TWEETER ADJUSTMENTS 

The  tweeter  level  switch  allows  subtle  balance  adjustments  to  accommodate  room 
acoustics and personal preference.  
 
To  enhance  imaging  the  tweeter  can  be  angled  to  the  listening  area.  Pressing  on  the 
plastic edges of the tweeter allows for 0-30

°

 tilt in all directions. Be careful not to press 

on the tweeter dome itself as damage will result. This will void the warranty! 
 

 

 
SPEAKER INSTALLATION

 

Once  you  have  made  a  decision  on  where  to  install  your  speakers  and  have  verified 
that the location is safe, you will need the following tools to complete the installation  
 

• Stud Finder • Drill & Drill Bits • Wire Cutter/Strippers • Speaker Wire 

• Pencil • Phillips Screwdriver • Utility Knife or Drywall Saw • Painters Tape 

 

Use  only  multi  stranded,  copper,  16  gauge  minimum,  speaker  wire  approved  for  use 
within  walls.  Consult  with  your  local  building  department  for  approved  wire  types  and 
wiring methods.  
 
Find  a  location  between  two  wall  or  ceiling  studs  that  will  accommodate  speaker 
installation.  Carefully  measure  for  clearance  and  lightly  trace  the  included  cut-out 
template  onto  the  surface.  Cut  a  small  test  hole  near  the  center  of  your  cut-out  trace. 

CAUTION:  Proceed  with  the  final  cut  out  of  your  opening  only  after  you  have  verified 
your  cut-out  location  is  free  from  electrical  wiring,  water  pipes,  heating  ducts, 
obstructions, etc. THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP AND SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED!
