IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
An exclamation mark in an equilateral triangle warns the user that the
manual contains important instructions on how to use and look after the
device.
- Read these instructions.
- Keep these instructions.
- Heed all warnings.
- Follow all the instructions.
- Do not use this device near water.
- Only clean with a dry cloth.
- Do not obstruct ventilation openings. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing the device.
- Do not install the device close to a heat source such as a radiator, cooker, heat vents or any other appliance (including amplifiers) that gives out heat.
- Only use accessories recommendedby the manufacturer.
- Only use trolleys, stands, tripods, mounts or tables recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the device. If using a trolley, take extra care when moving the trolley and device together, to prevent the device from falling off and causing injury .
- All maintenance tasks should be performed by a qualified professional. Maintenance is required in case of any kind of damage to the device (damaged cable or plug, spillages or objects inserted into the device, exposure to rain or humidity, if the device malfunctions or overturns, etc.).
- To avoid damaging your hearing, do not listen to loudspeakers at high volumes for long periods of time. Listening to loudspeakers at high volumes can cause damage to the user’s ears and may lead to hearing problems (temporary or permanent deafness, buzzing in the ears, tinnitus, hyperacusis). Exposure to excessive volumes (over 85 dB) for more than one hour can cause irreparable damage to your hearing .

Thank you for purchasing a Focal product. Welcome to our High-Fidelity world.
Innovation, tradition, excellence and pleasure are our values; our one and
only aim is to bring you a sound that is rich, pure and true. To get the most
out of your product, we recommend that you read the instructions in this
booklet, then store it in a safe place to refer to in the future.
Handling (fig. A)
We strongly advise having two people lift the products during unpacking and
installation onto the wall.
Grilles (fig. B)
The On Wall loudspeakers are supplied with grilles to protect the speaker
drivers. They are easy to fit or remove thanks to their magnetic attachment
system.
Our policy of continual product improvement means that Focal-JMlab reserves
the right to modify the technical specifications of its products without
notice. Product may vary from images.
Connections (fig. C & D)
The connectors for the On Wall loudspeakers ensure reliable and versatile
contacts for stripped cables. The cable diameter should not exceed 0 3/16 ”
(4mm).
It is imperative that you respect the polarity of the loudspeakers. The
connector marked ‘+’ must be connected to the positive output on the
amplifier, and the connector marked ‘-’ must be connected to the negative
terminal. Stereo image and bass perception will be seriously compromised if
these conditions are not respected. Choose good quality cables with a
crosssection appropriate for their length: your dealer will be able to advise
you.
Installing the loudspeakers (fig. E & F)
The On Wall loudspeakers must be centred in relation to your screen. The
tweeter (treble speaker driver) must be aligned with the middle of your screen
horizontally for the left and right loudspeakers, and vertically for the
central loudspeaker (fig. F).
For optimal sound effects, the loudspeakers must be placed as close as
possible to your loudspeaker. We recommend that you place your central
loudspeaker horizontally, below your screen. In the horizontal position, you
can turn the logo the right way up by rotating it. Position the logo
vertically by turning it (fig. E).
Fixing to the wall (fig. G, H & I)
-
Stick the feet onto the back of the loudspeaker in the spaces provided in the four corners (fig. G).
-
Use the template to position the holes in the wall correctly. The template shows you where to drill the holes, in the vertical or horizontal position (front/back). Before drilling, ensure that you hold the template at the correct level so that the loudspeaker is in the correct vertical or horizontal position. Screws and wall plugs are not supplied. Only use wall plugs suitable for the composition of your partition.
-
As with any wall or ceiling mounting, installing the loudspeakers can involve risks and the methods of drilling and mounting to walls, ceilings and other surface depend on the conditions and standards of construction, refurbishment, safety and cabling in force and applicable to the brackets involved. For this reason, the relevant drilling, mounting and installation operations must be performed by a qualified professional who is familiar with the installation and safety standards. Focal does not provide any end-of-use warranty for a given bracket or installation, as installing the loudspeakers is the customer’s sole responsibility.
Focal is therefore not liable in any capacity whatsoever in the event of unhooking, fall, accident and/or any other result or damage of any kind related to the installation of loudspeakers. -
Connect the cables to the loudspeaker, respecting the polarity (+/-), before hanging it on the wall.
-
Position the loudspeaker in front of the wall attachments. Attach the loudspeaker firmly to the brackets by applying pressure to the top of them (fig. H & I). Ensure that both brackets are well attached.
Running-in period
The speaker drivers used in the On Wall loudspeakers are complex mechanical
assemblies which need a break-in period to operate at their best and to become
acclimatised to the temperature and humidity of your environment. This break-
in period varies depending on the conditions in question and may take several
weeks. To reduce this time, we recommend operating your loudspeakers for about
twenty consecutive hours. Once the loudspeaker’s characteristics have totally
stabilised, you will be able to enjoy the full potential of your On Wall
loudspeakers.
Special precautions
To look after the On Wall loudspeakers, simply dust using a dry cloth. If the
loudspeaker is marked, we recommend that you use just a damp cloth. Never use
solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products, scrapers or scouring
utensils to clean the surface of the loudspeaker. Avoid positioning the
loudspeakers near to any heat sources.
Choosing an amplifier
It is not an excess of amplifier power that can damage your loudspeakers and
drivers, but rather a lack of power. In fact, if the volume is too high, the
amplifier saturates and generates parasite signals that may destroy the
tweeter. The dynamic capacity and definition of On Wall loudspeakers are high
enough to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of whatever amplifier is
connected to them. Your dealer will be able to assist you in your choice
according to your tastes and budget.
Conditions of warranty
All Focal loudspeakers are covered by warranty drawn up by the official Focal
distributor in your country. Your distributor can provide all details
concerning the conditions of warranty. Warranty cover extends at least to that
granted by the legal warranty in force in the country where the original
purchase invoice was issued.
