Dual 4” LCR Onwall Speaker

THE F400 CONTENTS

Each F400 package contains the following:

• One (1) F400 speaker for left, center, or right placement

• Mounting bracket hardware for vertical or horizontal wall mounting

• Installation Guide and Owner’s Manual

• Mounting Template

INSTALLATION QUICK START

The following is the recommended installation procedure:

1. Run the speaker cables (not included), preferably 14-gauge (or larger) high-quality unshielded stranded wire. Use bare wires on the speaker

end, or terminate the cables with spades (banana plugs may protrude too far from the back of the speaker).

2. Attach the speaker wires to the F400 input connectors (refer to Rear Panel section).

3. Mount the F400 speakers (refer to Placement and Mounting Procedure sections).

PLACEMENT

Mount one each of the F400 On-Wall Cinema Speakers vertically on the left and right sides of a flat-panel display for stereo operation. One

F400 may be mounted horizontally above or below the display as a center channel for LCR (left-center-right) cinema performance.

NOTE: The F400 speaker drivers are not magnetically shielded, therefore close proximity to a CRT display will cause interference.

Left/Right Placement.

It is recommended that vertically mounted speakers be centered with the left/right sides of the display. Alternately, alignment with the bot-

tom of the display may be desirable when the display is placed significantly above listening level. See DIAGRAM 1.

F400 Speakers centered with left/right sides F400 Speakers aligned with bottom of display

DIAGRAM 1

Mount the speaker so that the side of the speaker closest to the display does not

come into contact with the display (2- to 3-inches is a good working distance).

Optimal distance from the side of the display will depend on the predicted listening

position. Distance between the left and right speakers should as closely equal the

distance from one speaker to the listener as possible. See DIAGRAM 2.

Center Channel Placement

Center the center channel horizontal speaker with the top or bottom width of the

display. The center channel speaker may be mounted either above or below the

display, depending on the placement of the display itself. The speaker placement is

closest to the level of the listener’s ears is the recommended choice.

MOUNTING PROCEDURE

Follow the mounting procedure below. Use DIAGRAM 3 for visual reference.

1. Attach the mounting bracket to the wall, either horizontally or vertically. Screws or bolts for this purpose are not included. Use an

appropriate method for attaching the bracket either to a drywall cavity or stud.

2. Connect the speaker wires to the F400 rear panel connectors.

3. Attach and secure the F400 speaker to the mounting bracket, using the included bracket bolts.

SPEAKER FRONT

The F400 speaker components are configured symmetrically, achieving wide dispersion on both the horizontal and vertical planes. The low-

frequency bass reflex design incorporates large radius port flares for lower turbulence, allowing closer proximity of the listener to the speaker.

The 1” pivoting tweeters can be positioned for optimal directivity. Low- and high-frequency contour switches allow ±3dB fine tuning of indi-

vidual speaker frequency response. See sections, Pivoting Tweeter Adjustment and Contour Switch Settings, respectively, for more informa-

tion.

REAR PANEL

The real panel contains the F400 Speaker Terminals. Speaker wire should be connected prior to securing the F400 Speaker to the mounting

bracket. Before proceeding, make sure that power to the audio amplifier is switched OFF.

Installing Mounting

Bracket and Speaker

Connect the speaker wires to the respective output of the audio amplifier (left output to left speaker, etc.). Connect the opposite end of the

speaker wires to the rear panel Speaker Terminals, matching the polarity of the amplifier output to the speaker input, + to + (red) and – to

– (black). DIAGRAM 4 shows the F400 rear panel connector panel.

CONTOUR SWITCH SETTINGS

The F400 front panel Contour Switches provide subtle frequency adjustment control, allowing a boost or cut of the treble and bass response

by ±3dB. Determine through listening or test procedures if the F400 speakers require this adjustment.

To adjust the Contour Switches:

1. Carefully remove the F400 grill cover.

2. Using the Contour Switches shown in DIAGRAM 5, make the following adjustments for the desired result.

• Add bass: Move the bass switch to the +3 position.

• Lower bass: Move the bass switch to the -3 position.

• Add treble: Move the treble switch to the +3 position.

• Lower treble: Move the treble switch to the -3 position.

Tweeter Adjustment

PIVOTING TWEETER ADJUSTMENT

The pivoting tweeters can be pointed toward the listening position for optimal directivity. If you have mounted the F400 Speakers off-axis

from the listener’s ear level, you may gently move the tweeter position to compensate for the loss of directivity. Follow the instructions in

DIAGRAM 6, below.
