Introduction

With these Sonance speakers, you can add depth to your music experience. Each speaker features a silk tweeter and a strong glass fibre woofer that work together to produce a broad frequency response. These Sonance speakers come with a pair of spherical perforated steel grilles that may be coated to fit your decor and are simple to install.

What’s In the Box?

• In-ceiling speaker box contains
• (2) MAG6R Speakers,
• (2) paintable grilles
• (2) mounting cut-out templates

Stereo Placement

2-Channel

• Place the left and right speakers 6 – 10 feet (1.8m – 3m) apart, with the main listening position as close to midway between the speakers as possible.
• In most cases pivoting the woofer of each speaker directly towards main listening position will help maximize the stereo soundstage.

Before Installation

1. Determine the location for the speaker.
2. Perform an obstruction survey using a stud finder to be certain that there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating, ducts, pocket doors or air returns in the ceiling cavity that will interfere with the speaker. If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole in the center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire into the hole to feel around for possible obstructions.

Mounting Space Requirements

• 8 1/4” (210mm) diameter cut-out; 4 3/4” (121mm) depth within the mounting cavity.

1. Position the included cut-out template where the speaker is to be located and pencil an outline on the ceiling.
2. Cut the mounting hole using a keyhole or drywall saw and run the speaker wires from the mounting hole to the amplifier location.

NOTE
 CONSULT LOCAL BUILDING CODES BEFORE RUNNING SPEAKER WIRES THROUGH CEILINGS.

Installation

MAG6R speakers feature an exclusive, integral Roto-Lock® mounting system for quick mounting directly into existing ceilings.

1. Strip 1/4”-1/2” (6mm – 12mm) of insulation from each speaker lead. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire with solder to ensure that there are no stray strands. (Stray strands that touch each other can cause a short-circuit that can damage the amplifier.)
2. The speaker’s connector posts are spring-loaded. Push the top of each connector post down to open the connector and insert the exposed wires into the holes in the posts.

• The speaker’s positive post is labeled with a red dot; the negative post is labeled with a black dot. Double-check that you connected amplifier “+” to speaker “+” and amplifier “–” to speaker “–”.

1. Make sure all the Roto-Lock clamps are retracted so that they are tucked within the mounting hole’s border. Insert the speaker into the hole in the ceiling. The Roto-Lock system can accommodate a maximum ceiling material thickness of 1 1/4” (32mm).
2. Tighten the four screws on the front of the speaker baffle. The Roto-Lock clamps will automatically rotate into position and begin clamping the speaker. When you notice resistance on the screws the speaker has been clamped successfully.

IMPORTANT
 Always use low-torque settings; NEVER over-tighten.

NOTE
ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE ROTO-LOCK CLAMPS SO THAT THE SPEAKER FRAME IS FLAT WILL HELP ENSURE THAT THE GRILLE CONTACTS THE CEILING ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SPEAKER FOR A PROPER FIT.

1. The micro-trim grille is held in place by several small, powerful magnets on the speaker frame. Place the grille against the speaker and the magnets will hold it firmly in place. When properly installed, the grille trim should make contact with the wall all the way around the speaker.

Speaker Adjustments Pivoting Woofer and Tweeter

Pivoting drivers allow you to direct sound towards or away from the listening area, depending on how the speakers are being used:

• If you’re using the speakers in stereo or as the front left/center/right speakers in a home theater, pivot the woofer and/or tweeter directly towards the listening area. This will help the sound from the speakers blend into a solid soundstage even if the speakers are widely separated.
• If you’re using the speakers as surround channel speakers in a home theater, you can create a more diffuse, spacious surround effect by pivoting the woofer and/or tweeter towards a wall or window, away from the listeners.

To Pivot the Tweeter
Apply light pressure to the plastic ring around the outside edge of the tweeter dome. Do not touch or apply pressure to the tweeter dome itself.

To Pivot the Woofer
Apply pressure on the outer edge of one of the tweeter support brackets. Do not touch or apply pressure to the woofer cone.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are the covers white?
  yes

• Are these ceiling speakers aimable? Meaning does the inside of the speaker move to point the music to an angle instead of coming straight down? }
  Yes. Both the speaker and the tweeter are independently amiable.

• Can these be installed on the wall instead of the ceiling?
  You could, but there is a difference regarding the sound, in-wall speakers are mounted front-firing with the woofers pointed horizontally across the room, while ceiling speakers are mounted down-firing from the ceiling above.

• Will these work with an Onkyo tx nr656? I asked this because I know they recommend their amp?
  Yes, it should.

• Is Sonance suitable for ceiling speakers?
  I’m delighted I chose the 8-inch size after listening to the Sonance 6.5-inch speakers. They provide rich, high-quality sound, look high-end, and save space in my family room. Simple to set up. Purchase, pricing, and goods were all excellent.

• Is Sonance a Sonos product?
  Sonos Architectural by Sonance is the first premium architectural speaker designed for use with Sonos Amp, according to Sonos.

• Is it possible to listen to music through ceiling speakers?
  Ceiling speakers are excellent for playing music. They have the capacity to generate a surround sound experience that envelops you, similar to that of being in a concert hall or attending a live music event.

• Is it worthwhile to invest in Sonance speakers?
  Sonos speakers are noted for their outstanding sound, ease of use, and ability to connect directly to streaming music providers. The Sonos by Sonance built- in speakers have the same high-quality construction as previous Sonos devices, but with Sonance’s built-in speaker engineering.

• Is Sonance a good brand of outdoor speakers?
  For the most part, Sonos Outdoor works well and causes minimal harm. Unfortunately, it sounds dull, and the price is prohibitively high. The vocals have a pleasant midrange, and the sound is sufficiently full. It’s also obvious enough at the top to be effective.

• Is a subwoofer required for ceiling speakers?
