CHOOSING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION FOR YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS

The in-ceiling loudspeakers are designed to be installed in any standard ceiling. If you are unsure of the mount­ing location or correct installation techniques or type of speaker wiring to use, consult a professional audio spe­cialist or a building contractor for assistance. The goal is to get the best stereo effect possible from the loudspeakers. To achieve this we recommend placing both loudspeakers at equal distance from the listener and 6-10 ft apart from each other. Avoid installing them near corners or reflective surfaces to prevent a”boomy” or diffracted sound. When determining the location for the loudspeaker cutout, keep in mind that mounting arms will extend 314 inches beyond cutout. Make sure that you do not place the edge of the cutout directly next to a ceiling joist. Locate the joists using a stud sensor or by hand knocking.

Important! Before you cut into any wall, inspect the location of where the speakers are to be installed, and be very careful not to drill through existing wires, pipes, or structures. If you feel any extra resistance as you are drilling, please stop.

INSTALLATION

When running loudspeaker wires inside walls or ceilings, use special jacketed cables to protect the wire and for fire prevention.

1. Once you have determined the mounting installation location for the speakers, drill the cutout hole for the speakers.
2. At each speaker location, route the wire to the input connectors, then separate the loudspeaker wire so that at least 2 inches of each conductor are free. Strip away 114 inches of insulation from each individual loudspeaker wire.
3. Press down each spring-loaded connector one at a time, insert the appropriate conductor, and then release the connector. Check to be sure that the conductor is making contact with the stripped wire and not the wire jacket. Gently tug on the loudspeaker wire to make sure it is held in place. if not, repeat this procedure. Observe correct polarity: Positive(+) goes to the red post and negative(-) goes to the black post.
4. Insert the loudspeaker into the hole by carefully holding it with both hands and angling it slowly into the hole until the frame is flush with the ceiling. Holding it in place carefully with one hand,(do not push against the woofer or tweeter) use a cordless drill to begin mounting the loudspeaker.
5. Tighten the four screws. Use low torque and low speed or you may damage the loudspeaker. This should pull the frame and mount together (sandwiching the drywall) so that the frame is absolutely flush with the wall surface. There should be no gaps between the wall and the frame. Do not over-tighten the screws! Over-tightening them may make the grille difficult to install
6. Install the grille by simply pushing the grille evenly into the hole until it snaps in place.
7. Connect the other end of each loudspeaker wire to the receiver ( or amplifier) carefully observing polarity.
8. Turn on the receiver or amplifier and test all loudspeakers in the system.
