[. . . ] If you need to transport the speakers, they can be shipped safely only in the original packaging. You may never have to return your loudspeakers, but should the occasion arise, they should not be shipped in any packaging but the original. Should you discard it, you may purchase new packaging from the factory. INSTALLATION The MC1 is a multi-channel speaker designed for front channel, side, or rear channel applications. The MC1 has a frequency response from 80Hz to 24kHz and is intended for use with a subwoofer. Set your processor or receiver to "small speaker" for the MC1. The boundary of a wall or cabinet is calculated in the MC1 design to achieve smooth frequency response to 80Hz. If an optional speaker stand is used, the best results will be achieved by placing the MC1 as close as possible to a wall or cabinet. In front and surround applications, the quasi ribbon tweeter should be faced towards the listener. In all installations, the quasi ribbon should be positioned away from the wall or cabinet, with the speaker wires next to the wall. Connect the (+) red output from your amplifier to the red wire on the MC1, and (-) black of the amplifier to the black wire on the MC1. If the speaker wires are not routed through a wall or cabinet, "hide-a-chord" channels can be attached to the wall as shown below. Page 3 of 9 MC1 WALL BRACKET INSTALLATION 1. Drill holes--5/16" for hollow wall anchors or 3/32" for wood screws. Pull excess wires through lower bracket and set speaker on bottom post. Align hole in top of speaker with hole in top bracket and insert clevis pin. If wall installation is not feasible, an optional floor stand is available. [. . . ] Rear Channel Installation Typical rear channel installation Page 7 of 9 More precise rear imaging can be achieved by increasing the angle and receiving more direct radiation from the speaker. However, our experience is that a direct radiating surround speaker can be too precise in rear imaging, and the listener becomes aware of the sound coming from a speaker which ruins the holographic effect of surround sound. Ideally, the MC1 should be positioned about 20 inches from the floor, but may be installed as high as the ceiling as shown below. [. . . ]
