Owner's Manual
INSTALLATION
If the speaker locations have not yet been established then do so
now. If possible, assess the area behind
the
ceiling for possible
concealed obstructions such as wiring, heating ducts, cross-bracing
etc. Absence
of
a crawl space
will
require greater study
of
observable
clues and may also require the use
of
inspection holes and inspection
tools (camera, mirror, flashlight, etc.). Use
an
"electronic stud finder"
to locate the positions
of
the
joists
or studs.
We
recommend
that
the
edge
of
the speaker holes be
at
least
3/4"
(19mm) away from
joists
or
studs whenever possible
to
allow clearance for the toggle clamps.
Once the speaker locations are established use the cardboard
template
or
the
plastic compass provided with your speaker to draw
the speaker
cut-out.
The hole diameters
for
the various speakers are
marked on the compass. The cardboard templates may also
be
used
as a visual aid
for
placement
of
the
speakers.
To
do this, temporarily
hold the templates in place with a push
tack
or tape.
Using
the
proper tool
cutthe
appropriate sized
hole in the ceiling.
On
drywall, clean
cuts
can
be
made
with
a drywall saw. Make sure
to
clean
the excess debris from
the
front
face
of
the
hole
to ensure a flush
fit.
If
the
cable has not yet been run, do so now
that
you have better
access
to
the ceiling. Once the speaker cable has been run, pull
the
end
of
the
cable
out
of
the speaker
cut-out,
strip back a section
of
the
jacket
as needed, and
then
expose ½" (13mm)
of
each conductor.
To
aid in speaker performance, a
fibrous
material,
such as
fiberglass, may be placed behind
the
speaker. This may also help
to reduce
unwanted
sound
from
being
transmitted
into
adjoining
rooms.
If
the
ceiling
space has
blown
or
loose
insulation,
care
must
be
taken
to
prevent
the
loose
insulation
from
entering
the
back
of
the
speaker. This can be
accomplished
by
placing
a
batt
of
fiberglass
insulation,
fabric
barrier,
or
bag over
the
back
of
the
speaker. Placing a rigid enclosure behind
the
speakers can
be done
but
the enclosure should be large enough not
to
degrade
the performance
of
the
speaker. Rigid enclosures of less
than
0.75
cu ft
(21
liters) should
be
stuffed with acoustic insulation such as
fiberglass.
As
the drawing shows, the speakers utilize Toggle Clamps which,
after
tightening, hold the speakers in place. Ensure
that
the toggle clamps
are rotated into
their
"Home" position
prior to installation. @
Verify
that
the speaker
fits
properly into
the
cut-out
and then remove
the
speaker
from the hole.

Connect
the
wire
conductors
to
the
terminals
on
the
back
of
the
speaker by
depressing
each
spring
terminal,
inserting
the
wire
into
the
hole, and
releasing
the
terminal.
Use care
to

polarity(+

. Speakers wired

will
exhibit
an
apparent

response.
This speaker is
optimized
for
off-axis
listening
through
the
use
of
a pivoting
tweeter
and a 15 degree
baffle
tilt.
We
recommend
directing
the
woofer
and
tilting
the
tweeter
toward
the
listening
position. USE

Insert
the
speaker
into
the
hole and
turn
each screw clockwise. The
toggle
clamps
will
rotate
outward
to
engage
the
ceiling
material
as shown. Before
tightening
the
three
screws,
orient
the
speaker
toward
the
listening
area. Tighten
all
the
screws. CAUTION:
DO
NOT
OVER-TIGHTEN THE CLAMPS.
Too
much
torque
may damage
the
toggle,
causing
the
speaker
not
to
seat
securely. A snug
fit
is alt
that
is necess_ary
to
assure proper performance.
Attach
the
grilles
to
the
speakers and enjoy. Should you wish
to
remove
the
grilles from
the
speakers
pull
at
the grilles' edge.
Initially there
will
be
a significant resistance because the grilles are
magnetically attached.
The grilles can
be
painted using
multiple
light coats
of
spray paint.
Custom color spray paints are available from specialty companies.
Contact your dealer
for
more information. The grilles should
be
removed from
the
~ker
and painted in a clean environment to
prevent contamination.
It
is best to
go
around the grilles and apply the
paint from
multiple
angles.
DO
NOT
remove
the
scrim cloth from the
backside
of
the
grille.
It
is not replaceable.
