Troubleshooting

Should your speakers not work properly, check the following:

If there is no sound from either speaker:

  • Confirm that the receiver/ amplifier is on and an active source is selected and playing

  • Most receivers have an A/8 speaker selector switch. Confirm which output the speakers are connected to (A or B) and make sure this is selected

  • Check all wiring and connections between the receiver/ amplifier and the speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured.
    If there is no sound from one speaker:

  • Check the balance control on the receiver/ amplifier. Make sure it is centered.

  • Check all wiring and connections between the receiver/ amplifier and the speakers
    If the receiver cuts on and off:

  • This could be caused by a short circuit between the positive and negative output leads. Check the connection at the back of the receiver/ amplifier and then at the speaker. Make sure the no strands of wire from one connector are touching the other connector.
    If there is low or weak bass:

  • Check the polarity of the speaker wiring. All speakers must be “in phase” with each other or bass performance will be compromised. Many modern receivers can be configured to drive a subwoofer directly. In this mode, bass energy is routed to the subwoofer only. If you do not have a subwoofer, make sure the receiver is not configured for a subwoofer.

Please read this manual completely before installing this product! It is important to completely understand the operation of this product to achieve optimum and reliable performance. Failure to do so can result in damage to the actual product and other audio electronics

Placement

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 to 10 feet 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 3/4 inch 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 structure. If you feel any extra resistance as you drill, please stop.

Installation

When running loudspeaker wires inside walls or ceilings, use special jacketed cable 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 1/4 inch 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 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 drill to begin mounting the speaker.
  5. Tighten the four screws. Use low torque and low speed or you may damage the loudspeaker. This should pull the frame and mounting 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.
  6. Do not over tighten the screws Over-tightening may cause the grille to be difficult to install.
  7. Install the grille by simply pushing the grille evenly into the hole until it snaps in place.
  8. Connect the other end of each loudspeaker wire to the receiver (or amplifier) carefully observing polarity.
  9. Turn on receiver/ amplifier and test all loudspeakers in the system.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can these be mounted to a false or acoustical ceiling?****

They are made for sheetrock or drywall. Any other application would necessitate unique brackets and reinforcements, neither of which we are equipped to recommend.

What are the changes in installation if these have been placed in both the wall and the ceiling?****

Whether you mount speakers in the wall or the ceiling, the installation process is the same.

Do they sound decently loud?****

There is no distortion, and the sound is excellent.

Does this speaker’s tweeter section tilt in different directions?****

The tweeter won’t tilt, no.

Do they all need to be directly connected into the receiver or can they be chained together?****

The receiver must be linked to each of them.

Does each room need two speakers, or may one be mounted there?****

Signals for music are stereo (right and left). Two distinct signals must go to two different speakers.

For each speaker, how many ohms?****

Each speaker is 8 ohms.

Inexpensive rear speakers for my surround sound are what I’m looking for. Each seat has a subwoofer and bass transducers. Are these suitable for me?****
