Speakers

These in-wall speakers are designed to accurately reproduce music, including today's demanding digital signals. In-wall speakers

are designed so that the wall and the space behind it actually become the speaker cabinet. Mounted flush to the wall, they

require absolutely no floor space. The frames and grilles may be painted to blend with any decor. The discrete, compact format is

ideal for many applications where traditional speakers would be impractical or impossible. In-wall speakers may be used inde-

pendently where space is a consideration, or to bring music to additional rooms in the house. They can also be used to enhance

and enrich subwoofer and surround sound systems, for which they are especially suited.

Speaker Placement

Once installed, in-wall speakers are not easily moved or repositioned. Take a little extra time to carefully consider a good speaker

location before you begin. Each room is unique, so decide what works best for you. Unlike traditional speakers, in-walls mount

flush and cannot be angled or aimed back into the listening area from the corners of a room. As a general rule, the speakers

should be mounted close to, or above, ear level, and at least one-third of the distance from the corner of the room to the center

of the wall or ceiling in which you will mount them.

Allow at least 1

•

" of clearance between the cut out and any studs or joists for the mounting hardware to work properly. A

mounting depth of 3

•

" measured from the face of the wall is also required. The speaker location and associated mounting

hardware should not conflict with any existing wires or pipes.

Hooking Up The Wires

The terminals will accommodate up to 16-gauge speaker wire, which should be used for longer connections (greater than 50 feet

of wire). For shorter distances, 18 or 20 gauge speaker wire will be adequate. Leave about two feet of extra wire at the speaker end

to make installation and positioning of the speaker easier. Do not use staples, nails or other metal objects to secure the speaker

wire. The resulting short circuit could affect your system's performance, and could also damage components in your system, espe-

cially the amplifier. You will get the best sound quality and least amount of hum by keeping the speaker wires away from other

electrical wires and cables.
