PSB imagine XA Owner's Manual - page 6
6
In all three system configurations, one pair of Imagine XA speakers is located at
the front of the room, very nearby or on top of the front Left and Right speakers.
For optimal effect and to minimize the distracting effect of audio radiating
directly at the listening position, the Imagine XA should be no lower than the ear
height of a seated listener. Also, avoid placing the speaker higher than one-half
the height of your wall.
The Imagine is sized and styled to fit perfectly on top of PSB Speakers Imagine
XT2, XT and XB speaker as shown. Before placing the Imagine XA on top of a
Imagine X speaker apply the supplied single- or double-sided adhesive-backed
bumpers to the bottom of the Imagine XA. This will add stability to the speaker,
and protect the finish of both the Imagine XA and any speaker it sits atop of.
The Imagine XA can also be used with any high quality Left/Right speaker, from
PSB Speakers or any other quality speaker brand.
If the space or room/furniture layout restricts you from placing the front Imagine
XA speakers directly atop the front L/R speakers, then you can place or wall
mount the Imagine XA as follows:
Laterally: within 2-3 feet max of the associated L/R speaker
Vertically: at least as high, but no more than 18” higher than the associated L/R
speaker
WALL MOUNTING YOUR DOLBY ATMOS SPEAKER
The PSB Imagine XA is supplied with a custom wall-mounting bracket and template for ease
of installation.
Wall mounting the Imagine XA may require specialized 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.
For successful on-wall mounting, the following tools will be required: tape measure, pencil,
level, screws, anchors, screwdrivers, power drill, and drill bits.
Prior to mounting, it is highly recommended to determine the best location for each Imagine
XA speaker in relation to your listening position. Please visit the Dolby website at www.dolby.
com/us/en/technologies/dolby-atmos.html for more information on on-wall positioning.
Ensure the selected locations for wall mounting do not conceal electrical wiring, and the
speaker clears surrounding physical structures, electrical fixtures and wiring.
Use the supplied wall-mounting template and mark the location of the pilot holes. Pre-drill
each hole for the mounting screws (not included) using the correct mounting hardware for
the specific wall surface.
If there is no stud behind the chosen location, use wall anchors (not included) to secure the bracket screws, following the wall anchor manufacturer’s
directions.
Important: It is recommended that you have at least two (2) mounting points attached into a stud for increased strength. Use the
appropriate hardware depending on the building material.
Position the Imagine XA inline with the wall-mounting bracket with bracket on the rear of the speaker and let the speaker slide straight down, allowing
the speaker to slide-and-lock into the slot for a secure mount.
