8. Loosen the six rotating lock arms on the speaker by turning the arm screws on the front of the speaker
counterclockwise 1/2 to 1 turn, just enough to allow the lock arm to move freely (Figure 4).
• Make sure the rotating lock arms are positioned inwards (Figure 5) so that your speaker fits into your cutout hole.
9. Holding the speaker’s front lip with your thumbs and index fingers, carefully slip the speaker into the cutout
and hold firmly in place. (Figure 6).
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-think 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
®
Signature Point Source speakers are equipped with a set of 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

" (12 mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors to expose the metal, twist the strands
of each into a single un-frayed strand.
• Hold the speaker up to the cutout and connect the speaker cable. 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(+) terminal 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 theconductors to help main-
tain 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.

Turn your amplifier/receiver OFF before performing any connection steps, in order to prevent
accidental damage to your amplifier.
If you plan to use multiple speakers per amplifier channel. The minimum impedance of ONE Invisa
in-wall/in-ceiling speaker is 4 ohms per channel.
