Speaker Placement Instruction Manual Important Considerations Before Installation Recommended Wire Sizes The longer the wire run, the heavier the wire should be. Use the following recommendations as a guide for your installation. And if you’re in doubt, remember that it never hurts to get the next heavier grade of wire. Also note that lower gauge numbers equal heavier wire sizes.
Home Theater Placement IWTS Series In-Wall Theater System Speakers Home Theater Systems Front Speaker Array should be placed as close to ear level as possible. Left Center Optional Dipole/Bipole Speakers should be placed directly to the sides of the seating area and approximately 1-2 feet (.3-.6 meter) above the listener’s ear level.
Installation Instruction Manual Mounting the IWTS Speakers NOTE: We always recommend a professional be involved in the installation of IWTS speakers. The IWTS speaker can be easily mounted in most any standard wall material, from ½ to 1½ inches thick. Its rotating wall clamps (sometimes called "dog legs") firmly fix it to the wall surface after the proper cutout has been made.
Installation IWTS Series In-Wall Theater System Speakers Installing the Mounting Frame The clamping mechanism allows the wall material to range from ½ to 1½ inches (13 to 38 mm) in thickness. There must be a minimum depth behind the wall face of 3 5⁄8” (92 mm). As noted above, be sure to keep the edges of the cutout at least ½ inch (13 mm) away from any stud or obstruction, as the rotating clamps will not operate properly if you don’t.
Front Panel Controls Instruction Manual Front Panel Controls The IWTS speakers have three controls that help optimize the speaker’s performance regardless of mounting location or room acoustics. If it’s necessary to mount the speaker closer than 12 inches to the ceiling or corner, you may find that by switching the Boundary Compensation control “on,” the speaker sounds better. We recommend that you try the control in both positions and see if it helps in your particular installation.
