Installing the WXMK2
Step 1: Mount the loudspeaker
The loudspeaker can be mounted both horizontally and vertically by means of the sup-
plied mounting bracket. For mounting the loudspeaker on the desired mounting location,
the mounting bracket should be removed from the loudspeaker. This can be done by
loosening the thumbscrews on either side of the loudspeaker. After this is done, the
mounting holes should be indicated.
For a stable mounting of the loudspeaker it should always be fastened by two screws.
The position of the mounting holes depends on the mounting orientation, horizontally
or vertically. After this, the bracket can be mounted on the desired location. Always use
the proper fasteners depending of the mounting surface. Once the bracket is mounted
on the desired location, the loudspeaker can be fixed to the bracket.

Step 2: Power settings
On the rear side of the WXMK2 series loudspeakers, a recessed adjuster screw is
provided. Using this adjuster screw the power / impedance of the loudspeaker can be
set in 3 adjustable steps of impedance for 100V and 1 step for standard low imped-
ance applications.

4 8 Ohm 8 Ohm 16 Ohm
When the loudspeaker is connected to 70.7V facilities, the power indicated in the table
above will be reduced to half the power, and when connected to 50V facilities, the power
will be reduced to a quarter.

Step 3: Make the connections
A terminal block connector with linkthrough possibility is provided on the back of the
loudspeaker. The connection can be made by loosening the connection screws of the
terminals, inserting the wires according to the polarity as shown below. After tighten-
ing the screws, the connector can be insterted into its counterpart on the back of the
speaker.
Mind the polarity markings when wiring the loudspeaker cables.
Step 4: Enjoy the music
After the WX loudspeakers have been installed correctly, you deserve to have a short
break, relax and enjoy the sound of the speakers!
