SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES

These speakers are intended for indoor use only.

Do not expose these speakers to water or moisture of any kind.

If operating these speakers in a humid environment, ensure that no condensation

occurs. Condensation could cause damage to the speaker cones and voice coils.

Power off and unplug all Audio/Video components when making wired

connections. Only apply power after all connections have been made.

Double-check all connections prior to applying power to ensure that speaker

polarity is properly made and that there are no stray wire strands, which could short

the connections, either on the backs of the speakers or the AV receiver/amplifier.

Do not use full volume until after the speakers have been fully broken-in.

If you hear distortion, reduce the volume until the distortion is no longer audible.

Distortion can sound like a buzzing, scratching, or hammering sound. Distortion can

damage or destroy the delicate speaker coils.

Do not use cleaning fluids, solvents, or other chemicals to clean the speaker frames

or grilles.

Do not use excessive volume when listening to these speakers. If you experience

pain, discomfort, or dizziness, reduce volume immediately. Prolonged exposure to

excessive volume can cause permanent hearing damage.

Do not disassemble or attempt to service these speakers.

You must use speaker wire rated for in-wall use.

Do not attempt to install these speakers near power outlets, wall switches, or

ceiling fixtures. These objects indicate the presence of AC power lines within the

wall or ceiling and should be avoided.

When checking for the presence of objects behind the wall, do not try to force the

wire past obstructions.

Always check and adhere to your local building and fire safety codes before

installing these speakers and running wires through the walls and ceiling.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing these In-Wall/In-Ceiling Speakers!

IN-WALL VERSUS IN-CEILING SPEAKERS

In-Wall and In-Ceiling speakers are identical in concept and differ only in their form. Wall

speakers are traditionally square, like windows and doors, while ceiling speakers are

traditionally round, like light fixtures. The instructions in this manual specify installation

into a wall, but the same procedures apply to ceiling installations.

SPEAKER BREAK-IN

In the same way that a new car requires a break-in period before it can be safely operated

at high engine RPMs, speakers require a break-in period before they can be safely operated

at maximum volume levels. Proper break-in ensures that the moving parts of the speaker

(the cone and cone suspension) are allowed to flex and soften, losing the initial stiffness

and allowing the speaker to move through its full intended range. After the break-in

period, the speakers will produce richer and fatter sounding lows, warmer and smoother

sounding mids, and cleaner and more accurate highs, without any hint of distortion.

The best way to break-in speakers is simply to play normal music or watch movies at

moderate volume levels. The amount of time required for speaker break-in varies based on

the operating environment, but is typically in the area of 50~80 hours. It will take a bit

longer in a cold or dry environment and a little less time in a warm or humid environment.

Note that the break-in period does not have to be continuous.

SPEAKER WIRE PREPARATION

Before attempting to make any connections it is best to look at the situation, get all the

necessary materials together, and then make all the connections at once.

First, look at the back of your amplifier or receiver to determine what options it offers for

making connections. Amplifiers and receivers typically employ either 5-way binding posts,

spring-loaded terminals, or push terminals for the speaker connections.

A 5-way binding post can accept bare speaker wire, spade plugs, pin plugs, and banana

plugs, while spring loaded terminals and push terminals can accept either bare speaker

wire or pin plugs. Refer to the documentation that came with your amplifier or receiver to

determine the maximum size/gauge speaker wire the speaker terminals can accept. These

speakers feature push terminals, which can accept pin plugs or bare wire up to 14AWG.

If your amplifier can accept it, you should use 14AWG speaker wire. Using pin plugs is

highly recommended for several reasons. Plugs are easier to connect, don't run the risk of

stray wire strands shorting the connections, allow for use of heavier gauge speaker wire in

most cases, and it is much easier to identify the polarity from a color coded ring on a plug

then from a subtle marking along the length of a wire.

Because the speaker wires will necessarily be run through your walls and/or ceiling, you

must use in-wall rated wire. This is required by fire safety codes and ensures that the wire

jacket will not act as an accelerant in the event of a fire.

Rather than using fixed length speaker wires, it is best to get a roll and cut the wires to the

length you will need them. This ensures that there is a minimum amount of excess wire.

However, even if your amplifier is off-center, the lengths of wire used for each speaker pair

should be identical. This keeps the impedance on each channel the same, which ensures

that the volume levels, frequency ranges, and tonalities are identical. Any excess wire

should be snaked back and forth, not coiled, to avoid creating an inductor/antenna for

stray radio signals.

Before making the actual connections, cut each length of wire to size. Note the markings

on the wire that differentiate between each conductor. Sometimes the marking clearly

identifies a positive and negative side. Some common clearly positive and negative

markings or identifiers are:

Positive

Negative

Red

Black

Copper

Silver

╋╋╋

━━━

In many cases, the mark is a single stripe on the jacket of one of the connectors. In this

case the side with the stripe is generally

considered the positive side, but it really does not

matter as long as you are consistent and always

use the stripe as positive or always use it as

negative.

When you are ready to prepare your speaker

wires, first separate about 4" of wire, then strip

about 1/4" (6mm) insulation from the end and twist it to prevent stray strands. If you plan

to use banana or pin plugs (highly recommended), install the plugs on the wire.

PAINTING

The grilles can be painted to match your walls or ceiling, making the speakers even less

noticeable. Perform the following steps to safely paint them without damaging the

speaker.

1. Pull on the edge of the magnetic grille to remove it from the speaker.

2. Paint the speaker grille. It is best to use spray paint to avoid paint clogging the

holes in the grille.

3. Allow the paint to completely dry before proceeding with installation. Ensure that

the holes in the grille are not blocked by paint.

INSTALLATION

Perform the following steps to install the speaker onto a wall or ceiling composed of

drywall. Note that most of the same procedures apply to ceiling installations. The speaker

can be mounted to a surface that is between 1.2" and 1.7" thick, with at least 3.7" internal

clearance.

1. Determine where you will be installing the speaker. Use a stud finder to ensure that

there is sufficient space between the desired location and the adjacent studs. Be

sure and check for horizontal framing members, as well. Use a pencil to mark the

edges of the adjacent studs.

2. Position the installation template against the wall or ceiling at the installation

location.

3. For in-wall installations, use a carpenter's level to ensure that the template is level.

4. Use a pencil to mark the cut line around the outside of the template.

5. Remove the template from the wall and set it aside.

6. For in-wall installations, use the level again to check the cut lines to ensure that

they are level. Repeat steps 2-5 as necessary until the cut lines are level.

7. Drill a small hole in the middle of the cutout area. If the proposed installation

location is not clear, you can more easily repair the small hole than if you cut

without checking and find one or more obstructions.

8. Take a stiff piece of wire, such as a hanger, and bend it 90° about 8" from the end.

Insert the wire past the bend, then rotate the wire 360° to check for hidden

obstructions behind the wall or ceiling. Push it in to ensure that there is sufficient

clearance.

9. Once you know your installation location is clear, use a drywall or keyhole saw to

cut along the cut lines.

10. If you have not already done so, prepare your speaker wire in accordance with the

guidelines in the

SPEAKER WIRE PREPARATION

section above.

Important! Because the speaker wire will necessarily be routed through your walls

or ceiling, you must use in-wall rated speaker wire!

11. Route your speaker wire from the back of your amplifier, through the wall or ceiling,

to the installation location.

12. If you have not already done so, completely remove the grille, which is held in place

with magnets for ease of removal.

13. Depress the positive/red push terminal on the back of the speaker and insert the

bare wire lead or pin plug into the hole. Release the terminal.

14. Depress the negative/black push terminal and insert the bare wire lead or pin plug

into the hole. Release the terminal.

15. Give a gentle tug on each lead to ensure that they are securely connected to the

terminals.

16. Ensure that the mounting tabs on the speaker assembly are turned inwards.

17. Position the speaker into the hole.

18. Push the round end (labeled install) of the included L-shaped installation tool into

each of the four holes on the speaker frame. The spring locks will snap into place,

securing the speaker to the wall or ceiling.

19. Replace the magnetic grille onto the speaker frame.

20. Ensure that your amplifier is powered off and unplugged from the power source.

21. Connect the amplifier end of the speaker wire to one of the speaker level outputs

on your amplifier, taking care to match the polarity markings on the speaker wire or

plugs.

22. Repeat the above for the other speaker.

Congratulations, your speakers are installed and ready for use!
