PREPARATION
The custom installation speakers of the SECRET range are designed to be installed in walls or ceilings. To do so, you will need to make an opening in the partitions where the speakers can be installed. The following table indicates the dimensions of the openings and the installation depth needed for the installation:
| ICT4| ICT5| ICT7/7+| EMT7| ICT8| IWT7| IWT8| LCR7
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Needed opening| Ø 6.69″| Ø 6.93″| Ø 8.11″| Ø 7.9″| Ø 9.64″| 10.67 x 6.61″|
13.3 x 8.5″| 14.48 x 7.48”
Minimum installation depth| 2.75″| 3.03″| 3.58″| 3.3″| 4.17″| 3.42″| 3.9″|
3.9”
Before drilling, you should make sure the locations chosen in the wall/ceiling
are free of obstructions such as pipes, ducts or wiring that will interfere
with the installation.
Using the supplied pattern, draw a line on the wall/ceiling, then cut the
shape using an appropriate tool.
In the event you wish to receive more informations about the installation of
your SECRET speakers, you should contact your TRIANGLE reseller.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The SECRET range speakers have been developed to guarantee a high quality
sound in most environments. In order to ensure the best possible listening
experience, it is advisable to follow certain recommendations depending on the
type of use wanted.
As a general rule, avoid placing the speakers too close to a corner or an
obstacle (e.g. a pillar, etc.), that could affect the acoustics by creating
unwanted reflections.
Stereo setup
For a stereo setup, the SECRET speakers should be located between 9 and 16 feet apart, on a symmetrical basis from the main listening position.
Home theater setup
To use the SECRET speakers in a home theatre setup, the front and center speakers must be located approximately 2 ft in front of the screen. The IWT in-wall speakers must be put on the sides, under the screen, or behind, if the screen is acoustically transparent. The rear speakers must be placed close to the main listening position.
CONNECTION
The speakers of the SECRET range are fairly easy to install. To ensure an
optimal installation, please follow these steps carefully.
First, ensure you route the cables through the wall/ceiling in order to
connect your SECRET speakers to the amplifier. Leave some spare cables to ease
connecting them to the terminals on the back of the speaker. The maximum cable
diameter accepted by the terminals is 4.5mm. Use high-quality cables: the
length of the cables needed for this type of installation is important. It is
therefore necessary to use cables that least influence the speaker’s signal
dynamics, type 2×2.5 mm 2 in OFC.
Strip the cable, and then connect it to the spring terminal. Ensure that the
speaker connexion polarity is correct: the cable of the positive terminal on
the amplifier must be connected to the red terminal, the cable of the negative
terminal must be connected to the black terminal.
INSTALLATION ICT – IWT – LCR
Once the speaker is connected, ensure that the tightening hooks are placed so they don’t stop the speaker from entering into its allocated slot. Insert the speaker into the partition in a manner so the edge is at the level with the wall/ceiling. Beware not to trap the cables during the installation.
Then, secure the tightening hooks to fasten the speaker with a cross-head
screwdriver.
Be careful not to damage the speaker membrane during handling. Do NOT use
electric screwdriver which could damage the clamping hooks if the torque is
incorrectly adjusted.
Finally, install the magnetic grill on the front of the speaker.
The speaker is ready for use. To remove the grill, use the dismounting tool
that is supplied.
For more discretion, the grill can be painted. Use the provided hook, remove
the white fabric and preferably use a spray paint for an optimal result.
Note that the bass and treble level of IWT & LCR can be adjusted according to your needs by using the available switches:0 / -3 dB for ITW models and 0 / -2 dB for LCR.
INSTALLATION EMT
Once the speaker is connected, ensure that the tightening hooks are placed so
they don’t stop
the speaker from entering into its allocated slot.
(A) Insert the speaker into the partition in a manner so the edge is at the
level with the wall/ ceiling. Beware not to trap the cables during the
installation.
(B) With one hand hold the outer rim of the in-ceiling mount, with the other
hand rotate clockwise the center part of the speaker using the three center
arms. This will lock the speaker onto your ceiling. (C).
(D) Then push button on the « lock » position
Finally, install the magnetic grill on the front of the speaker (E). The
speaker is ready for use.
The bass and treble level of EMT can be adjusted to your liking by using the
available switches. (F)
