performance of the systems because it doubles the conductivity of the amplifier-to-
speaker connection.
VS 224 Wall-Mounting
TheVS224wall-mountbracketattachestothewalldirectlyforpositioning
the speaker flat on the wall. The angled mounting plate is used for angled
positioning of the speaker on the wall. The angled mounting plate is
attached to the wall and then the wall-mount bracket attaches to the
angled mounting plate. Make sure that the speaker is oriented in the proper
direction before you start. The Port should be at the top of the speaker when
installing.Whenattachingthewall-mountbrackettothewallortheangled

Speaker Connections
Before you connect the speakers turn off all the system components. The VS Speakers feature
gold-plated5-waybindingposts.Theycanacceptbarewires,pinlugs,spadelugs,bananaplugs
or dual banana plugs.

of the wire insulation. Twist the strands of the wire into a neat bundle. Unscrew the hexagonal top
of the terminal. Insert the wire into the hole in the terminal center post and turn the hexagonal top
to clamp the wire in place.
If you are using pin lugs or spade lugs, attach them to the wires as specified by the manufacturer.

If you are using single or dual banana plugs attached them to the wire as specified by the
manufacturer. Do not unscrew the hexagonal top of the terminal. Simply insert the banana plugs
into the holes in the back of the terminals.
For information on connecting the speaker wires to your receiver or amplifier, refer to its owner’s manual.
