Surround (Dipole)
The Dual Tweeter models can be used for either one channel (surround) or two
channels (stereo). A switch is located on the back of the speaker to select which
mode to use. One of the inputs is labeled for surround. This is the input that
should be used if you’re only using one channel.
Dual Tweeters
In this mode, two channels are fed into the speaker: one channel for each tweeter.
This setup is ideal for small rooms such as walk-in closets and bathrooms, as well

Ideally, the two speakers should be
placed an equal distance from the lis-
tener. If the room has a lower ceiling,
the speakers can be closer together.
Also, if the speaker placement is in-
tended for standing (as opposed to
sitting) listeners, the speakers can be
closer together.

1. Installing the Wire
Use a two conductor wire that allows you to identify one conductor from the oth-
er. This designation may be obvious or as subtle as a ridge on one conductor.
It’s crucial that you keep track of which wire you use for positive (+) and negative
(-). Typically if the wires are colored red and black, the red wire is used for positive
and the black wire is used for negative, but sometimes other colors or patterns
are used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to be positive and
negative as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.

Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several
methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.

route “tape wire” under the carpet.
Under the Carpet
The wire can be routed behind the
baseboard by cutting a groove out of
the back of the baseboard, or by buy-
ing special baseboard designed for
concealing wires.
Behind the Baseboard
When available, you can route the wire
through an attic or crawlspace.
Attic or Basement
When running wires through a wall, be
sure to avoid all obstacles such as AC
wiring, pipes, and ducts.
