Once the hole is cut, clean all edges and debris from the area. Attach

the wire from your amplifier to the terminals on the back of the speaker.

Double check the polarity of the speaker wires, amp to speaker

+ and amplifier - to speaker - proper polarity is critical in home theater

installation.

Insert the frame into the wall opening and attach to the mounting surface

by tightening the screws to engage the swinging “dog” connectors. The

frame's mounting dogs will “sandwich” the wall and frame together.

Install the module and press the grille in place. Start the insertion of the

grille on one edge and slowly work your fingers around the grille edges.

Make sure all edges are in the groove before you apply pressure. Do not

push hard. If the grille is not going in, this means not all edges are in the

groove. Ease off grille and start over.

PAINTING THE SPEAKERS AND GRILLES

Speaker baffle and grilles can be painted before installation, which will

eliminate the “paint scar” if the speaker needs to be removed for service.

Speakers may also be painted after installation, but before the grilles are

attached. All speakers come from the factory with paint mask included.

Use the paint mask to protect the drivers while the baffle is being painted

with the wall.

Rave Technology suggests always painting the grills separate from

the speaker. The grilles may be lightly sprayed with thin paint (5 parts

thinning agent to 1 part paint), but be careful not to plug the holes. Too

much paint will adversely affect the sound of the speaker.

Once the grilles and baffle are painted and dry, remove the paint mask from

the baffle and install the grilles.

Rave Technology in-wall frames and grilles are designed to accept

most types of paint. Care should be taken to avoid excessive paint build-up

in the grille perforations.

Rave Technology In-wall speakers

feature swiveling tweeters to aim

sound directly at the listening

area, simply remove the grille and

gently adjust the tweeter to the

desired position.
