How to install

Choosing where to place the speaker systems

• Sounds played through speaker systems are easily affected in 

subtle ways by the conditions in the listening space.

• For best sound, choose a solid floor upon which to place the 

speakers, and position the speakers as illustrated above. The 

level of low sounds can be adjusted by moving the speakers 

closer to or further from the back wall. Adjust the speakers so 

that they are equidistant from their respective side walls to 

assure balanced sound.

• Place the left and right speakers equal distances from your 

listening position for good stereo sound. Use speaker cords of 

the same length for each speaker.

• If the room has a lot of reverberation, we recommend hanging 

heavy fabric on the walls, and/or putting a carpet on the floor 

to damp the sound. For best results, cover walls completely.

• Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface. It could 

present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the equipment.

• These speakers are bookshelf-type speakers which will give 

their best performance when placed on a solid, level surface 

off the floor. Placing the speakers directly on the floor will 

result in boomy, undefined sound. Ideally, the tweeters should 

be at about ear level when seated in your listening position. 

• This unit has two screw holes on the 

bottom panel. These holes are 

meant for joint use with speaker 

brackets and speaker stands; 

speaker brackets are commercially 

available and can be used to mount 

the speakers on a wall or ceiling. The 

diagram on the right shows the 

spacing and size of the holes. When 

choosing a speaker bracket, make 

sure that it can hold at least 2.9 kg (6 

lbs 6 oz.). Please read through the 

safety cautions on this operating 

instruction, also the instructions 

that come with the bracket. Speakers that are not mounted 

properly are a hazard. 

Mounting the Safety support fixture

• Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the speakers on 

is strong enough to support them.

• Pass a commercially-available strong cord through the safety 

support fixture to securely support the speaker to the wall. Be 

sure that the wall to which you fasten the speaker is strong 

enough to support the weight of the speaker. After fastening 

the speaker, make sure that it does not fall over.

• Do not attach the safety support fixture directly to the wall. It 

should only be used in conjunction with strong cord to prevent 

the speaker from falling.

• Do not install your speakers overhead on the ceiling or wall. 

The grill is designed to be detachable, and as such it may fall 

and cause damage or personal injury if installed overhead.

• Using the accessory screws, fasten the safety support fixtures 

to the holes in the bottom of the speakers.

Examples of mounting the speaker system using the 

safety support fixture

Mounting on the wall

Mounting on the ceiling

• Loosen the screw on the grille’s back once, then bind the 

strong cord around the screw several times and tighten the 

screw.

• Pass two strong cords through the safety support fixture, and 

fasten the speaker to the wall or ceiling as shown above.

• If you mount the speakers on the wall or ceiling, first make 

sure that the mounting surface can bear at least 2.9 kg (6 lbs 

6 oz.). If you’re unsure of the load capability, please seek 

professional advice.

• When installing the speaker on the ceiling, the speaker will be 

upside down. Even so, putting the grille in the proper way (the 

way you can read Pioneer logo in the right way) is 

recommended.

• After installing, make sure the speakers are securely fixed.
