2-way In-Ceiling Speaker System
Congratulations on choosing an Elura In
-
Ceiling Loudspeaker. Like all Elura products,
great care has been taken in their design.
Their combination of advanced engineering
and state-of-the-art materials will provide
you with years of listening pleasure, while
blending smoothly into your home’s decor.
Before you get started, it is a good idea to
identify all the parts and hardware (See F
IG
. 1).
Where To Place Your In-Ceiling Speakers
Placement can make all the difference in how your speakers sound, and how easy
they
will be to install. Carefully consider where your speakers should be positioned.
For
optimum performance, speakers should be mounted to the left and right of the
main
listening area and a minimum of 8 to 10 feet apart (See Fig. 2). Avoid mounting
speakers in stud cavities containing electrical wiring, heating ducts, water pipes,
etc.
Make
sure the ceiling materials are sturdy enough to support the weight of the
speakers.
Adjustable Tweeters
(F
IG
. 3)
The tweeter in your Elura speaker may be adjusted, allowing you to tailor the speaker
to better fit the listening area. The overall smoothest response is achieved with the
tweeter facing straight out
;
however, you may find the sound more pleasing by
aiming tweeters toward a particular listening area. To adjust the tweeter, grasp the
outside of the tweeter plate and gently pivot it toward the listening area.
Speaker Installation In Existing Construction
(See Fig. 4 on
back)
Once you have selected the location for your speakers, you are ready to install
them.
You will need the following:
• Stud Finder • Drill & Drill Bits
• Wire Cutter/Strippers
• Speaker Wire
• Pencil • Phillips Screwdriver • Utility Knife or Drywall Saw • Masking Tape
NOTE: (See Fig. 5 on back) If you plan to use the optional back can enclosure,
you need to attach it now (refer to back can manual for installation instructions).
Elura recommends the use of 16-gauge wire minimum. For wire options consult your
retailer or custom audio contractor.
1. Elura Speakers are designed to be installed in the ceiling or wall area between
studs. Using a stud finder, make sure you are between two studs. Tape the supplied
template to the wall and lightly trace around it with a pencil.
2. Cut the hole using your drywall saw. You may want to start with a small hole in the
center of the outline. This will allow you to check for any obstructions that may exist be-
hind the desired location. CAUTION: Be certain electrical wiring, water pipes or heating
ducts do not interfere in the planned installation areas prior to drilling or cutting the wall.
3. Run speaker wire from your amplifier or speaker switching device to speaker location.
4. Carefully remove the grille and set it aside where it won’t get bent. If you like the
standard white finish of your speakers, skip to step 5, but if you want your speakers
to blend in with a colored wall or
ceiling, now is the time to paint
your speaker’s perforated grille.
Remove the inner grille scrim
cloth before painting.
