TABLE OF CONTENT

Wall mount speakers securely enough that they do not

fall and cause personal injury or damage to property.

Use safety straps (included with MB-60 Brackets, sold

separately). Detailed information on attaching straps is

included with the brackets.

Paradigm DOES NOT supply hardware for mounting

speakers to the wall. Hardware shown in this manual

is for example only and will vary depending on wall

type. Use screws appropriate for wall type and weight

of speakers.

If installing into drywall, install into 1/2˝ (13 mm) or 5/8˝

(16 mm) drywall only. Screws must be long enough to

go through anchor bolts (not supplied).

For stability, bumper pads (included) must be used

when placing surround/rear speakers on a flat surface.

Please see the section on "Placement: Surround / Rear

Speakers" for more info.

IMPORTANT: Read before wall mounting bookshelf speakers.

IMPORTANT: Read before placing surround speakers on flat surface.

FLOOR TANDING PEAKER :

ATTACHING BA E & OPTIONAL PIKE

Attach base while speakers are still in carton, following the unpacking

instructions provided. (Rubber feet come pre-installed on base).

Optional: f you prefer to use the spikes provided, unscrew the rubber

feet and carefully screw the spikes (with jam nuts) into the base

Spikes and rubber feet are NOT to be used

without the base.

OPTIONAL:

BOOK HELF PEAKER :

ATTACHING BUMPER PAD

Self-adhesive bumper pads (includ d) may be applied to the bottom

corners of bookshelf speakers (as shown) when placed on a shelf or other

flat surface. This will isolate your speakers from the solid surface, improving

overall sound quality.

Break-In

Although Paradigm Monitor Series 7 speakers sound great “out of

the carton,” they will sound even better when broken in. Allow them to

operate for several hours before you listen critically.

High-frequency drivers use ferro-fluid that can thicken at temperatures

below 10° C (50° F). f your speakers have been transported or stored

in the cold let them warm to room temperature before use.

Cleaning

Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner on your speakers. Clean

them with a damp soft cloth, but do not get them wet. Do not place

wet objects, such as drinking glasses or potted plants, on top of the

speakers. f allowed to soak in, even a small amount of water may

permanently damage the speaker enclosure.

Rubber Feet and Optional Spikes

On floorstanding models, the speaker base comes with rubber feet

pre-installed. f you intend to use isolation spikes (includ d with

floorstanding sp ak rs), rubber feet must be removed. We highly

recommend installing these spikes if speakers are to be place on

carpet as they will improve the sound of your speakers by isolating

them from the floor. The most convenient time to install these spikes

is during the unpacking process.

Optional Paradigm Speaker Stands

We highly recommend placing Monitor Series 7 bookshelf speakers

on high-performance Paradigm speaker stands (sold s parat ly), or

bookshelves to raise the high-frequency drivers to approximately ear

level, thereby ensuring the best performance possible.

Wall ounting

Pilot holes spaced 60 mm apart are provided on the back of all

Monitor Series 7 bookshelf models for use with Paradigm wall mounting

brackets (sold s parat ly). Monitor surround speakers also have pre-

drilled pilot holes but are sold with wall-mounting brackets.

For onitor surround speakers use the

wall-mounting brackets included.

Monitor Series 7 speakers are efficient and can be driven to loud listening

levels with moderate amplifier power. They are also able to handle the

output of very powerful amplifiers. To prevent damage to your speakers,

please read the following guidelines before hooking them up.

Amplifier Distortion—The #1 Culprit!

Amplifier distortion is the principal cause of speaker damage. When listening

at loud levels your amplifier may run out of clean power. t will then begin

to produce distorted power several times greater than its rated output power.

This will damage any brand of speaker very quickly! (S your D al r for

amplifi r r comm ndations).

ore Powerful Amplifiers are Safer

A 40 watts per channel amplifier will have substantial distortion above

40 watts. f driven to 50 watts, this amplifier will deliver distorted power—

which will damage the speaker! A 100 watts per channel amplifier will

have substantial distortion above 100 watts, but very low distortion below

100 watts. When the speaker requires 50 watts, this more powerful

amplifier will deliver clean power and speaker damage is less likely.

Volume Control

Do not be fooled by the Volume Control of your receiver/preamplifier. t

only adjusts listening level—it is not a “power-output” dial. The amount

of amplifier power actually used at a given Volume Control setting depends

solely on the nature of the music you are listening to. At a given Volume

Control setting a quiet section of music will use less amplifier power than

a loud section. With typical pop-rock, jazz or large scale classical music

the rated output power of many receivers/amplifiers is often reached

when the Volume Control is between the “11” and “1” o’clock settings

(with bass/treble and loudness controls not used—otherwise rated

power may be reached at even lower Volume Control settings).
