Connecting the Speakers
These speakers are passive and thus require an amplifier or receiver to give them power. They can be connected to any 4 or 8-ohm amplifier. If your speakers are relatively close to the signal source (50 feet or less), a 16 gauge wire can be used. For longer distances, 12 or 14-gauge wire is recommended. Be sure to observe proper polarity by ensuring that the wire from the positive speaker terminal is connected to the red or positive terminal of the signal source and that the wire from the negative speaker terminal is connected to the black or negative terminal of the signal source.

Description
The D4-70 is a dual 4” speaker that is perfect for restaurants, patios,
conference rooms, and much more. The dual speaker design disperses the sound
wider so you can evenly spread the sound in any room. The D4-70 has a built-in
70V transformer that can be tapped as low as 3.75 watts and as high as 30
watts! This wide range of wattage makes the speaker perfect for both
background music or your bar, patio, and other areas where you want a big
sound to get the party going.
Our 4-way swivel bracket allows you to angle the speaker up, down, left, and
right for optimal sound staging. The sounds these speakers produce are both
rich and full. They include large 9.75oz magnets and the tweeter is an
audiophile-grade silk soft dome tweeter. We also have a built-in 2nd order
2500Hz fixed crossover that protects the speaker and creates a great sound
curve for any room. The detachable euro-block terminals make installation
quick and easy. The terminals work with ordinary speaker wire and there is a
tap switch on the speaker so you can easily select how many watts you want the
speaker to get from the amp.

What are 70 volts?
70-volt systems are a good choice for applications where you want to install
many speakers. With 70 volts there are a lot of advantages over 8-ohm systems.
One of the main advantages is the simplicity of the wiring as well as how easy
it is to match up speakers with the amplifier. For example, you can buy one
70V amplifier with 350 watts and you can install speakers that total close to
300 watts. It does not matter if it is 15 speakers that are 20 watts each or
50 speakers that are tapped at 5 watts each. You always want your 70-volt amp
to have at least 15 or 20% more power than the combined watts your speakers
are tapped at. When we say the word tap, what we are referring to is the knob
on the rear of the speaker. For example, these speakers have selectable
options of 5w, 10w, 15w, and 30w. What this does is limit how many watts the
built-in transformer on the speaker will allow the speaker to get from the
amplifier. This gives you full customization over the sound for your space. In
a restaurant for example you can tap your dining room speakers at 10 watts,
the speakers by the bar area at 30 watts, and the ones in the hallway at 5
watts. Another great feature with 70 volts is you can mix and match any
70-volt speakers whether they are ceiling speakers, wall-mounted speakers,
subwoofers, etc.
70-volt systems allow you to run very long lines of speaker wire without
signal loss. This is ideal when running long speaker leads. The wiring is
simple. You just wire all the positive terminals of the speakers to the
positive 70-volt terminals of the amplifier. The negative terminals on the
speaker simply get wired to the negative terminals on the amp. You do not have
to worry about impedance. The power is constant.

FAQs
Where should wall mounted speakers be placed?
Keep in mind that walls also reflect sound. At least two to three feet should separate speakers from the closest wall (especially if your speaker is in a corner). Many speakers have bass ports that face the back. A rear bass port that is too close to a wall will reflect sound waves, blurring time.
Should I mount my speakers on the wall?
A center-channel speaker is sometimes a good candidate for a wall mount. If the center is to be housed in a cabinet, be sure to position it as near as you can to the edge of the cabinet. Any exposed shelf in front of the speaker will cause the sound to reflect off of it and bounce back, degrading the sound quality.
How high should in-wall speakers be mounted?
Although many in-wall speakers come with rotating tweeters that can help make up for installations high on the wall, you’ll get the greatest sound if you position the speakers at the same height as a freestanding speaker, which is roughly 2 feet above ear level.
How can I hang speakers on the wall without drilling holes?
Put the picture hook where you want your speakers to be on the wall. Place a marker exactly where the holes are. Incorporate two nails into the wall. Use the picture hooks to secure your speakers.
How high should bookshelf speakers be mounted?
Furthermore, using an average ear height of 91cm to 96.5cm (36-38″) is frequently just as suitable as measuring the distance from your ears to the floor if more than one person will be listening to the speakers or if you frequently have guests over.
How do in-wall speakers work?
In-wall speakers are tuned while they are installed in a wall. This is taken into consideration during the design of the enclosure and the drivers, ensuring that once you install them at home, the system sounds identical to one from a speaker located farther away from the listening area.
Do in-wall speakers need insulation?
To enhance sound quality, think about adding some R-13 insulation to the wall cavity beneath the speakers. Insulation is typically pre-cut for breadth; all that is required is for you to cut it to length and insert it into the gap behind the speakers.
Are on-wall speakers better than in-wall speakers?
You can produce realistic soundstage and stereo imaging by putting on-wall speakers at ear level, depending on critical listening and dispersion. These systems differ from in-ceiling speakers in that they add dimensionality in addition to the stereo effect.
How far should speakers be from the back wall?
The ideal distance from the back wall is therefore one to two feet, if possible and if you can live with the aesthetics. But give it a go. The only qualification I’ll make is that some speakers are made to be installed quite close to a back wall.
Can I use in-wall speakers in the ceiling?
In most cases, in-ceiling speakers may easily be mounted in a wall, and vice versa and they will sound the same.
What is a wall speaker?
Simply said, ceiling speakers are positioned down-firing from the ceiling above, whilst in- and on-wall speakers are mounted front-firing with the woofers pointing horizontally across the room.
Are in-wall or on-wall speakers better?
In-wall speakers are frequently more potent and of greater quality as a result than in-ceiling speakers. When in-wall speakers are installed in numerous walls of a room or other space, they can add more sound dimensions than just a downward-firing one.
How can I soundproof my wall speakers?
The use of two sheets of MDF or OSB with a coating of Green Glue damping compound sandwiched in between is advised by several home theatre specialists. Your speakers will be much more effectively soundproofed with a damped box.
How much space do in-wall speakers need?
If the speakers are too far apart, the music will play in some areas of the room too loudly and in others too softly. In larger rooms, use two speaker pairs for balanced sound. We advise keeping in-wall and ceiling speakers at least 18 to 24 inches away from one another.
Is it a good idea to wall mount speakers?
A person could desire to wall mount speakers for a variety of reasons. Smaller rooms can benefit from speaker wall mounting, which also shields speakers from curious kids and animals. Additionally, it’s a simple method for positioning smaller satellites at the ideal altitude for the best audio quality.
