SpeakerCraft S4 User Manual

INSTALLATION
Guidelines
• Use the Multi-Room Selectors only with amplifiers rated at 125 watts per channel or less.
• The InstaLLock™ connectors on the S4 and S8 accept wire from 18 AWG to 14 AWG. If you are not sure
about the gauge of the wire you intend to use please consult your SpeakerCraft dealer.
• To avoid possible damage to your amplifier, pay careful attention to the section titled "Protection Settings".
• There are two sets of adhesive area labels for use in identifying the locations of speakers. One set is for
use on the front of the connector. The other set is included with the InstaLLock™ connector and can be
used to more clearly identify wires once they are secured to the InstaLLock™ connector.
Placement
The unique suction feet on the bottom of the selectors
increase placement options and hold the selector securely
when buttons are depressed. The suction feet are designed
to work well with a variety of textures that cover the tops of
other components.
Connecting Wires to the Selector
For easy installation SpeakerCraft supplies the
InstaLLock™ wiring harness for connecting the speakers to
the selector. If you are using the Multi-Room Selector with
distributed audio, you may wish to connect the InstaLLock™
wiring harness to the speaker wires and then at a latter time
plug it into the selector. The selector can then be quickly
connected at the time of "trim out".
