COLOR-MATCH PAINTING
(optional)
Your new in-wall/in-ceiling speakers have a textured finish in neutral white to
blend into any room. The grilles may also be painted to match any decor.
Please note:
Do not paint the surface behind the grille and do not use a paint roller.
To Paint, Follow These Steps:
1) Remove the grille.
2) In a well-ventilated area, apply several light coats of paint to the grille,
letting the paint dry completely between coats. Always follow the paint
manufacturer’s directions.
TIP! Be careful to not plug the grille holes with paint. It is easier to spray the grille
than use a brush. Do not paint the grilles when they are installed on the speaker.
INSTALLATION
Turn your receiver/amplifier OFF before connecting speakers. This
will avoid damage which may result from accidental shorting of the
speaker cable.
Use only speaker cable that is rated for in-wall use.
• The UL standard is CL2, CL3 and CM
• The CSA standard is FT4
For optimum sound reproduction the use of high-quality speaker cable is essential.
1. Mounting
In-Ceiling Mounting
Place the mounting template onto the ceiling. Trace along the mounting template
cut-out (Fig. 3a). Cut a hole as indicated (Fig. 3b).
For optimum performance loosely place …
• one piece of standard fiberglass (to fit joist size) above the speaker extending
12 in (30 cm) or more beyond the speaker between the joists.
• (for taller joists) fibreglass insulation directly against the joists on either side
of the mounting hole.
In-Wall Mounting
Place the mounting template onto the wall and use a level to make sure it’s
straight (4a). Trace along the mounting template cut-out (Fig. 4b). Cut a hole as
indicated (Fig. 4c).
For optimum performance loosely place …
• two pieces, 8˝ (20 cm) to 12˝ (30 cm) long, of standard fiberglass insulation in
the wall R-12 for 2˝x 4˝ (5 cm x 10 cm) walls or R-20 for 2˝x 6” (5 cm x 15 cm)
walls. Place one piece above and the other piece below the mounting hole.
• a half-thick piece of fiberglass insulation, the same height as the speaker, in
the wall right behind the mounting hole.
