The plaque of each speaker rotates so that you can posi-
tion the speakers upside down.
 
Caution:
 
A mounting screw’s ability to support a speaker 
depends on how well it’s anchored to the wall. If you 
have hollow walls, screw each mounting screw into a 
stud. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use 
suitable wall anchors.
Use screws with a head diameter of 9.5 mm or less and a 
shank diameter of 4 mm or less. With hollow walls, use 
a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or 
water pipes before making any holes.
Leave a gap of 5 mm 
between the wall and the 
base of the screw head, as 
shown.
(We recommend that you 
consult a home installation 
professional.)
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• Turn off your amp before making any connections.
• The nominal impedance of these speakers is 6 
 
Ω
 
. Use 
only an amp that supports this impedance.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Con-
nect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) termi-
nals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) 
terminals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the 
sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Be careful not to short the 
positive and negative wires. 
Doing so may damage your 
amp.
 
 
Connecting the Speaker Cables
 
Threaded inserts for 5 mm machine screws are provided 
for wall-mounting with commercially available speaker 
mounts and brackets (SKC-L500C: rear, SKM-L500S: 
rear and buttom). Refer to the manual supplied with 
your mounts or brackets for installation details.
 
Note:
 
The portion of the screw that 
goes into the speaker’s 
threaded insert should be 
between 5 mm and 9 mm 
long.
The speakers can handle the specified input power when 
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the fol-
lowing signals are fed to them, even if the input power is 
within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in 
the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:
 
1.
 
Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
 
2.
 
Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
 
3.
 
High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, elec-
tronic musical instrument, and so on.
 
4.
 
Amplifier oscillation.
 
5.
 
Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
 
6.
 
Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-
necting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier 
before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
 
7.
 
Microphone feedback.
• The speakers contain strong magnets, so do not put 
magnetic or iron objects such as screwdrivers close to 
them. If you do, the object may be attached to the 
magnets, causing personal injury or damage to the 
diaphragm.
 
Connecting the Speakers
 
1
 
Strip the insulation from the 
ends of the speaker cables, 
and twist the bare wires tightly.
 
2
 
Use the cables to connect each speaker’s 
input terminals to the corresponding 
speaker output terminals on your amp.
 
To make a connection, while 
pressing the terminal lever, 
insert the wire into the hole, and 
then release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are 
gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.
