ASSEMBLING THE FLOORSTAND
Assembling the stand
1. The PHI stand is supplied with the base detached from the column.
2. Feed your speaker cable through the stand column. The cable can exit
through the hole at the bottom center of the stand base.
3. Secure the stand base to the column and tighten the two supplied fixing
screws.
Attaching the stand to the speaker
1. Connect the cable to the speaker terminals. Refer to the Center and
Satellite Speaker Connections. Pull enough cable out of the top of the
column to allow it to reach the speaker terminals comfortably when the
satellite is fixed in position.
2. Attach the speaker to the stand with the supplied long screw.
3. Re-fit the Trim cap on the speaker and tighten the fixing screw.
CENTER AND SATELLITE SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Turn Off All Power
After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system.
First, turn off all audio-system power. Use the speaker wire provided,
or use high-quality speaker wire with polarity coding to make your
connections. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually
considered positive polarity (i.e., +). Also, consult the owner’s manuals
that were included with your amplifier or reciver to confirm connection
procedures. All wires are connected with either bare copper wires or
spades fixed to the screw-head binding posts. Banana plugs cannot
be used.
Satellites
Observe polarities when making speaker connections.
Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or
receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker.
Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.
Important!
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making connections.
Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response.
Be certain that positive and negative wire strands are completely isolated
to avoid short circuits that may damage your equipment.
Center Channel
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as explained under
Satellites. Make sure that the polarity for the Center Speaker is identical to
the Satellites.
