VS 224 Wall-Mounting
The VS 224 wall-mount bracket attaches to the wall directly for positioning
the speaker flat on the wall. The angled mounting plate is used for angled
positioning of the speaker on the wall. The angled mounting plate is
attached to the wall and then the wall-mount bracket attaches to the
angled mounting plate. Make sure that the speaker is oriented in the proper
direction before you start. The Port should be at the top of the speaker when
installing. When attaching the wall-mount bracket to the wall or the angled
mounting plate note that the large holes need to be located on top in both
vertical and horizontal applications. When attaching the speaker you will
notice that it will shift slightly to the left when securely locked into the wall-
mount bracket.

Speaker Connections

Before you connect the speakers turn off all the system components. The VS Speakers feature
gold-plated 5-way binding posts. They can accept bare wires, pin lugs, spade lugs, banana plugs
or dual banana plugs.
The illustration shows the bare wire speaker connection method. Remove about 3/8" (10mm)
of the wire insulation. Twist the strands of the wire into a neat bundle. Unscrew the hexagonal top
of the terminal. Insert the wire into the hole in the terminal center post and turn the hexagonal top
to clamp the wire in place.
If you are using pin lugs or spade lugs, attach them to the wires as specified by the manufacturer.
Unscrew the hexagonal top of the terminal. Pin lugs are inserted into the hole in the terminal center
post just like bare wire. Spade lugs fit around the terminal center post. Once the lug is in the terminal
turn the hexagonal top to clamp it in place
If you are using single or dual banana plugs attached them to the wire as specified by the
manufacturer. Do not unscrew the hexagonal top of the terminal. Simply insert the banana plugs
into the holes in the back of the terminals.
For information on connecting the speaker wires to your receiver or amplifier, refer to its owner's manual.
Important!
To ensure the best performance observe polarities when making speaker connections. The terminals have color coded rings—red for
+ and black for –. Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker.
Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way. If the connections are not made correctly it can cause poor bass response and
imaging. Also, to avoid short circuits that may damage your equipment, be careful not to let any of the bare wires touch each other.
Bi-wiring
The VS 325C, VS 344, and VS 336 have dual input terminals that allow for bi-wiring.
When a speaker is bi-wired two speaker wires are connected to the amplifier speaker
terminals. The two wires are connected to the dual terminals. This improves the
performance of the systems because it doubles the conductivity of the amplifier-to-
speaker connection.
