Wall
or
Ceiling
Mounting
If
you plan
to
mount your speakers on a wall or ceiling, there
are
bracket
systems available
to
accomplish this.
Your
AP4
speakers include
two
standard
3/8"
threaded inserts on the rear panel and another identical insert
on the
bottom
of
each
AP4
cabinet for attaching aspeaker mountor bracket.
We
recommend using products by companies
such
as
OmniMount or
Sanus.
Before installing the mounts or brackets make
sure
you consult all
documentation and carefully follow the installation instructions.
Connections
To
connect your
AP4
speakers
to
a receiver or amp you will need
2-conductor stranded speaker wire. All Audioengine speakers
use
high
quality, five-way gold plated binding posts that will accept heavy gauge
bare wire, banana plugs, spade lugs, or pin terminators.
We
recommend
your speaker wire be at least
16
gauge and you
use
the
same
length
of
wire
from your amplifier
to
each
speaker.
It's also a good idea
to
turn
off
your
receiver/amplifier before connecting your speakers.
Preparing
the
Speaker
Wire
~
Separate the last 3"
of
each
speaker wire conductor.
@ Strip
Y2"
of
insulation from the end
of
each
wire.
~
Twist the exposed copper strands with your fingers 3 or 4 times
so
the
strands stay together.
Note:
As
you make your connections, be
sure
to
connect the positive
(+)
terminals on your receiver
to
the positive
(+)
terminals on your speakers.
Even
if
your wire does not have
(+)
or
(-)
markings, most 2-conductor
speaker wire
has
printing on one side
to
help you differentiate between the
wire
.pairs.
