[. . . ] The most common difference is the desire or need to mount the speakers above ear level on a wall or under an overhang. To achieve the best performance from your KAW 1. 1s, place both speakers on the same wall facing the listening area. Space them six to 15 feet apart with the tweeters as close to ear level as possible. For a higher quality stereo image, angle, or toe in, the speakers toward the primary listening area. This is especially important in installations that place the speakers well above ear level. Some additional bass will result if you place the speakers in a corner or near a wall: This provides greater bass coupling due to the additional reflected energy from the walls. Wall Mounting Included with your KAW 1. 1 speakers are OmniMount® mounting brackets that provide tremendous placement flexibility. Weather-resistant to ensure years of reliable service, these brackets are the recommended method of mounting and supporting your speakers. The end of the bracket arm screws into the threaded insert in the rear panel of the speaker. The bracket's clamp and ball assembly can be swiveled and locked into place to accommodate wall or ceiling (eave) mounting. After determining the desired location and orientation of your KAW 1. 1s, remove the bracket from the loudspeaker and use it as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes. Use #10-12, 21/2-3" long pan head screws to attach the bracket into a wall stud. Be sure to leave enough clearance between the end of the bracket and any adjacent wall or ceiling for installation of the knobs. If a wall stud is not available, use the appropriate type of drywall or masonry anchor to support the weight of the speaker, allowing for a generous safety margin. Please consult your dealer, custom installer or building contractor in these situations. Use of the Port Plug A vinyl port plug is included for installations that may expose the KAW 1. 1 to extremely wet weather conditions. The internal components are water-resistant, however, it is best to avoid having standing water inside the cabinet whenever possible. To insert the plug, gently pry off the metal grille taking care not to bend it or chip the paint. Insert the closed end of the plug into the port until the fit is snug. [. . . ] Also before painting, mask the speaker wire binding posts on the rear of the cabinet to preserve their color coding and conductivity. Make sure that the black and red knobs are screwed down to cover the threaded metal shafts and wrap them securely in masking tape. For best results, use several light coats of paint instead of one heavy coat. [. . . ]
