THE F400 CONTENTS  
Each F400 package contains the following:  
• One (1) F400 speaker for left, center, or right placement  
• Mounting bracket hardware for vertical or horizontal wall mounting  
• Installation Guide and Owner’s Manual  
• Mounting Template  
INSTALLATION QUICK START  
The following is the recommended installation procedure:  
1. Run the speaker cables (not included), preferably 14-gauge (or larger) high-quality unshielded stranded wire. Use bare wires on the speaker  
end, or terminate the cables with spades (banana plugs may protrude too far from the back of the speaker).  
2. Attach the speaker wires to the F400 input connectors (refer to Rear Panel section).  
3. Mount the F400 speakers (refer to Placement and Mounting Procedure sections).  
PLACEMENT  
Mount one each of the F400 On-Wall Cinema Speakers vertically on the left and right sides of a flat-panel display for stereo operation. One  
F400 may be mounted horizontally above or below the display as a center channel for LCR (left-center-right) cinema performance.  
NOTE: The F400 speaker drivers are not magnetically shielded, therefore close proximity to a CRT display will cause interference.  
Left/Right Placement.  
It is recommended that vertically mounted speakers be centered with the left/right sides of the display. Alternately, alignment with the bot-  
tom of the display may be desirable when the display is placed significantly above listening level. See DIAGRAM 1.

Connect the speaker wires to the respective output of the audio amplifier (left output to left speaker, etc.). Connect the opposite end of the  
speaker wires to the rear panel Speaker Terminals, matching the polarity of the amplifier output to the speaker input, + to + (red) and – to  
– (black). DIAGRAM 4 shows the F400 rear panel connector panel.

CONTOUR SWITCH SETTINGS  
The F400 front panel Contour Switches provide subtle frequency adjustment control, allowing a boost or cut of the treble and bass response  
by 3dB. Determine through listening or test procedures if the F400 speakers require this adjustment.  
To adjust the Contour Switches:  
1. Carefully remove the F400 grill cover.  
2. Using the Contour Switches shown in DIAGRAM 5, make the following adjustments for the desired result.  
• Add bass: Move the bass switch to the +3 position.  
• Lower bass: Move the bass switch to the -3 position.  
• Add treble: Move the treble switch to the +3 position.  
• Lower treble: Move the treble switch to the -3 position.

PIVOTING TWEETER ADJUSTMENT  
The pivoting tweeters can be pointed toward the listening position for optimal directivity. If you have mounted the F400 Speakers off-axis  
from the listener’s ear level, you may gently move the tweeter position to compensate for the loss of directivity. Follow the instructions in  
DIAGRAM 6, below.
