Speaker

The unique integral six-foot mounting system incorporated 

into each Inwall Speaker allows for a quick installation by 

following these easy steps:

1. Remove the grille from the speaker baffle.

2. Attach the speaker cable (observing the proper polarity with 

your amplifier, + to + and – to –). Make sure the left channel 

of the amplifier is connected to the left speaker, the right 

channel is connected to the right speaker, etc.

3. Make sure the mounting feet are turned inward to clear the 

opening, and insert the speaker into the wall. Position the 

speaker into the hole. Note: 

The speaker is designed to flex 

and conform to any small imperfections in the wall’s surface. 

 

  Tighten the six screws on the front of the baffle only enough 

to make the speaker become snug against the wall. As you 

tighten the screws, the feet will automatically flip into an 

outward position (See Diagram 2), thereby clamping the dry-

wall between the feet and the speaker. 

 

  CAUTION: Over-tightening may warp the baffle, crack the 

wall or cause difficulty in aligning the grille. 

4. Reattach the grille onto the speaker baffle.

SPEAKER INSTALLATION

Diagram 2:

Mounting Feet

The Inwall Speakers come from the factory with the tweeter 

facing straight out from the baffle. This will result in the overall 

smoothest response. However, depending on your particular 

primary listening area, room acoustics, ceiling height, or 

personal preference, you may find the sound more pleasing 

by pointing the tweeters in a particular direction. If additional 

treble is desired in the primary listening area, point the tweeter 

towards that area; and if less treble is required, point the tweeter 

away. When used in a home theater environment as side or rear 

channel speakers, the best result will be obtained by pointing 

the tweeters toward an adjacent wall. Push gently at the edge  

of the tweeter to point it in the desired direction. (See Diagram 3) 

NOTE: 

The tweeters on the W667 do not pivot.

CAUTION: Avoid touching metal dome tweeters, as damage 

may occur (W852, W802, W692 & W682).

Tweeter Adjustment (W852, W802, W692 & W682):

The switch labeled TREBLE allows for 3dB of treble adjustment. 

Your speakers were shipped with the treble switch in the “–” 

position, providing the most linear frequency response. If you 

desire more treble, move the switch to the “+” position, and the 

tweeter will play 3dB higher. To return to the neutral setting, 

push the switch back to the “–” position. (See Diagram 4)

Woofer Adjustment (W852, W802, W692 & W682):

The switch labeled BASS allows for 3dB of bass adjustment. 

Your speakers were shipped with the bass set to “–”. This set-

ting provides the flattest bass frequency response. If you desire 

more bass, push the switch to the “+” position and the bass 

will play 3dB higher. To return to the neutral setting, push the 

switch back to the “–” position. (See Diagram 4)

SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS

We recommend painting your grilles prior to installation. If 

you decide to paint them in the future, it's best to remove the 

grilles by simply detaching them from the speakers. Do not 

paint the grilles while they are installed on the speakers.

Before painting, be sure to remove the cloth material from 

beneath the grille. Once painted, place the cloth back to its 

position beneath the grille. 

When painting, be careful not to clog the holes of the grille. 

The sound of the speaker will be dramatically reduced if the 

perforations in the grille are covered in paint. 

Proficient recommends only light spray painting using five 

parts thinning agent to one part paint.
