Ensurethat the wall/ceiling is sufficiently strong.Illustrations in this manual are for the VXS5. The installation method is thesame for other models.Pre-installation (Preparation of the cable)Use stranded wire for cables attached to the Euroblock connector. Striptheir insulation as shown in the figure and connect them.NOTEDo not plate stranded wires by solder. Doing so will cause the wire to break.An installed speaker is shown below. Install the bracket base and attach themounting bracket as shown.NOTE• When installing the speaker to the ceiling with the grille parallel to theground, install the speaker horizontally.• When installing the speaker to the ceiling, be sure to install the bracketbase with its shaft facing horizontally, and not inclined to the ground.• Mounting bracket is made to not turn left or right when installing thespeaker to the ceiling.1 Put the bracket base onto the wall/ceiling and mark the position forthe screws/bolts and cables. The diameter of the screw/bolt holes atthe four corners is M6, and speaker cables hole at the center isø11 mm.2 Make holes through the wall/ceiling for the bolts and cables,as required, and feed the boltsand cables from the amplifierthrough the holes, as shown.3 Install the bracket base ontothe wall/ceiling. Make sure tofasten four corners of thebracket base.4 Pass cables through the gap atthe lower part of the bracketcover, and put the bracketcover on the bracket base.NOTEIf you want to adjust the slack ofcables last, the bracket covercan be attached after step 5-6.Installing to the wall Installing to the ceilingVerticalHorizontal1 INSTALL THE BRACKET BASE ONTO THE WALL /CEILINGAbout 7 mm (0.3 in.)Bracket coverBracket base1 Remove the Euroblock connector.2 After loosening the terminal screws of the Euroblock connector with aflat-blade screwdriver, insert the cable into each terminal and tightenthe screws. Make sure that cables cannot be pulled out.NOTEUse a flat-blade screwdriver with a blade less than 3 mm (0.1 in.).There are two acceptable wiring methods.CAUTIONWhen connecting with low impedance, take note of the combinedresistance.Using Loop-Through TerminalsFor this method, cables are connected from terminals 1 and 4 to thesubsequent speaker. If the Euroblock connector is disconnected froma speaker, all subsequent speakers will not work. This can be usefulto identify which speaker has a problem.Paralleling Input TerminalsFor this method, cables are connected to terminals 2 and 3 of eachspeaker. Since the cables are connected via Euroblock connectors,subsequent speakers can work even if a problem occurs with aspeaker.2 CONNECT THE WIRING TO THE CONNECTOREuroblock connectorEuroblock connectorLess than 3 mm (0.1 in.)From amplifier orprevious speakers To subsequentspeakersTosubsequentspeakersEuroblockconnectorPoweramplifierSpeakerFrom amplifier orprevious speakersTo subsequentspeakersPoweramplifierSpeakerEuroblockconnectorTosubsequentspeakersSelect the line voltage/impedance (100V/70V/8Ω) and power tap for 100V/70V line distributed system, by rotating the tap selector switch on the rearside of the speaker with a flat-blade screwdriver.CAUTION• The “X” position should not be selected. The 8Ω position should beselected for 8Ω audio systems only. If the setting is incorrect, it maycause malfunction of the speaker and amplifier.• Make sure the amplifier is switched off before operating the tap selectorswitch.1 Attach the mounting bracket and safety wire to the speaker. Use thesupplied screws to attach the mounting bracket.The way to attach the mounting bracket depends on the orientation ofthe speaker (vertical or horizontal).2 Set the desired vertical angle of the speaker.Loosen the angle adjustment bolt with the supplied hexagon wrench,adjust the angle of the speaker, and tighten the angle adjustment boltto fix the speaker (indication of torque: 8 N·m).NOTE• Guide marked on the mounting bracket is every 10°.• (VXS8/VXS8W only) When installing the speaker to the wall with avertical angle of 30° or less, attach the supplied stopper screw.1 Install the mounting bracket to the bracket base.3 SET THE LINE VOLTAGE/IMPEDANCE AND POWER4 ATTACH THE MOUNTING BRACKET AND SAFETY WIRENOTEMounting bracket can be attached in reverse direction.5 INSTALL THE SPEAKER TO THE BRACKET BASE AND FIXTHE CABLEIllustration indicates the setting at 30 W for 100 Vline and 15 W for 70 V line.Mounting bracketSafety wireStopper screw(VXS8/VXS8W only)Vertical installationAngleadjustment boltAngle adjustmentboltHorizontal installationStopper screw(VXS8/VXS8W only)To the wall To the ceiling2 Attach the safety pin.Be sure to attach the safety pin to prevent the mounting bracket fromfalling.NOTEThe safety pin can be attached from either side of the mountingbracket depending on the angle of the speaker.3 Plug the Euroblock connector into the socket in the speaker.4 Attach the terminal cover.5 (If installing the speaker to the wall) turn the speaker horizontally toset the angle.6 Make sure the mounting bracket is seated against the bracket base,then tighten the supplied bolt (indication of torque: 6.5 N·m).NOTE• When installing the speaker to the ceiling in particular, make surethe mounting bracket is seated against the bracket base.• The bolt with hexagon hole can be attached from either side of themounting bracket (left or right) depending on the angle of thespeaker.7 Install the safety wire to the wall/ceiling.CAUTION• Make sure to take measures to prevent the speaker from fallingdown in the event of a installation failure.• When installing the safety wire to the wall, install it higher than thewire’s attachment point on the speaker, with as little slack aspossible.• If the safety wire is too short, prepare another wire appropriate forthe speaker weight and installation conditions.
