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 system.
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 cut out 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 position ±3dB treble & or bass contour
switch can be used to tailor high frequencies according to speaker placement
or the listeners 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
towards the listening area if needed. In order to do this, carefully press on
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.
