Thank You Thank you for choosing Definitive Technology DT Series In-Wall loud-speakers. The DT Series offers excellent sound quality from speakers that virtually disappear when installed in a wall or ceiling. To ensure you experience the finest performance possible, please take some time to fully read this owner’s manual and familiarize yourself with the proper installation and set-up procedures.
1. DO NOT PAINT THE GRILLE WITH A BRUSH OR ROLLER they will clog the fine mesh of the grille and cloth scrim and result in poor sound quality. 2. Remove the grille from the speaker and place it on a drop cloth, newspaper or plastic sheet. 3.
Optional Fire-Rated Enclosures Definitive DT Series speakers have been designed to meet UL 1480 and 2043 standards when used with the appropriate optional Definitive fire-rated enclosures. All plastic parts used in the speakers are V0 flame rated as per UL 94. While these enclosures are necessary in most countries for commercial and multi-family installations, residential customers may want to use them for added safety and/or to reduce the sound from “leaking” into adjacent rooms.
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].
Installation Cautions Installing DT Series speakers requires skill 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.
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. • Make sure the material into which you plan to mount the speakers (plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support the weight of the speakers. • Make sure the locations you select do not conceal studs, electrical wiring or plumbing.
• Once you have cut the hole, pull the speaker wire out of the hole and connect the speaker. Strip 1/2” inch (12 mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors of the wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the conductors into a single unfrayed strand. Note that one of the terminals on the rear of each speaker is marked red (+) and the other black (-).
• • Push down on the top of the terminal to reveal the wire hole in the side of the terminal post and insert the wire into the hole [Figure 12]. t Release the pressure on the terminal to secure the wire. Figure 12 • Loosen the rotating lock arms by turning the lock arm screws on the front of the speaker counter clockwise 1⁄2 to 1 turn, just enough to allow the lock arm to move freely. [Figure 13].
• Place the speaker carefully into the cutout. If you have a level, use it to help you correctly align rectangular speaker models. Tighten the lock arm screws with a screwdriver [Figure 15]. This will rotate the lock arms [Figure 16] and secure the speaker to the wall/ceiling. Do not over-tighten the lock arm screws. If you are using a powered screwdriver or drill, set the torque to a value of 7 in. – lb. (8dN – m). Install the grille on the speaker frame. Powerful magnets hold the grille in place.
Safety First When installing your Di Series In-Wall Loudspeakers, be aware of the weight of your particular model and the sturdiness of the material into which you are installing the speaker. Also be aware of any concealed studs, electrical wiring or plumbing in the wall or ceiling into which you are installing the speakers. If you are not sure of a safe way to install these speakers, consult a professional installer, your authorized Definitive Technology dealer, or a building contractor.
