2. Connecting
You are now ready to connect and install the speaker.
Connecting (Fig. 5a)
(all models except those with‘SM’ in their name, see below)
Connect the speaker cable. Correct polarity, or phase is critical for proper stereo imaging and
bass performance.
Connect the red (+) amplifier terminal to the red (+) speaker terminal. Connect the black
(-) amplifier terminal to the black (-) speaker terminal. Fasten cable to bracket with wire tie.
Connecting ‘SM’ Models
Two Speakers (Fig. 5b): Connect one speaker at a time to the left and right channels of
your receiver/amplifier. First, convert the Right speaker to Mono: Using a short piece of
cable, connect the Right red (+) speaker terminal to the Left red (+) speaker terminal and
the Right black (-) speaker terminal to the Left black (-) amplifier terminal. Then …
Connect the Right red (+) amplifier terminal to the Right red (+) speaker terminal and the
Right black (-) amplifier terminal to the Right black (-) speaker terminal.
Repeat the entire procedure for the Left speaker.
One Speaker (Fig. 5c): Connect one speaker channel at a time to your receiver/amplifier.
Connect the Right red (+) amplifier terminal to the Right red (+) speaker terminal and
the Right black (-) amplifier terminal to the Right black (-) speaker terminal. Connect the
Left red (+) amplifier terminal to the Left red (+) speaker terminal and the Left black (-)
amplifier terminal to the Left black (-) speaker terminal.
3. Installing the Speaker
IMPORTANT! While it is possible to use a manual screwdriver for installation, we strongly
suggest using a power drill. To avoid damaging or breaking the clamps, set your drill to
a LOW setting. A high power setting is NOT necessary and may cause clamps to crack or
break from the added force. Such damage is NOT covered under warranty.
1) Set your Power Drill to the Low setting.
2) Ensure the clamps on the lip of the speaker are positioned exactly as shown in the
Warning Diagrams on the top of page 9 and 10. If they are not correctly positioned,
refer to these diagrams.
3) Gently push the assembly into the ceiling or wall hole (Fig. 3c or 4d).
4) Supporting the assembly with one hand, tighten each screw (Fig. 3d or 4e). Stop
tightening when you sense resistance.
Models with Guided Soundfield ™ : Rotate speaker at this point so that drive assembly
points in the desired direction (not shown).
4. Installing the Grille
1) Gently press the grille onto the front face of the speaker (Fig. 3e or 4f). The magnets
will ensure correct attachment.
2) Add the Paradigm logo, if desired.
