[. . . ] Installation s h o u l d o n l y b e p e r formed by professional installers or those possessing skills in construction, experience with the proper use of hand and power tools, knowledge of local building and electrical codes, and familiarity with the environment in which the VSi 5830, HSi 4830 or HSi N8430 will be installed. Install the speakers to meet all local building, energy, and electrical codes. Since the speaker installation is permanent and the furniture placement may not be, you should first determine the best long-term location for the speakers--one that will accommodate relocation of the furniture in the room while still providing well-balanced sound to the primary listening area. The tweeter and midrange baffle of the speaker has been angled to deliver accurate on-axis response to the listening position. [. . . ] The NCB brackets act as a perfect guide when cutting the wallboard. If you need to remove the grille, gently lift it out at the edges. Use a sharp pointed instrument such as an awl or the optional Boston Acoustics grille pick (sold separately). The response of a speaker changes when it is mounted close to the boundary junctions of a room (near an adjacent wall or close to the corners of the room). Your Boston VSi 5830 loudspeakers have been carefully voiced to compensate for these boundary effects. The speaker is mounted less than 18-inches (46cm) from the junction of two surfaces (wall/ceiling). The speaker is mounted less than 24-inches (61cm) from the junction of three surfaces (a room corner). Less than 24"/61cm ­ Boundary Compensation ON More than 24"/61cm ­ Boundary Compensation OFF Less than 18"/46cm ­ Boundary Compensation ON More than 18"/46cm ­ Boundary Compensation OFF Always turn off the amplifier or receiver when connecting speakers or any other components to the system. Installation should only be performed by professional installers or those possessing skills in construction, experience with the proper use of hand tools, knowledge of local building and electrical codes, and familiarity with the environment in which the speaker will be installed. Install the speaker to meet all local building, energy, and electrical codes. A utility knife, jigsaw, or other tool for cutting the required hole in the mounting surface · Make a small hole at the center of the speaker location. Insert a long, bent piece of wire and rotate it to confirm that there are no obstructions behind the chosen location (see diagram #2). Run the wire from the amplifier location to the cutout. Allow for an extra foot of wire at the cutout. The speaker jack will accept either bare wire up to 12gauge or single banana plugs. The mounting arms will pivot into position and clamp the speaker to the mounting surface (see diagram #4). The tweeter and midrange baffle can be rotated, preventing the need to loosen the entire speaker to properly position the baffle. To rotate the speaker baffle, first turn the four flathead screws 90º counterclockwise into the "Unlock" position (see diagram #5 and #6). Rotate the baffle so that the arrows point toward the center of the listening area for direct operation and toward a corner for diffuse operation. Refer to Placement/Location Tips for more information on proper positioning. Do not directly touch the tweeter or midrange drivers. Once the baffle is in the desired position, turn the flathead screws to the "Lock" position. [. . . ] Com We will promptly advise you of what action to take.
