3. Installation

The Installation process is divided into three distinct processes: 

Wiring, Mounting,  

and

 Connection. 

After carefully considering the intended application (defi ning a Listening 

Area, Mono/Stereo, etc.) specifi c mounting locations can be decided upon. Once the specifi c 
locations are determined, installation can commence. 

Wiring

Before actually running any wire or cable, take the time to look around each room or area of the 
house and plan your wire paths for maximum effi ciency. Look for routes through uncluttered 
parts of the stud wall or ceiling that allow you to group all low-voltage wires wherever possible. It 
is a good practice to label both ends of all cables and to protect wires by tying a plastic bag over 
the ends.

Wiring Methodology

There are three common scenarios for connecting speakers to an audio system. Figures 3.2 to 
3.4 show stereo pairs, while Figures 3.5 and 3.6 show examples of mono and DVC applications, 
respectively. Each stereo method can also be used for mono or DVC applications.
