FLAT PANEL
MULTI-CHANNEL SPEAKER
Thank you for your purchase of the Phase Technology Arte’ high definition flat panel, multi-channel
speaker system. Each pair of the Arte’ speakers create an LCR configuration. With Phase Technology’s 2
c
™
center channel design there is no need for a separate center channel speaker. The center channel sound field
is produced by combining the output from each Arte’ lower speaker array. This recreates the center channel
sound field from your amplifier and the content sounds like it is coming from the center of the TV screen.
The Arte’ flat panel, multi-channel speaker system is designed to fill a verity of applications and
incorporates a very flexible mounting system to facilitate your mounting requirements. The Arte’ speakers are
packaged with wall mount brackets for “on wall” applications when one will be placed on either side of a wall
mounted flat panel display. There are also 2 different sets of threaded inserts located on the rear of the cabinet
for applications were mounting the speakers to a display wall bracket mechanism is required, for use with the
Phase Technology table top speaker stands or for use with floor standing speaker stands (such as the Sanus
FF1s Speaker Stand with the Phasetech SMA1 mounting adapter). The 4, #10-32 screws provided with the
speakers can be used for mounting the Arte’ speakers to many flat panel display mounting brackets that have
provisions for speakers (Such as those available from Chief, Sanus and others).
WALL MOUNTING
When selecting the speaker mounting location, it is prudent to take a few extra minutes to carefully
inspect and measure the wall where you intend to mount the Arte’ speakers and your flat panel display.
An inspection of the room or rooms that back-up to the wall you have selected for mounting the Arte’
speakers, can often alert you to potential obstacles. For example, if the wall you want to mount to
happens to be the common wall for a bathroom or kitchen, there is a good chance you will encounter
water or sewer pipes in the wall that will not be detected by a stud-finder. An electronic stud-finder is a
useful tool to assist you in selecting the speaker placement, however be cautious as they often give
false readings. It is recommended that wherever possible you try to fasten these mounting brackets to
a vertical stud with the appropriate wood screws. If it is not possible to mount the brackets over the
studs then it is recommended that the appropriate hollow wall anchors or toggle bolts be used for the
weight of each speaker system. Be certain to use all 4 of the mounting holes on each bracket to assure
a safe and reliable installation.
Step 1
Determine that the desired mounting location is safe and clear of any physical obstructions that might
hinder the proper installation of the speakers. If the flat panel monitor is already installed on the wall
you can use it as a guide for the installation of the speakers. For the best appearance it is
recommended that the speakers be installed symmetrically on either side of the monitor. The spacing
from the monitor is not critical so you may use whatever is most appealing aesthetically but the
speakers’ response characteristics will be best if you stay within a few inches of the sides of the
display.
Special consideration must be taken to run two sets of speaker leads to each Arte’ speaker. One pair
will be connected to the left (or right) channel on your amplifier and the other pair will be used on each
Arte’ for the center channel. When you are ready to connect the speaker leads to your amplifier you
will have a set of leads for the left and right channel and TWO sets of leads for the center channel. This
connects the center channel drivers of each system in parallel.
