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 http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp
to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if
firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer Speaker away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
Do not open the housing of the speaker; doing so may reduce the
quality of the sound.

This section explains how to:
Choose the best location for your speakers (see Section 4.1)
Cut the wall (see Section 4.2)
Install the speaker wires (see Section 4.3)
Mount onto the wall (see Section 4.4)
Setup an array installation (see Section 4.5)
4.1 Choosing the Best Location
Before installing the speaker make sure that:
The desired location is free of obstructions, such as electrical piping, AC
ducts or water lines, and so on
There is enough space behind the mounting surface for the speakers
The rear side of the speaker is not blocked by wall studs or other objects
4.2 Cutting the Wall
To cut the wall, do the following:
1. Mark the location of the opening, using the template measurements.
2. Cut out the opening according to the template.
Initially, you can cut a smaller area inside the marked area just to be sure that the
space behind the speakers is clear
