Safety Instructions For Fixing Your Radius Loudspeakers to a Wall

WARNING: For safety reasons do not attempt to ﬁx these speakers to your wall if you are unsure of

your ability to provide a secure and safe ﬁxing. You will need to determine where to ﬁt the bracket and the

structure of the wall. If unsure, please obtain the services of a competent qualiﬁed trades-person.

WARNING: Ensure that there are no water pipes, or electricity cables running behind where the wall

bracket is going to be secured. Work from secure steps and avoid trailing wires.

Re-cycling

Correct Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) by User in Private Households in the EU.

This symbol on the product or accessories indicates that they must not be disposed of with your

household wastes throughout the EU. To prevent possible harm to the environment or human

health from uncontrolled waste disposal, recycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of

material resources. Instead it is your responsibility to dispose of your waste equipment by handing

it over to a designated WEEE collection point for recycling. The separate collection and recycling

of your waste equipment will help conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a

manner that protects human health and the environment.

For more speciﬁc information about where you can take your equipment for recycling please contact your local city/

council ofﬁce, your local waste disposal service or the outlet where you purchased your RadiusHD product.

RadiusHD

Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of the RadiusHD loudspeakers. We are conﬁdent they will provide

years of enjoyment and pleasure as only high quality components have been used throughout.

Building on the overwhelming success of the original Radius Series, RadiusHD brings redesigned cabinet proﬁles,

enhanced cabinet structure, improved aesthetics and improved sonic balance and response.

The R270HD has received major performance enhancements in every area. We have increased the cabinet volume,

added an additional rear ﬁring port and also added ballast in the bottom of the cabinet. All of these new features

combined to offer improved, tighter, punchier bass response and extra cabinet stability.

The R45HD and R90HD come supplied with a wall ﬁxing bracket. This enable upto 18 degrees of movement in all

directions.

We have also introduced a new product to the RadiusHD Series, the R oneHD. The R oneHD is a left, centre, right in

one cabinet. Each channel is enhanced with it’s own braced compartment and individually speciﬁed crossovers.

Designed to ﬁt below/ above your TV where the centre channel would normally sit, additional left and right speakers

are not needed as the R oneHD houses all three in one.

Please follow this user manual carefully as it contains important information about positioning and set up procedures.

For further advanced information on system set-up, FAQ’s and multi-lingual support please refer to our web site at:

www.monitoraudio.co.uk

The R45HD has a thermal protection device in it. This is help to protect the drive unit and tweeter from

permanent damage. If the speaker stops working after a long period of play, turn off the source for about

10 minutes, and then try it again.

Setting up and Positioning

Although position and suitability will have been considered prior to purchasing your RadiusHD, this section will guide

you through the optimum positioning and setting up of your loudspeakers. An illustration is provided on page 6 to

assist you in ensuring your speakers are placed in the optimum positions. For instructions on ﬁtting your RadiusHD

speakers to a wall, please go to pages 7,8 & 9. Self adhesive rubber feet are provided to prevent movement due to

vibration when using the RadiusHD on a table/ equipment stand.

Positioning - Front Speakers

With the centre channel the tweeter is best pointed towards the listener’s ears to help direct the sound and should

be the ﬁrst speaker you place in your home theatre room. The centre channel’s job is to anchor dialogue and other

on-screen sounds to the screen. Typically, As much as 60% of a movie soundtrack comes through the centre

channel .

The centre channel can be placed either above or below your TV screen, and as close as possible. If positioned in a

cabinet or sitting on top of the TV ensure that the front edge is aligned with the front edge of the TV or shelf. Where

possible, the height of the centre channel’s tweeter should be close to the height of your front speakers’ tweeter —

ideally, within about 600mm.

When placing your RadiusHD loudspeakers on the wall, around a plasma/ LCD TV, the left and right speakers need to

be between 22 & 30° to the left and right of the seating position, with the tweeters at approximate ear level.

Positioning - Surround Speakers

Ideally, your primary pair of surround speakers should be placed to the left and right of your listening position —

either in line with it, or just behind it (90 - 110°). If you have a 6.1 channel or 7.1 channel system with more than two

surround speakers, or if side placement isn’t available in a 5.1 channel system, consider placement behind your

listening position, facing the front of the room (135 - 150°).

Surround speakers should be placed high enough so that the drivers do not ﬁre directly at your ears when you’re

sitting down — one rule of thumb is to place them at ear level while standing. If your surround speakers ﬁre directly

at your ears, they can overpower your front speakers.

If your surrounds are mounted on the side walls on adjustable brackets (R45HD & R90HD), experiment with aiming

them. You may get good results from pointing them at the ceiling or toward the rear corners of the room.

Surround speaker placement which is ideal for home theatre may not necessarily be perfect for multichannel music

listening, where a precisely focused rear soundstage is best. If both types of listening are important to you, then you

can position your surround speakers for a compromise between the two.

Fixing to the Wall

The R45HD comes with a bracket to mount it on the wall. It is ﬁxed using the 2 button head screws on the back of

the cabinet either side of the terminals.

WARNING: Ensure that there are no water pipes, or electricity cables running behind where the wall bracket

is going to be secured. Work from secure steps and avoid trailing wires.

WARNING: Do not connect your speaker cable to the ampliﬁer before connecting it to the speaker.

When you unpack the Radius Wall Bracket you will notice that it is packed in two parts. Please do not put these two

pieces together before ﬁxing to the wall.

Remove the backing from the ‘low tack’ adhesive on the back of the template. Offer the bracket template up to1.

the wall, so that the ﬁxing holes run vertically, ensuring that it is true. If you are happy, press it against the wall

to hold it in place. Mark the centres of the two wall ﬁxing holes with a bradawl, piercing through the template

(examples can be seen in Fig.2 and Fig. 3). If your loudspeaker cable has been/going to be run through the

wall remember to take this into consideration when ﬁxing the bracket to the wall. Please see the template for

reference dimensions.

For ﬁxing to plasterboard (sheet-rock) or a solid wall use a suitable 6.5mm (1/4”) drill bit. Drill the two positions2.

deep enough to accept the wall plugs provided, this should be 30mm (1 1/8”). Insert the wall plugs into the

wall. If your cable has been run through the wall, feed it through the hole in your wall bracket and then screw

the bracket to the wall using the 25mm (1”) screws provided. There are two small markers on the wall bracket

to ensure vertical/horizontal alignment.

For ﬁxing to a wooden wall/structure, use a 2mm drill bit to drill 2 pilot holes and use 25mm screws to secure3.

the bracket.

Fully unscrew the 2 wall bracket mounting screws in the back of the speaker cabinet using the ‘hex’ key provide4.

(Fig. 4). Using the two screws that have just been removed, attach the forked part of the wall bracket to the back

of the speaker (Fig. 5). This should be tightened securely.

Connect the speaker cables as in Fig. 6. Alternatively, you can use bare wire. Place the female ball part of the5.

bracket over the male part, ensuring the slot in the female part lines up with the hole in the male part.
