Installation and Wiring INSTALLATION NOTE: CONTROLLING VIBRATION Because of their high performance, EVID FM Series loudspeakers can generate substantial vibration, which can cause buzzing in loose sections of the wall, depending on the character of the wall and related components. Step 1: Cut the Hole For sheetrock walls, cut out the hole by tracing the cardboard template (See Figure 4). If the wire has been pre-installed, pull the wiring through the cutout hole.
Installation and Wiring INSTALLATION NOTE: CONNECTOR WIRING GUIDELINES Two possible layouts for wiring a group of speakers are described below. 1. Wiring in parallel. Connect the wire pair of the subsequent speaker to pins 2 and 3. When one input connector is removed, subsequent speakers will remain connected. See Figure 6. 2. Daisy-chaining. Connect the wire pair of the subsequent speaker to pins 1 and 4.When one input connector is removed, subsequent speakers will also be disconnected. See Figure 7.
Installation and Wiring Step 3: Mount the Speaker Into the Wall Push the speaker into the hole until the front baffle rim is flush with the wall. Tighten the mounting tabs by turning the screw clockwise until the speaker is secure. Please note that the first clockwise quarterturn rotates the attachment tabs outward. The remaining turns tighten the tabs down onto the back of the wall (see Figure 10).
Installation and Wiring EVID™ FM4.2 In addition to the 8-ohm setting,the power taps are 30 W, 15 W, 7.5 W, and 3.75 W at both 70.7V and 100V, with a 1.75 W tap for 70.7V only. EVID™ FM6.2 In addition to the 8-ohm setting, the power taps are 60 W, 30 W, and 15 W at both 70.7V and 100V, with a 7.5 W tap for 70.7V only.
Appendix A - Painting the Speaker If the speaker is installed in an area where the interior design requires a color match, these speakers are simple to paint. The speakers can accommodate almost any type of latex or oil-based paint. The bezel/rim can be painted before installation or after mounting into the wall. Painting Process Clean the rim and grille with mineral spirits or other light solvent. Do not use harsh solvents such as gasoline, kerosene, acetone, or other chemicals.
Appendix B - Troubleshooting Table Problem Possible Causes Action No Output Amplifier Make sure the amplifier channel is being fed an input signal (preferably via a “signal input” indicator on the amp). Check that the amplifier channel’s volume is turned up. Connect the speaker and cable, which had no output to another amplifier channel, making sure an input signal is fed to the new amp channel. If you then get output, the problem was the amplifier channel.
Appendix C - Uniform Limited Warranty Electro-Voice® speakers and speaker systems are guaranteed against malfunction due to defects in materials or workmanship for a period of five (5) years from the date of original purchase.The Limited Warranty does not apply to burned voice coils or malfunctions such as cone and/or coil damage resulting from improperly mounted or installed enclosures.
