2.
Phillips and fl at-blade screwdrivers.

With the hardware supplied, the speaker can be installed in existing walls and ceilings from

”
(9.5mm) to 1
1
/
2
” (38mm) thick. For thinner walls, you will need to use spacers (not provided) for
the mounting bracket. In walls greater than 1
1
/
2
” (38mm) thick, you will need longer screws.
Installation
1.
Using the inside edge of the template, mark
the outline of the installation hole and cut
it out.
2.
Run wire from the amplifi er to the cutout.
Allow an extra foot of wire at the cutout.
Strip
1
/
2
” (12mm) off wire, and tightly twist
the wire strands.
3.
Remove speaker grille. Carefully pry each
corner with an awl or small screwdriver.
4.
Prepare the speaker/bracket assembly for in-
stallation as shown. For new construction, an
optional bracket (Model NCB8 for the IW-S7,
Model NCB6 for the IW-T7) is available from
your Snell Acoustics dealer.
WARNING:
To prevent electrical shock hazard,
always switch off the amplifi er or receiver when
making connections to the speaker.
IMPORTANT:
Typically, one side of the wire is
smooth. Connect this side to the – (black) speaker
terminal. The other side has a rib or stripe. Connect
this to the + (red) speaker terminal. Connect wire at the amplifi er in the
same way. Failure to do so will result in degraded sound.
6. Install speaker according to diagram below.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overtighten screws. Doing so will break the frame
and/or make it impossible to insert the grille.
