Boston Acoustics Indoor / Outdoor Speaker Manuel D’Utilisation

The SoundWare speakers pivot on their mounts. 

Vertically they can go from facing straight out to being 

tilted down 40 degrees. When the fl at wall mounting 

bracket is used they can pivot side to side 20 degrees. 

(Note: Corner mounting will not allow the speaker to 

pivot side-to-side.) Loosen the pivot set screw on the 

front of the pivoting ball mount, pivot the speaker into 

position and retighten the screw.

For short runs of less then 20 feet or so you can use 16 gauge wire. But typically you should use 

heavier 14 gauge wire. That is good enough for runs up to 50 feet or so. For runs of more than 50 feet 

use 12 gauge wire. 

All the speakers in a system must be hooked up with the same polarity or “in phase.” The terminals on 

the SoundWare speakers are color coded to identify the “+” (red) and “–” (black) connections. All wire 

is marked in some way so you can tell one conductor from the other. The marking may be a ridge 

molded into the insulation of one conductor, or it may have a stripe on the insulation, or it may be 

color coded. Use the marking on the speaker wires to be sure that the “+” terminal of the amplifi er is 

connected to the “+” terminal of the speaker, and “–” is connected to “–”, at every connection. 

Separate the two conductors of the wire. Remove 

about 3/8” of insulation from the end of the wire. Push 

down on the top of the terminal to open the hole for 

the wire. Insert the wire and release the terminal to 

secure it. Be sure there are no loose strands of wire. 

Note:  there is a channel in the back of the speaker for 

the wire, to keep it neat and out of sight.

Once you have the bracket mounted and the speaker 

connected the rest is easy.

1  Put the rounded end of the speaker mount in the 

bracket and slide it down to lock it in place. 

2  Optional – Insert and tighten the screw to secure 

everything.
