IN-CEILING SPEAKERS Installation and Instruction Manual
Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of RBH Sound in-ceiling speakers! Your speakers are the result of many years of research and development dedicated to producing high quality products for home audio and audio/video systems. This manual is designed to give you, the installer or owner, basic information as to the speaker’s installation and operation. We recommend you thoroughly read through the material contained in this manual before installing your speakers.
Room Setup Suggestions With nearly endless placement options, careful consideration for placement of the in-ceiling speakers needs to be considered, as installation requires cutting a hole in your wall or ceiling! When using speakers in home theater applications follow the guidelines illustrated below. Swivel Tweeter Placement The swivel tweeter allows sound to be directed toward or away from the listening area depending on the application.
Speaker Installation RBH Sound in-ceiling speakers are designed on an infinite baffle configuration. This means a back box is not required for the speaker to perform properly. RBH Sound in-ceiling speakers have also been designed to make installation as easy as possible. Upon opening the speaker boxes you will notice that the screws are pre-started into the dog legs. The basic idea behind in-ceiling speakers is the speaker is held in place by sandwiching the speaker and the drywall.
Speaker Installation (continued) NOTE: The frame will overlap the cutting edge by about a 1/2-inch which will mask any minor cutting inaccuracies. 5. Confirm the speaker easily fits into the hole, without any gaps. Connecting the Speaker: 6. Pull the speaker wire out of the hole and connect the speaker. Split the two conductors of the speaker wire apart about 3-inches so they form a “Y”.
Speaker Accessories Back Cans Back Cans (BC’s) attach neatly and directly to the back of in-ceiling speakers to prevent sound from being transferred into adjacent floors or rooms. Back cans on in-ceiling speakers are needed to meet building code requirements in select areas. All RBH Sound back cans are UL rated. Blank Plates Back Cans Blank plates are a very clean and efficient way to cover the holes left in drywall when a new construction bracket is used or a speaker is removed.
