Speaker Connection Polarity
All the speakers in a system must be hooked up with the same polarity or “in phase.” The terminals
on the SoundWare XL 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 amplier
is connected to the “+” terminal of the speaker, and “–” is connected to “–”, at every connection.
Connecting the Speakers
Before connecting the speakers:
1 Turn o all the system components.
2 Set the transformer switch to the appropriate position. If the speaker is being connected to a
conventional audio system, set the switch to the Dir X position. This overrides the transformer and
sends the signal directly to the crossover. If the speaker is part of a 100V/70V Constant Voltage
system, see the information on the following page.
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. Tuck the wire into the channel in the back of the
speaker to keep it neat and out of sight.

Mounting the Speakers
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.
The SoundWare XL can pivot on its mount.
Vertically it can go from facing straight out,
to being tilted down 40 degrees. When the
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,
pivot the speaker into position and retighten
the screw.
