IWTS-4 In-Wall Theater System Speaker
Installing the Mounting Frame
The clamping mechanism allows
the wall material to range from
½ to 1½ inches (13 to 38 mm) in
thickness. There must be a mini-
mum depth behind the wall face of
3
5
⁄
8
” (92 mm). As noted above, be
sure to keep the edges of the cut-
out at least ½ inch (13 mm) away
from any stud or obstruction, as
the rotating clamps will not oper-
ate properly if you don’t. Insert the
frame into the cutout and using a
level or square carefully align it
so it is level. Tighten the mounting screws, which will cause the attached
clamps to rotate and position themselves properly behind the wall.
Continue to tighten until the frame is snug in the wall. You want the bezel
to conform to the wallboard, and the frame not to rattle from the speaker’s
vibration,
but be very careful not to overtighten the screws.
Painting the Speaker Assembly
The white plastic frame and the
metal grille may be left as is, or
painted to match your décor. You
can paint the frame before or after
it is installed in the wall. Spray
painting (using slightly thinned
paint) is the best method to use for
painting the grille. Before painting
the grille, carefully peel off the cloth
scrim. After painting the grille, use
air pressure to “blow out” any grille
holes that are filled in with paint.
Once the paint is dry, re-apply the scrim to the inside of the grille.
Speaker Connection and Assembly
Strip about ½” (13 mm) of insulation from the connecting wires. Connect
them to the appropriate push terminal, being careful to observe polarity
(positive to the red terminal, negative to the black terminal).
Installing the Speaker Assembly into the Frame
Once the frame is mounted in the wall, the speaker simply fits into the
frame.
Use the included screws to attach the baffle to the mounting frame,
but be
very careful not to overtighten the screws.
