Getting Started
We recommend that you:
Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for
possible future shipment.
Review the contents of this user manual.
Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/Galil 6-AW to check for up-to-date user manuals,
application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
Achieving the Best Performance
Use only good quality Kramer connection cables to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low
quality cables).
For outdoor installations use all-weather cables.
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils.
Avoid interference from neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely influence
signal quality.
Do not open the housing of the speaker; doing so may reduce the quality of the sound.

Installing the Galil 6-AW
The Galil 6-AW installation steps include the following:
Choosing the Best Location, on page 5.
Installing the Speaker Wires, on page 5.
Installing the Mounting U-Brackets, on page 7.
Setting up an Array Installation, on page 8.
Connecting the Galil 6-AW, on page 9.
Choosing the Best Location
Before installing the speakers:
Experiment by placing the speakers in different locations before finally deciding on the
most suitable location.
Be sure that the wall type is appropriate for the mounting U-brackets, that is, either solid
wood, bricks, concrete, hollow building blocks, or wood studs.
Check that the mounting location is free of obstructions, such as electrical piping, AC
ducts or water lines, and so on.
Installing the Speaker Wires
To install the speakers:
1. Prepare the wires for the speakers:
Cut the wires to similar lengths for achieving high quality sound.
Measure the length from each speaker to the amplifier and cut the wires accordingly,
adding some excess wire length to let you easily remove the speakers from the
U-bracket without having to disconnect the input wires.
Make sure that you use weatherproof cables.
2. Strip the ends of the wires to expose a length of approximately 3/8 inch.

3. Adjust each speaker to the appropriate tap setting:
Set the tap according to the power requirements of the speaker based on its
location in the room (for example, a speaker located in a remote corner may require
additional power).
Figure 2: Adjust Tap Selector
4. Connect the wires to the appropriate terminal block connectors on the speaker (see
Figure 3).
5. Mount the grommet/cable gland on the protective cover and pass the cables through
the grommet/cable gland and the protective cover .
6. Close the tap selector and connector opening with the protective cover .
7. Mount the U-brackets , see Installing the Mounting U-Brackets, on page 7.
8. Pass the speaker wires through the round hole in the mounting U-bracket.
9. Connect one of the + and –
terminal block pairs on the rear
panel by connecting the wire from
the:
Left speaker wires to amplifier
“L” terminal blocks.
Right speaker wires to amplifier
“R” terminal blocks.
Figure 3: Adjust Tap Selector
10. If required, connect the + and - terminal blocks to the + and - terminal blocks of an
adjacent speaker (as illustrated in the example in Figure 5).

Installing the Mounting U-Brackets
To install the mounting U-brackets:
1. Mark the location of the mounting holes on a wall at the location that you want to mount
the speakers.
2. Screw the mounting screws into the wall.
If the location is backed by wall studs, you can use the wood screws (not included). If the
location is backed by a gypsum board, use wall anchors (not included).
3. Slide a speaker into each mounting U-bracket .
4. Align the U-bracket screw holes (upper and lower) to those on the speaker and screw a
knob to each of the holes to secure the speaker to the U-bracket (see Figure 4).
Figure 4: Galil 6-AW with U-Brackets Connected
5. Slide the mounting U-bracket over the mounting screws to secure it in place.
6. You can slightly loosen the knobs on a speaker to adjust its direction.

Setting up an Array Installation
When installing the Galil 6-AW in an array layout, you need to define the distance between
each of the speakers. The distance between the speakers is determined according to the
uniformity of the desired coverage and budget. Figure 5 shows an example of parallel wiring in
a square array installation:
