Speaker Placement Guide
For optimal performance, consider the following placement guidelines for your TSLCR5 center channel speaker:
- Canal central: Position the TSLCR5 directly above or below the center of your television or projection screen, at ear level when seated, if possible. This ensures clear dialogue and sound localization.

Once you have selected the ideal location, use a stud finder to ensure there are no obstructions within the wall. Mark the exact center of your desired speaker placement.
- Trace the Cut-Out:
Place the provided cut-out template on the wall at the marked center. Use a pencil to carefully trace around the inside edge of the template. Ensure the template is level before tracing.

Using a drywall saw or rotary tool, carefully cut along the traced line. Take caution to make a clean cut. Once the hole is cut, remove any debris.

Run high-quality speaker wire (16-gauge or thicker recommended for runs under 50 feet) from your amplifier/receiver to the cut-out opening. Leave enough slack to comfortably connect to the speaker terminals.

Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the speaker wires. Connect the positive (+) wire (usually red or marked) from your amplifier to the red (+) terminal on the speaker. Connect the negative (-) wire (usually black or unmarked) from your amplifier to the black (-) terminal on the speaker. Ensure a secure connection by pressing down the spring-loaded terminals and inserting the bare wire.
