SPEAKER INSTALLATION
1. Hold the loudspeakers near the cutout and connect the loudspeaker wires. Make sure the cable ends
are securely tightened and no bare wire is standing out.
2. Insert the loudspeaker into the cutout and align the speaker.
3. Using a Hex 3 key, turn each mounting screw clockwise until it is firmly in place. This will automatically
turn the red mounting legs inside by 90 degrees, and each further turn with the Allen Key will pull the
loudspeaker against the wall. If you are using an electric screwdriver, set it to the lowest torque to
prevent overtightening or damaging the wall, and tighten with a Hex key by hand.

4. Attach the included grill to the loudspeaker and place the Lyngdorf Logo (optional).
