Aiming the Tweeter
A tweeter aimed toward your listening position improves imaging and
detail.
To
aim the tweeter, first install the speaker in the desired location.
Rotate the tweeter
so
that the arrow
on
the tweeter faceplate
is
pointing
in the direction you wish to aim the tweeter
[Figure
5]
then
gently push
the tweeter in
that
direction
[Figure
6].
When
using
Di
Series In-Wall
Loudspeakers
as
front/main
home
theater speakers
or
as
stereo speakers
in a distributed audio system aim the tweeter toward
the
main
listening
position.
For
rear/surround speakers installed in walls or ceilings, aim
the tweeter toward the nearest reflecting surface (an adjacent wall or
ceiling)
for
a more diffuse sound field (if you
so
desire; for more direct
sound, aim
the
tweeters at your listening position).
Environmental EQ·
(not
included
on
Di
3.5R
and
Di
4.5R
models)
If
your listening room
is
very reflective, with
smooth
sheetrock walls,
hardwood floors,
and
non-cushioned furniture, the sound will be overly
"bright"
and
unnatural. Engaging
the
Environmental EQ feature
[Figure
7]
(by selecting
the
"-"
setting) compensates for the effect of
overly loud treble.
If
your room
is
has a lot of absorbing surfaces such as
over-stuffed furniture, heavy drapes
and
rugs such
that
the speakers
sound "dull," engage
the
"+" setting
to
boost treble response. Leave
the
switch in the center position in rooms with a balance of reflecting
and
absorbing surfaces (most rooms
fall
into this category). Note: the
Di
6.5STR
has a two position switch; the minus symbol "." represents normal treble
output
and
the plus symbol "+" represents treble boost.

Installation
Installation Cautions
Installation of Disappearing Series Loudspeakers requires skills in
using tools such
as
a drill, screwdriver, saws
and
power tools. Installation
also entails running wires through walls.
You
should have a thorough
understanding of local building
and
fire codes
and
a familiarity with
the area behind the wall or ceiling into which
you
plan
to
install
your speakers.
When
cutting holes in
and
running wires through walls/ceilings you run
the risk of cutting electrical wires
or
water pipes thereby causing safety
hazards and property damage. If you are in
any
doubt
that
you possess
the necessary skills or tools, contact your Definitive Technology dealer,
general contractor or a professional installer.
Required
Tools
• Pencil
for
marking the location of installation.
• Bubble level (for
Di
5.5S
and
Di
6.5S
models only)
• Keyhole
saw,
utility knife or material- appropriate incising
implement
for
cutting drywall or other wall material.
• Phillips head screwdriver.
• Power drill with appropriate bit (optional, for starting wall cut).
Installation Procedure
•
You
must first install speaker wires
that
meet appropriate building
and
fire
codes before installing the speakers. Use at least 18 gauge wire or
heavier to ensure optimum sound quality.
