Product Usage Instructions
Preparation
- Gather the following tools for installation: pencil, drill, tape measure, wire cutter, safety eyewear, Phillips screwdriver, gloves, utility knife, and sandpaper.
- Refer to the Speaker Wire Guide to determine the appropriate gauge of speaker wire based on the distance between the speakers.
- Consider the best placement for the speakers, ensuring they are separated 6-10 feet apart.
Installation
- Cut a hole in your wall or ceiling based on the provided cutout dimensions.
- Mount the speaker using the quick-turn mounting system. Tighten the mounting brackets by turning the screws clockwise until fully tightened to the locked position.
Connection
- Ensure that the power is off before connecting the speakers to the amplifier or receiver.
- Locate the connection terminals on the back of your receiver or amplifier.
- Connect the audio out from the back of your receiver or amplifier to the speakers following the polarity indicated in Diagram 4.
- Note: Check your owner’s manual for impedance and wattage compatibility, as not all amplifiers/receivers can safely play more than one pair of speakers at once.
Adjustment:
- To adjust the pivoting tweeter, press on the designated area indicated in Diagram 6.

Placement
There are many options for proper speaker placement depending upon speaker type and application. It’s important to carefully plan the placement of your speakers, as installation requires that you cut a hole in your wall or ceiling.
(See Diagram 1.) Typical speaker placement for a 5.1 and 7.1 speaker systems.
Installation
Cut Out
NOTE: This is the most important part of the entire installation.
If you are not certain whether any obstructions exist behind the desired
mounting area, you should start by cutting a small hole in the center of your
penciled mounting hole with a drywall saw.
Using the Cut Out dimensions measure and trace a template on the wall in the
desired location. Cut along the traced line using a drywall saw or rotary
drill. Use a piece of sandpaper to sand down the cutout edge for a smoother
contour. (See Diagram 2.)
Mounting
- Tighten the mounting brackets by simply turning the screws on the front of the speaker baffle slowly clockwise. The quick-turn mounting system and frame will “sandwich” or clamp around the dry-wall to hold the speaker securely in place once fully tightened to the locked position. (See Diagram 3.)
Connection
- When connecting any speakers to the amplifier or receiver, always make sure the power is off. Locate the connection terminals on the back of your receiver or amplifier. Always make sure to connect audio out from the back of your receiver or amplifier to the speakers. (See Diagram 4.)
- NOTE: Not all Amplifier/Receivers can safely play more than one pair of speakers at once. Please refer to your owner’s manual for impedance and wattage compatibility
Adjustment
- On select models, a front-mounted 3 positions ±3dB treble & or bass contour switch can be used to tailor high frequencies according to speaker placement or the listener’s preference. (See Diagram 5.)
Pivoting Tweeter
- Your Black series speaker comes from the factory with the tweeter centered in the neutral position. This will provide the smoothest response. However, select models come with a pivoting tweeter so you can focus the sound directly toward the listening area if needed. In order to do this, carefully press the edge of the tweeter baffle in the direction you wish to focus the sound. (See Diagram 6.)
- CAUTION: When adjusting the pivoting tweeter be sure not to touch the dome as you may cause damage to the speaker.
