Installation recommendations
Foam piece for sound damping and optimization
The sound quality of any installation loudspeaker system without a cabinet enclosure is
strongly influenced by the rigidity of the wall or ceiling and the damping of the internal wall
cavity.
 Note the following tips to improve the sound quality of your speaker installation:
• A foam piece is supplied to damp the area behind the drive units. We recommend the
whole section of the wall cavity to be filled with wadding, such as mineral wool used
for insulation.
• To obtain a satisfactory bass response, keep the area of approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m) around
the speaker clear of wadding. If more bass is required, remove more wadding around
the speaker.
• To further optimize the sound quality of the speaker, improve the stiffness of the wall
by adding bracing (inside the wall) around the speaker.
• To adapt the loudspeaker to various environments the tweeter level can be adjusted:
–IP series:
With the 3-position switch placed on the right hand side of the tweeter by ±1.5 dB.
– IW/IC series:
With the 3-position switch accessible via a hole in the front plate by ±2 dB.
CAUTION
Prohibited damping material
Using damping material that does not meet safety regulations may cause fire and may be
dangerous to your health.
 Check that the materials you use meet the local fire and building regulations.
