secured and the wires attached, the speaker may be attached to the clamp

PHASE TECHNOLOGY Solaris speaker
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Phase Technology speaker
system. With minimal care, your new system will provide years of
enjoyment. Please take a few minutes to read this manual, which will
explain proper placement and connection.
Caring for your speakers – Outdoor use.
Your Solaris speakers are engineered for both indoor and outdoor use and
operations. Random water hitting the speaker will not damage your Solaris
speakers making it ideally suited for placement in close proximity to
swimming pools and spas. The Solaris speaker is not intended for use
underwater.
The Solaris speaker is designed for indoor and outdoor playback of music
and home theater sources. Each speaker includes a convenient C-clamp and
pre threaded inserts for use with most standard swivel mounts. And with UV-
resistant, paintable, composite enclosures and aluminum grilles, Solaris will
look as good as it sounds through years of outdoor exposure.
Connections
Ordinary dust and dirt accumulation will not harm the Solaris speaker. If
you wish to clean the Solaris speaker, household glass cleaning solution
sprayed on a paper towel may be used for light cleanup. For heavier stains, a
soap and water solution applied with a rag or sponge should remove the dirt
and stains. Avoid spraying the Solaris speaker with a high-pressure hose.
Before making any connection, make sure your amplifier or receiver’s power
is turned off. Each speaker has a red (+) terminal and a black (-) ground
terminal, which will match the speaker output terminals on your amplifier or
receiver. Correctly connecting red to red and black to black from your
amplifier to your speaker will insure correct phase connection. We
recommend 16 gauge or heavier wire for the best performance from your
speakers. Choose speaker wire that defines each conductor with color-
coding or texture on at least one of the two wire leads to assure proper phase
connection.
Subwoofer Connections
You may choose to use a subwoofer with your Solaris speaker to enhance the
bass response of your music system. There are two ways to connect the
Solaris speaker with a powered subwoofer. The first uses the sub-out
connection. This type of output utilizes RCA connectors. NOTE: Most
processors and receivers have a single (mono) Sub-out. Connect the
Subwoofer output from your receiver or processor to either the left
input or the right input on your subwoofer amplifier. Then follow the
section titled Connections to hook up your Solaris speakers.
Wall Mounting
The C-clamp assembly is pre-drilled for fastening to a shelf, wall or ceiling.
Before mounting the Solaris speaker to a wall or ceiling, it is important to
consider the surface material the speaker will be mounted on. If you intend
to mount the speaker to wood, traditional 1" long wood screws will secure
the speaker properly. Mounting to stucco, plaster, concrete or drywall will
require additional measures to properly secure the speaker to one of these
surfaces. Consult your Phase Technology dealer for assistance.
The second option, High Level (speaker level), connects the subwoofer
utilizing the speaker output terminals of the amplifier or receiver. For this
hook-up method you will need two sets of speaker wires coming out of the
left and right outputs on your amplifier or receiver. One set goes to the
subwoofer and the other to the right and left input on your Solaris speakers.
You will find it much easier to mount the speaker if you first remove the
speaker from the C-clamp. With the speaker removed from the C-Clamp, use
the C-clamp as a template to locate the desired speaker placement. Hold the
C-clamp at the location the speaker is to be mounted, then mark the
mounting holes with a pencil. Secure the clamp to the mounting surface with
the appropriate screws.
Service Issues and Warranty
Phase Technology has an uncompromising commitment to quality assurance.
In the unlikely event that a problem occurs with your Solaris speaker, please
contact your Phase Technology dealer. Your new Solaris speaker comes
with a warranty to protect you, the original purchaser, against defects in
material and workmanship. Please refer to the warranty card included with
this manual.
NOTE: For a ceiling or wall mounting, it is recommended to center the
base on a stud or wood frame member within your structure whenever
possible. Before you place the speaker on the clamp, connect the speaker
wire to the terminals on the back of the speaker. Once the clamp is properly
