Features
· The flat-panel speaker system allows sound to radiate
from the whole of the front and rear surface of the
speaker. This produces a uniform sound across the
whole listening area.
· The speaker can be used with a third-party speaker
stand in a variety of configurations - vertically,
horizontally and so on.
· The speaker is magnetically shielded.
The S-FL1 speaker is a flat-panel type unit that uses NXT®
speaker technology. This slim style speaker allows for easy
installation anywhere.

Supplied accessories
There are no supplied accessories with this speaker.
Caution
About installation
· This equipment should only be installed by a suitably
experienced and qualified person. Please have
installation and setting up carried out by factory or
sales staff.
· Pioneer is in no way responsible for accidents, injury
or damage caused by incorrect installation/setting
up, misuse, modification or natural disasters.
· Before wall- or ceiling-mounting this speaker, please
make sure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough to
support the speaker's weight (9.9 kg). If you are in
doubt, please consult a specialist. Serious injury
could result if the speaker were to fall.
· Please do not attempt to detach the grille; the
diaphragm may be damaged as a result.
· This speaker's nominal impedance is 8 ohms. Please
use a power amplifier rated between 4 and 16 ohms.
· If you are using a stand, metal fittings, etc. with the
speaker, please make sure that they are of sufficient
strength to carry the load.
· Do not install the speaker near a heater or in direct
sunlight.
Before you install
· The sound of the speaker may be subtlely affected by
the listening room conditions. Please take this into
account when installing the speaker in order to get
the best performance from it.
· The speaker weighs 9.9 kg. Please make sure that you
choose a stable surface that is far enough from rear
and side walls (see the diagram below). Adjust the
position so that the left and right walls do not
adversely affect the sound.
· The minimum distances in the above diagram are
just a guide; the acoustic properties of the wall will
affect the best placement.
· In general, the more acoustically absorbant the wall,
the less bass frequencies will be affected, even when
the speaker is placed close to a wall.
· Two M8 diameter screw holes for mounting the
speaker can be found on the top, bottom and both
sides of the speaker. There are also four M6 diameter
screw holes on the rear panel; please remove the
caps before use.

Installation
No stand or other fittings for mounting the speaker are
supplied. Please use appropriate fittings, screws, etc. in
order to install the speaker properly.
You will need a cross-head screwdriver or hexagonal
wrench for installation.
Note
· Please use screws suitable for the wall material and
strength. The following is a guide to the length of
screws you should use for the speaker and fittings:
· Do not overtighten the screws as this can cause
damage.
· To reduce the risk of the speaker falling or toppling
over should there be an accident, please reinforce
the mounting fittings for added safety.

You can also use the screw holes on the rear of
the speaker for installation. Remove the caps to use.
You'll need a 5 mm hexagonal wrench for the screws that

Please keep the caps in a safe place in case you need to
use them again.
Connecting to your amplifier
Caution
· Be careful not to short the two pins (1+ and 1) of the
free speaker terminal. Doing so could damage the
speaker and/or your amplifier.
· Switch off the amplifier before connecting any
speakers.
There are two connection terminals on the rear side of
the speaker. To connect the speaker to your amplifier you
will need a suitable speaker cord terminated in a Neutrik
Speakon® speaker connector [NL4MP]. Only the 1+ and
1 pins should be connected. These connect to the
positive (+) and negative () speaker terminals
respectively on the amplifier.
Neutrik [NL4FX] and [NL4FC] Speakon speaker cord can
be used for the connection. Please refer to Neutrik for
more information.
1
Use a suitable speaker cord (not supplied) to
connect the speaker terminal on your amplifier to
one of the input terminals on the rear of the
speaker.
The speaker's terminals are exactly the same; use
whichever is convenient.
· See the manual that came with your amplifier for
more details.

the speaker short distances.
Connecting another speaker
On the rear of the speaker are two terminals; you can use
these to connect another speaker of the same type to this
speaker.
· The number of speakers you may connect will vary
according to the impedance rating of the amplifier.
See the manual that came with your amplifier for
more details.
