by the mounting bracket.
Please Note
Installation of surround speakers requires a thorough under-
standing of construction tools and procedures. We recommend
you consult a knowledgeable installer if you are unsure of the
physical properties behind your walls.
Mounting on Drywall, Paneling, or Other
Hollow Surfaces
Use the supplied 3-inch #10 machine screws and toggle wings.
The toggle wings require a 9/16-inch (13mm) hole. Do not
attempt to mount the SR30
THX
’s to drywall with any of the
commonly available plastic anchors (push-in inserts).
Mounting on Wood and Other Solid Surfaces
Use the supplied 2-inch #8 particleboard screws. For best results,
predrill the hole with a 1/8-inch drillbit.
Mounting on Masonry, Adobe, and Similar
Surfaces
Consult a knowledgeable installer about proper hardware. You
will obtain best results with #8 screws.
Mounting the Bracket When Using the
Machine Screws and Toggle Wings
1. Drill two 9/16-inch (13mm) holes using the included template.
If running wires behind the wall, make a hole for them as well.
2. Insert the machine screws through the bracket and thread
onto the toggle wings before penetrating the wall.
3. Level the bracket and tighten screws.
4. Guide the wires through the back.
5. Place the SR30
THX on the bracket and slide down until you
hear a locking ”click.”
6. Connect the wires.

For Five-Channel Applications
(including THX systems)
Select either surround mode with the toggle switch. When used
with a THX receiver/processor, please select the "DIFFUSE-THX
ULTRA2 MODE".
Connect a set of speaker cables to either set of inputs. You may
want to consider running a second set of speaker cables for each
surround if you think you may upgrade to a 7.1 channel system
in the near future.
