IWTS-30 LCR In-Wall Theater System Speaker
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 mini-
mum 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 1½inch (38mm)
away from any stud or obstruc-
tion, as the rotating clamps will
not operate properly if you don’t.
The speaker assembly is designed
to mount into the white frame,
after the frame is mounted into
the wall.
Insert the frame into the cutout and using a level or square carefully align
it so it is level. Tighten the mounting screws, which will cause the attached
clamps to rotate and position themselves properly behind the wall.
Continue to tighten until the frame is snug in the wall. You want the bezel
to conform to the wallboard, and the frame not to rattle from the speaker’s
vibration, but be very careful not to overtighten the screws.
It is strongly recommended that you hand-tighten the mounting screws
the final few turns (after using an electric screwdriver set to "low
torque") to avoid the possibility of damaging the frame.
Painting the Speaker Assembly
The white plastic frame and the
metal grille may be left as is, or
painted to match your décor. You
can paint the frame before or after
it is installed in the wall. Spray
painting (using slightly thinned
paint) is the best method to use for
painting the grille. Before painting,
carefully peel off the scrim cloth
from inside the grille. After paint-
ing the grille, use air pressure to
“blow out” any grille holes that are
filled in with paint, then carefully
replace the scrimcloth.
Speaker Connection and Assembly
Strip about ½" (13 mm) of insulation from the connecting wires. Connect
them to the appropriate push terminal, being careful to observe polarity
(positive to the red terminal, negative to the black terminal).
Installing the Speaker Enclosure into the Frame
Once the frame is mounted in the wall, the speaker simply fits into the
frame. Use the included screws to attach the Baffle to the mounting frame.
The baffle has a gasket around its outside edge to prevent unwanted air leaks,
and may therefore fit tightly into the frame. This is normal.
Use the included screws to attach the baffle to the mounting frame, but be
very careful not to overtighten the screws.
