Invisa 525-650 Manual
5.
For
In-Wall
Mounting:
•
For optimum performance, loosely place two pieces of standard fiberglass insulation in the wall,
one just above the hole and one just below. An 8" x 10" piece should work well, R-12 for a 2x4 wall,
R-20 for a 2x6 wall.
•
Also place a half-thick piece of fiberglass insulation cut to the height of the speaker in the wall right
behind
the
mounting
hole.
6.
For
In-Ceiling
Mounting:
•
For optimum performance, loosely place one piece of standard fiberglass insulation, cut to fit the
joist size, above the speaker and extending about 15" or more beyond the speaker;
•
For taller joists, also place fiberglass insulation against the joists on either side of the mounting hole.
7. Pull the speaker wire out of the hole and connect the speaker as follows:
•
Your
Invisa
®
speakers are equipped with a set of four high-quality push spring connectors that can be
used with bare wire. Make sure all wires are firmly fastened. Always use high quality speaker wire
of the correct rating (see above) and sufficient gauge for the distances you are running (see your
dealer
for
assistance).
•
Strip

/
2
" (12 mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors to expose the metal, twist the
strands of each into two single un-frayed strands. Repeat for the other channel’s two conductors..
•
Hold the speaker up to the cutout and connect the speaker cables. Proper polarity (or phase) is
critical for proper stereo imaging and bass performance. Connect the red(+) terminal of your receiver
or amplifier to the red(+) terminals of the Invisa loudspeaker and the black(-) terminal of your receiver
or amplifier to the black(-) terminal of the Invisa loudspeaker. (See Figure 3). Most speaker cables are
either color coded or have some indicator (ribbing or writing) on one of the conductors to help
maintain this consistent polarity. It is essential that all speakers be connected in the same way
(in phase) to its own channel of the amplifier. If you experience a great lack of bass, it is likely that
one speaker is out of phase(+ and – reversed) with the other.
•
Push down on the top of the speaker’s push terminal to reveal the wire hole in the post. Insert the wire
into the hole and release your pressure on the terminal. Repeat for all four connections.
