please call our service department at (785) 749-0133.

Box 1: “Backbox Installation Pack”

Install Board •Hardware Pack (12x Wood Screws •14x Sheet Rock Clips •14x Sheet Rock Screws)

Box 1 Box 2

These speakers are designed with easy-to-use push-style

binding posts that accept bare wire (fig. 1).

Assign the same color to the (+) and (–) terminals on both the

speaker and the amplifier. Make sure that all connections are

tight.

For convenience during the installation process, Statement

40XW has binding posts on both the top and bottom of the

enclosure. CONNECT TO ONLY 1 SET OF BINDING POSTS.

ConneCtion

• Use an amp that approximately matches the speaker’s

specified power handling.

• To avoid damage, turn down the volume of the

speaker is distorting, sounds harsh, or the bass begins

to break up.

• Tone controls and equalizers may increase the

likelihood of distortion, especially at high volumes. Use

these setting sparingly.

When you first begin to play your speakers, they may sound

a bit bass shy, due to the high quality, long-life components

used in the drivers. Allow approximately 72 hours of break-in at

90 dB (moderate listening levels) before any critical listening.

Break-in

ProteCt Your investment

Achieving Superior Imaging

For best performance and imaging, place the speakers

equidistant to the primary listening position. It is

recommended that the primary listening position be 1x -2x

the distance between the speakers for optimal imaging. For

example, if your speakers are 10 feet apart, then the optimal

listening distance is between 10 and 20 feet away. Guidance

for speaker height can be found on page 6 in the “Pre-

Installation Checklist” section.

Balancing Hard vs. Soft Surfaces Improves High- and

Mid-Frequency Performance

Rooms that are “overdamped” with carpeting, drapes, and

other sound absorbers can cause your system to be dull

and lifeless. On the other hand, rooms can have so many

hard surfaces that the system sounds like a gymnasium.

Experiment by adding or removing soft surfaces until you find

a mix that is right for you.

WARNING! Turn your amplifier off before

making or breaking any signal connections!

Painting the sPeaker grille

IMPORTANT!

The Statement 40XW grille is packaged with the

driver assembly (STATE40XW) and not in the same packaging

as the install kit. The speaker includes an extra scrim.

1. Remove the grille from the speaker. A protective cloth

scrim is attached to the back of the grille with a low-tack

adhesive. Remove this scrim by gently pulling it away

from the grille and discard it.

2. Paint the grille, being careful not to plug the holes.

Allow the paint to dry completely before proceeding.

IMPORTANT! For best results use a spray rather than a

brush or roller.

3. Gently press the new scrim into place before reinstalling

the speaker grille.

Pre-installation CheCklist

NOTE: These instructions assume the mounting surface is of

standard wood frame and conventional sheetrock construc-

tion. If you wish to mount the speakers to another type of

material, you should contact a bonded contractor.

NOTE: See your local dealer for new construction pre-

install brackets (sold separately).

WARNING! Before installing check local

building codes to verify compliance with local

regulations. WARNING! Before installing

check for obstructions behind drywall. To do

this make a small cut-out, cutting at a 45°

angle (this makes the hole easier to patch if

you find obstacles. Only cut out the mounting

hole after you have verified there are no

obstructions behind the drywall. WARNING!

Use speaker cable rated for in-wall use.

The UL standard is CL2, CL3, and CM. The

CSA standard is FT4. WARNING! Turn your

amplifier off before making or breaking any

signal connections.

1. Be sure the wall framing is plumb and the stud spacing

is correct. (16” Minimum - 18” Maximum on center

stud spacing)

2. Speaker wire should be ran to each of the designated

stud bays before beginning the install. The in wall

back box has binding posts on the top and bot-

tom for ease of connection only. Statement

40XW requires that only 1 connection be made.

3. Please ensure the chosen stud bays are clear of all

obstructions. If plumbing, electrical, or another obstruc-

tion is present that cannot be safely relocated, please

consult the back box dimensional drawing to verify

potential fitment interference

A simple and effective way to test for potential fitment

issues is to use one of the included back box mounting

brackets as a check gauge- placing it in the stud bay and

moving it over possible interferences. If anything makes

contact with the bracket, it will interfere with the back box

and must be relocated in order to use that stud bay.

4. The overall height of the Statement 40XW drivers is

around 53” tall. We recommend that the seated ear

level at the primary listening position(s) fall within the

middle 40” of the driver assembly. Essentially making

sure that ear level is around 6.5” or more above the

bottom of the lowest speaker driver. Please note, that

the height of the in-wall enclosure will be the ultimate

limiting factor on how high the speaker can be mounted

within the stud bay. The large height of the driver

assembly means that most typical seating heights will be

well within the “sweet spot” of the speaker.

Tools you’ll need before sheet rock work:

-Tape Measure

-Laser Level (recommended)

-Ladder

-Power drill/driver

-#2 Phillips driver bit

-#2 Phillips Hand Screwdriver

-Wire Strippers

Sheet rock installation/finishing:

-Mesh sheetrock tape

-45 minute sheetrock joint compound

-Lightweight sheetrock mud

-Medium Grit Sanding Sponge

-½” or 5/8” sheet rock (depends on installation

requirements)

-General sheetrock finishing equipment

PLEASE NOTE: INSTALLATION IS A 2 PERSON JOB.

STEP 1: CRUCIAL STEP! ATTACHING THE BOTTOM

BRACKET

1a Mark the desired bracket height from the floor on

the studs.

1b Ensure the bracket is level using the attached bubble

level. Once level, attach the bracket to the studs with

(4) included wood screws. Metal studs will require

different screws that are not included.

1c Apply (1) spacer to the top of the bracket as shown, by

peeling the backer off of the attached adhesive tape.

A simple and effective way to test for potential fitment

issues is to use one of the included back box mounting

brackets as a check gauge- placing it in the stud bay

and moving it over possible interferences. If anything

makes contact with the bracket, it will interfere with the

back box and must be relocated in order to use that

stud bay.

1d Repeat the steps above for any additional 40XW bottom

brackets, if installing multiples. Use a laser level to

ensure the speakers will be on the same plane once

installation is complete.

STEP 2: BACK BOX PREPARATION

2a Carefully remove the back box from its packaging.

Confirm the proper orientation of the back box using the

diagram on the positioning board:

LC UP = LEFT CHANNEL UP

RC UP = RIGHT CHANNEL UP

2b With the correct orientation pointing upwards, seat the

remaining bracket on the top of the back box by guid-

ing the locating pins on the back box into the holes in

the top bracket. Top bracket should be oriented as

depicted in the figure

STEP 3: BACK BOX INSTALLATION

3a With the correct orientation pointing upwards, lift the

back box and seat it into the holes in the bottom bracket

spacer using the locating pins for alignment.

3b Carefully push the back box into the stud bay. Please

ensure the top bracket can sit flush against the studs just

like the bottom bracket. A helper should now hold the

back box in place to complete the next step.

3c While the back box is being held in place, ensure the top

bracket is seated down firmly on the top of the back box.

Then secure the bracket to the studs with (4) supplied

wood screws. Metal studs will require different

screws that are not included.
