Boston Acoustics Indoor / Outdoor Speaker - Manual (Page 3)

The SoundWare speakers pivot on their mounts.
Vertically they can go from facing straight out to being
tilted down 40 degrees. When the fl at 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 on the
front of the pivoting ball mount, pivot the speaker into
position and retighten the screw.
Speaker Wires
For short runs of less then 20 feet or so you can use 16 gauge wire. But typically you should use
heavier 14 gauge wire. That is good enough for runs up to 50 feet or so. For runs of more than 50 feet
use 12 gauge wire.
Speaker Connection Polarity
All the speakers in a system must be hooked up with the same polarity or “in phase.” The terminals on
the SoundWare 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 amplifi er is
connected to the “+” terminal of the speaker, and “–” is connected to “–”, at every connection.
Connecting the Speakers
Separate the two conductors of the wire. Remove
about 3/8” of insulation from the end of the wire. Push
down on the top of the terminal to open the hole for
the wire. Insert the wire and release the terminal to
secure it. Be sure there are no loose strands of wire.
Note: there is a channel in the back of the speaker for
the wire, to keep it neat and out of sight.

Mounting the Speakers
Once you have the bracket mounted and the speaker
connected the rest is easy.
1 Put the rounded end of the speaker mount in the
bracket and slide it down to lock it in place.
2 Optional – Insert and tighten the screw to secure
everything.
