Placement Options o o

Definitive Technology

placement options. But remember

that

placement choice for your in-wall

speakers bears careful consideration,

installation requires

that

you cut a

hole in your wall or ceiling!

Fill

aroom with sound by installing in-wall

speakers in nearly any wall or ceiling location although it

best to keep

the

speakers at least 2feet (60 em) from side walls

Installation

Installation Cautions

Installation of Disappearing Series Loudspeakers requires skills in

using tools such

adrill, screwdriver, saws

and

power tools. Installation

also entails running wires through walls.

You

should have athorough

understanding of local building

and

fire codes

and

afamiliarity with

the area behind the wall or ceiling into which

you

plan

install

your speakers.

When

cutting holes in

and

running wires through walls/ceilings you run

the risk of cutting electrical wires

water pipes thereby causing safety

hazards and property damage. If you are in

any

doubt

that

you possess

the necessary skills or tools, contact your Definitive Technology dealer,

general contractor or aprofessional installer.

Required

Tools

•Pencil

for

marking the location of installation.

•Bubble level (for

5.5S

and

6.5S

models only)

•Keyhole

saw,

utility knife or material- appropriate incising

implement

for

cutting drywall or other wall material.

•Phillips head screwdriver.

•Power drill with appropriate bit (optional, for starting wall cut).

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.

Left

channel wires

Figure

•Once you have cut the hole, pull the speaker wire

out of

the

hole and connect the speaker. Strip

'/z"

inch (12 mrn) of insulation from each ofthe two

conductors of the wire to expose the bare metal

and

twist each of the conductors into asingle

unfrayed strand. Note that one of

the

terminals

the rear of each speaker

marked red

(+)

and

the other black

(-).

Make certain that you connect

the wire from the red terminal (+) of your amplifi-

er or receiver to the

red

terminal (+)

your

speaker

and

the wire from the black terminal

(-)

of your amplifier or receiver to the black terminal

(-)

your speaker. Most wire has some indicator

(such

color-coding, ribbing or writing)

one

of the two conductors to help you maintain

consistency

[Figure

lla).

In the case of the

6.SSTR

single speaker stereo model, both left

and right channel speaker wires are connected

the speaker

[Figure

llb)

•Push down

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

secure the wire.

•Loosen the rotating lock arms by turning the lock

arm screws

•Make sure the material into which you plan to

mount

the speakers

(plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support the weight of

the speakers

(see

for

the weight ofyour model).

•Make sure the locations you select

not

conceal studs, electrical

wiring or plumbing. Prior

installation, hold the speaker with

grille

in your chosen

location to make sure it safely

clears obstacles such

studs,

comers, beams, lighting

and

door/window

Your

cutout must

be at least

adjoining walls or ceiling,

•Using the supplied template,

trace the installation location

You

can do

this by holding the template

in your preferred location

and

tracing around it. In the
