Speaker Installation Instructions
Step 1: Selecting Speaker Mounting Location
One NXQ
™
Flat Panel Wall Speaker is designed for rooms less than
1200 sq. ft. and with a ceiling height of 9–12 feet.
Before starting the system installation, speaker placement needs to
be decided. This speaker is designed to be centered on the long wall of
the classroom (figure 1). Ceiling height must be 9 feet or higher and the
speaker should be mounted 6.5–7 feet from the floor (figure 2).
If the classroom is not rectangular, or has a ceiling that is not horizontal
(flat), call LightSPEED Technical Support (800.732.8999) to determine
optimum speaker placement.
Step 2: Mounting the Speaker
A.
Measure 6.5–7 feet up on the center of one of the long walls to
determine approximate speaker location. The speaker comes with
standard picture hangers. Attach the hangers to the wall in the
same manner as if hanging a picture. The speaker has a wire on the
back that will allow it to hang on the wall. Do not hang the speaker
until after “B” is completed.
B.
Locate the coil of speaker wire. To connect the wire to the
speaker, press down on the colored terminals on the back of the
speaker, insert the wire, and release the tab to hold it in place. Using
the end with the two colored wires, insert the black wire into the
black-tabbed terminal, and the red wire into the red-tabbed
terminal. Hang the speaker on the hanger in the same manner as
hanging a picture.
Step 3: Connect Speakers and Wire to the Receiver/Amplifier
A.
Run the wire by best route from the speaker to the receiver/
amplifier. For permanent installations it is usually best to route
wire overhead when possible. It is common practice to run speaker
wire above suspended ceiling tiles. NOTE: wiring should be installed
and secured according to state and local school building codes.
B.
Connect the other end of the speaker wire to the receiver/amplifier
in the following manner based on the system type:
750iR
(see figure 3)
i. Unscrew the red and black caps on the binding
post connectors.
ii. Insert the bare red wire into the red hole that was revealed
by unscrewing the red cap and the black wire into the hole
on the black connector.
iii. Screw the caps back down onto the wires until they
are secure.
iv. Make sure the speaker on/off switch next to the jack is
switched to the “on” position.
