suggest that a Sound Acoustics load center or impedance matching volume control is used, to prevent
overloading your receiver/amplifier.
5. When connecting the wire to your speakers, the same wire which is connected to the positive terminal
of the amplifier must be connected to the positive terminal of the speakers. It is important to check
this on all speakers. If one speaker is connected incorrectly, or is “out of phase”, the sound quality
will be seriously impaired.
Step-by-step Speaker Installation Instructions
1. The speaker cut-out must be at least 2” from adjoining walls, ceiling, internal studs and pipes.
2. Hold the supplied template in your preferred location and trace around it. This is the exact cutout
size.
3. Cut the hole with the appropriate tool for your wall or ceiling material.
4. Follow the speaker connection directions included with your amplifier or receiver. Strip 1/2” of
insulation from each of the speaker wires to expose the bare metal and twist each into a single
strand. Connect “+” to the RED terminal on both the speaker* and amplifier, and the “-” to the
BLACK terminal on both the speaker and amplifier.
*When connecting to the 70 volt transformer, connect the “+” wire to the 2.5w, 5w, or 10w wattage
tap, or by-pass the transformer by connecting it to the 8 ohm wire.
5. It is possible to paint the speaker grill and frame to match the wall or ceiling before mounting.
Remove the foam, found under the grill, after the paint is dry.
6. After insuring that the rotating clamps are flipped inwards, place the speaker into the cutout in the
wall or ceiling. Tighten the mounting screws using a power screwdriver or Phillips screwdriver, taking
care not to over tighten. This will rotate the clamps, securing the speaker to the wall or ceiling.
7. Install the grill on the speaker.
8. When removing the grill, do not use a knife to pry between the grill and the speaker frame. Instead,
insert a pointed metal tool into one of the grille perforations near the edge and lift the grill free.
