Thank you for purchasing the EWS Edgeless In-Wall Speaker series, one of
Earthquake's most valued in-wall speaker lines. With the proper installation and
operation, the EWS will provide a lifetime of durability and high-end performance.
It is very important to follow all installation/mounting instructions and recommendations
in this manual closely and carefully to insure optimal performance operation and
longevity.
The EWS Features:
- Frameless design for reduced visibility
- Long excursion kevlar speaker and woofer cones
- 1” (25mm) silk dome NEO swiveling tweeters
- ± 3dB bass and treble controls
- Elaborate crossover networks
- Easy Turn-N-Lock™ installation mechanism
- Gold plated, spring loaded terminals
- Magnetically attached, paintable grilles
Painting Guidelines:
The EWS Edgeless In-Wall Speaker grilles are paintable and can accept virtually any
type of paint. Spray and roller paint applications typically provide the best results.
When you are ready to begin painting, remember to shield the driver and tweeter from
the paint. Also, be sure to remove the inner grille cloth prior to painting and replace it
once the paint has completely dried.
Speaker Placement:
The EWS Edgeless In-Wall Speakers are designed to be flush mounted in the walls or
ceilings. To optimize their acoustics you should follow these simple guidelines:
For best stereo reproduction the speakers should be placed an equal distance from
your listening position and separated so that the angle between them is between forty
(40) and sixty (60) degrees. The units should be placed with the tweeters near the ear
level of the seated listener.
