INSTALLING…
On-Wall Mounting
I. All PSB On-Wall Speakers are supplied with a custom designed wall-mounting bracket for ease
of installation.
II. Wall mounting a speaker will require certain tools and materials, as well as a certain level of
expertise. For example, if wires are to be hidden within the walls of your home, we highly suggest
consulting a local CEDIA certified installer in your area. To find a CEDIA certified installer, please
visit www.cedia.net
III. For successful on-wall mounting, the following tools will be required: tape measure, pencil, level,
screws, anchors, screwdrivers, power drill, and drill bits.
I .V Prior to mounting, it is highly recommended to determine the best location for each on-wall
speaker in relation to your listening position. For proper on-wall positioning, please refer to the
“Positioning” section of this owner's guide.
V. Ensure the selected locations for wall-mounting do not conceal electrical wiring or plumbing.
Ensure the speaker clears surrounding physical structures and electrical fixtures and wiring.

wall material.
V .II If there is no stud behind the chosen location, use wall anchors (not included) to secure the
bracket screws, and follow the wall anchor manufacturer's directions.
Note: It is recommended that you have at least one mounting point
attached into a stud for better holding strength. Use appropriate
hardware depending on the building material.

CONNECTING…
Bi-wiring and Bi-amping
I. The Metal jumper strap that connects the two sets of terminals on some of our speakers is
removable. This allows you to connect either seperate cables to the seperated woofer and
tweeter terminals (”bi-wiring”) or seperate amplifiers (“bi-amping”). With Bi-Amp hookup you must
use either identical amplifiers or amplifiers adjusted to have the same voltage gain. Consult your
PSB dealer for further information. (Illustrations are for one speaker hookup only). With single
cable inputs, the jumper straps must be in place and both sets of terminals tightened firmly.
Bi-wire and Bi-amp Wiring Between Speakers and Amplifier
Note: The PSB PWM models perform best when complemented with a powered subwoofer.
PSB Speakers offers a number of suitable subwoofers to pair with your on-wall speakers.
To find these
subwoofers, please visit www.psbspeakers.com

PROTECTING YOUR INVESTEMENT
For long lasting enjoyment of your PSB speakers, you should respect their limits and avoid excessive
volume levels for music or movie playback. Excessive volume levels can damage all types of speakers.
If your speakers are pushed to excessive volume levels, they could be driven into “clipping”, which could
result in severe and/or permanent damage. If listening to your speakers at loud levels, listen carefully for
any signs of harsh, distorted midrange and diminishing precision – if detected, turn the volume down
immediately.
NEVER TEST PEAK LISTENING LEVELS OF YOUR SPEAKERS BY TURNING THE VOLUME
UP ALL THE WAY!
I. The PWM speakers come with an optional magnetic grille, which will snap into place when
positioned correctly. The use of the grille is a matter of personal preference and does not effect
the performance of the speakers either way.

CARING AND CLEANING…
For safe use, it is essential to maintain and clean your speakers periodically. However, excessive
cleaning may cause damage and jeopardize the longevity of the product. When not in use, avoid storing
in extreme hot or cold temperatures and humidity, and avoid exposure to liquids.
I. Cabinet Care
PSB cabinets have varying materials and finishes, including wood veneers, vinyl, anodized aluminium
and high gloss, and should be treated with the same care you would with similar finishes such as on
furniture. Dust lightly with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive materials that will cause permanent damage to
the cabinet. If necessary, wipe carefully with a cloth slightly dampened with water-based cleaner to
remove heavy soil.
II. Drivers and Port Care
During light cleaning, avoid touching speaker diaphragms as it could cause permanent damage to the
tweeter and/or drivers. If deeper cleaning is required, we suggest using a lint brush to clean the driver
ports.
TROUBLESHOOTING…
Issue: Audible Distortion
I. If a speaker begins to sound distorted or fatigued, check to see whether playing at a lower
volume resolves this issue.
Issue: Low or No Volume Output
I. If there is low or no volume output, check that the audio source is powered “on”, and the audio is
set to a medium volume level and not muted.
II. If audio source is indeed powered “on”, check and ensure that the cable connections to the audio
source and speakers are secure and are “in-phase”. Also, connect a different cable to see if this
resolves the issue.
