Placement
Make certain the speaker is located between ceiling joists to avoid cutting into joists. Place the
supplied template a minimum of 5/8 from any joists. Draw a line around it to mark the cutout.
Take care when cutting the hole to avoid cutting into pipes or electrical conduits. If you encounter
pipes, electrical conduits or other obstacles you may have to select another location for the
speaker.
Installation
Before installing the speaker connect the speaker wires as described under Hookup.
Remove the grill from the speaker. First loosen screws A (fig. 1) by turning them counter clockwise.
Loosen all 4 screws until the Dog ears B (fig. 2) can move freely. Do not remove the screws.
Install the speaker into the ceiling and position it. Turn screws A clockwise until they are tightened
and the frame firmly installed.
Before reinstalling the grill on the speaker make adjustments as described under Adjustments.
Reinstall the grill. If the grill has a loose fit and/or is vibrating when the speaker is playing remove
the grill, install the supplied non-curing glue strips at locations C (fig. 1) and reinstall the grill.
Hookup
The receiver/amplifier must be turned OFF before you connect the speakers or it may cause
damage to the receiver/amplifier.
Connect the speaker wires from the receiver/amplifier to the speakers. When connecting the
speaker wires make sure that LEFT (L) is connected to LEFT (L), RIGHT (R) to RIGHT (R), POSITIVE
(+) to POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) to NEGATIVE (-). If terminals are color coded, RED is POSI-
TIVE (+) and BLACK is NEGATIVE (-).
For dual voice coil models (designated by DVC in model number) connect LEFT (L) to one side
and RIGHT (R) to other side of speaker.
Adjustments
The tweeter can be tilted towards the listening area, due to high frequencies being more
directional than low frequencies. The impedance of the speaker and the level of the tweeter are
adjustable except on DVC models. Both adjustments are located on the front of the frame.
IMPEDANCE:
The factory setting is 8 ohm. If the receiver/amplifier specifies a minimum
impedance of 4 ohm, the speaker may be switched to the 4 ohm posi-
tion. This will make the speaker play louder. When installing more then 1
pair of speakers to a receiver/amplifier special care should be taken to impedance matching the
speakers to the receiver/amplifier. This may require impedance matching devices. Consult your
dealer for information regarding impedance matching.
TWEETER LEVEL:
The factory setting is 0 dB. The level of the tweeter can be lowered
by 3 or 6 dB to suite individual tastes in different room
environments. Experiment with the settings to find the preferred sound.
