(tower) loudspeakers have a
high center of gravity and may
become unstable and tip over
during earthquakes, or if
rocked, tipped or improperly
positioned. If this is a concern,
these speakers should be
anchored to the wall behind
them, using the same proce-
dures and hardware custom-
ary for anchoring bookcases
and wall units. The customer
is responsible for proper
installation and proper selec-
tion of hardware.

Speakers and electronics ter-
minals have corresponding (+)
and (–) terminals. It is impor-
tant to connect both speakers
identically: (+) on the speaker
to (+) on the amplifier and (–)
on the speaker to (–) on the
amplifier. Wiring “out of
phase” results in thin sound,
weak bass and poor imaging.
With the advent of multichan-
nel surround sound systems,
connecting all of the speakers
in your system with the cor-
rect polarity remains equally
important in order to preserve
the proper ambience and
directionality of the program
material.
