One pair of speakers should be located directly to the sides of the listening area (one on each side, but you knew
that). One or two additional rear speakers will be required for 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound. If you prefer an ambient
and subtle surround sound, such as a dipole speaker provides, then locate either the 6-IW or 6-IC speakers well above
ear-level. You can attain a more direct sound, like what monopole or bipole speakers produce, when placing 6-IW
speakers at or slightly above ear-level. If some speakers need to be further from you than the others, don’t worry, you
can compensate for this later.

Aperion Audio In-Wall and In-Ceiling Speakers (6-IC, 6-IW & 6-DT)
In-ceiling speakers
a.
Your speakers came with their grills
attached. To remove the grills prior to
installation, insert the supplied tool through
a grill-hole near the edge and simply pull the
grill out.
b.
Attach the speaker wire to the push
terminals on back of the speaker.
It’s very
important to wire them with the correct
negative/positive polarity.
Note: The wire
terminals on the 6DT are detachable for
installation convenience. Please see Fig C & D.
Be sure that the wire attached to the positive
terminal (+, red) on the speaker connects to
the positive terminal on the receiver. Similarly,
the negative terminal (-, black) on the speaker
must connect to the negative terminal on the
receiver. You can use the stripe, differing
colors or “+++” markings on one of the wire
strands to keep track.
c.
Be sure the mounting feet are turned
inward to clear the opening, and then insert
the speaker into the ceiling or wall. Position
and aim the speaker and tighten the four
screws on the front of the baffl e. As you
tighten the screws, the feet will automatically
fl ip to an outward position, clamping the
drywall between the feet and the white frame.
If you’re using a powered screw gun, fi nish
tightening with a hand screwdriver to avoid
over-tightening. Tighten just enough for the
fl ange to become snug against the ceiling.
(Over-tightening may warp the baffl e, crack
the wall, cause the fl ange to distort, and make
the grill diffi cult to install.)
