Place the sound isolation foot pads under each corner of the speaker to minimize vibrations and improve sound quality. This is especially important if the speakers are placed on a hard surface or a surface prone to vibrations.

For optimal sound quality, follow these speaker placement guidelines:

• Place the speakers at ear level or slightly above when seated.
• Position the speakers at an equal distance from the listening position, forming an equilateral triangle.
• Angle the speakers slightly inward, pointing them towards the listening position.
• For surround sound applications, place the speakers beside or behind the listener, utilizing the room's acoustics to reflect sound for a multi-directional home theater experience.

5. Connecting to an Amplifier

These speakers require an external amplifier for power. Follow these steps to connect the speakers to an amplifier:

1. Ensure the amplifier is turned off.
2. Strip the ends of the speaker wire, exposing approximately 1/2 inch of the wire.
3. Insert the exposed wire into the corresponding speaker terminals on the back of the speaker, ensuring that the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on the speaker match the corresponding terminals on the amplifier.
4. Tighten the terminals to secure the speaker wire in place.
5. Repeat this process for the other speaker.
6. Turn on the amplifier and adjust the volume to the desired level.

6. Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues with the speakers, try the following troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure the speakers are properly connected to the amplifier, with the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals correctly matched.
• Check the speaker wire for any damage or breaks. Replace the wire if necessary.
• Verify that the amplifier is turned on and functioning properly.
