PLACEMENT
(See Fig. 1 & Fig. 2)
The speaker can be placed on a stand below, and in front of the video screen
(TV), or it can be wall-mounted above or below the video screen as shown in
Fig. 1 (more about wall mounting later).
For surround speaker placement, see Fig. 2 for optional surround back. Note:
Surround back speakers should be centered approximately 2-3 feet above
the seated listener’s ear level.
MOUNTING OPTIONS
(See Fig. 3)
To wall mount your Saga speaker, it is supplied with two 1/4˝ - 20 inserts on
the rear of the enclosure. You can purchase many after-market universal
mounts that will work with the 1/4˝- 20 inserts and hang it on your wall, or
suspend it under your video display with metal straps from the video mount.
Be certain the mounting system you choose is rated to support the weight of
the speaker. Note: If you mount the speaker under your video screen, be
sure the vents (screened openings in top of the enclosure) are not blocked.
You can invert the enclosure so the vents point down to avoid blockage. The
system will work normally.
HOOKING UP YOUR SAGA SPEAKERS
(See Fig. 4)
STOP! – Make sure that you consult your amplifier’s owner’s manual
regarding speaker hook-up. Your amplifier should be turned off throughout
this procedure.
Most speaker wire is polarity coded. This means that each conductor is
labeled either (+) positive or (-) negative. The (+) positive side may be a
different color or texture than the (-) negative side. On the back of your
amplifier, each channel should be labeled (+) and (-) as well as color-coded
red for (+) positive and black for (-) negative. Saga speaker terminals are
color-coded red for (+) positive and black for (-) negative. Be sure to hook
(+) to (+), (red to red), and (-) to (-), (black to black). (See Fig. 4.) All
connections should be tight. Inspect connections for frays and stray strands
of wire touching both (+) and (-) terminals. (This will cause a short and,
perhaps, damage your equipment.)
