Introduction Thank you For purchasing an Ambiance in-ceiling stereo loudspeaker. It will provide natural, balanced sound reproduction without taking up space in your listening room. The superb acoustic performance and single enclosure stereo design makes it an excellent choice for any location that cannot accommodate two separate speakers for stereo sound.
Placement Because the new Ambiance stereo loudspeaker has wide-dispersion, there is a great deal of flexibility in placement. Unlike freestanding loudspeakers (which can be easily repositioned), an in-ceiling speaker installation is permanent. The homeowner and installer should work together to determine the best location. The ideal position should provide an unobstructed sound path from the speaker to the listeners. In some instances, a compromise between ideal location and appearance may be necessary.
Installation Conventional Plaster or Drywall Ceilings 1. Decide roughly where to place the speaker. Using a stud-finder (or other means), locate any joists near these locations. Adjust speaker placement so the ceiling cutout is not located directly below a joist. Some speaker adjustment is available within the cutout. Use the supplied template to outline the area to be cut. When cutting into a ceiling, be careful not to damage wiring, conduit, or plumbing.
2. If you have not already done so, run the speaker wires to the source or local room volume control. Note: The ceiling may contain some form of insulation. Fiberglass batting should be left in place, as it is sonically desirable and will hold its shape. Remove blown-in type insulation from the air space behind the speaker. Note: Wear gloves when handling insulation. Locate the speaker wires and strip 3/8” of insulation from the ends.
5 About Amplifier Power In Case of Difficulty The amount of power needed to drive loudspeakers varies significantly. It it effected by factors such as the size of the room, absence of presence of in-wall volume controls, the acoustics, the type of music, and how loud you play the speaker. Even the smallest Ambiance loudspeaker can play safely with the most powerful home amplifiers and receivers.
