connectors.
Strip the protective jacket back 1/2" on each speaker wire lead. Press the
connector head down or push tab in, exposing a hole, and insert speaker wire
into the hole. Release the head/tab to lock onto the wire.

-
(negative) channel. To avoid shorts, keep stray strands clear of
adjoining connectors.

GRILL SCRIM
DA Series round grills come with white scrim (acoustically transparent cloth installed
on the inward-facing side of the grill). Square grills (sold separately) come with black
scrim to minimize the contrast of the black speaker baffle over a light-colored
surface. Either scrim can be removed and carefully reinstalled when repainting the
grill.

Mounting doglegs will move outward and tighten to secure the speaker to
the drywall.
Tweeter level switch (on select models)
In-Ceiling DA Series speakers have a 3-position tweeter level switch on their front baffle.
To increase the output of the tweeter, slide the switch towards the "
+
" mark. This will
increase the tweeter output by @ +3 dB.
To decrease the output from the tweeter, slide the switch towards the "
-
" mark. This will
decrease the tweeter output by @ -3 dB. For a neutral/flat response, leave the switch in
the middle position.
Tip:
Run a test signal to the speaker to verify the connection.
FINISH MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The paint finish on all Triad speakers is designed to last a lifetime with minimal care. If
cleaning the surface becomes necessary, gently wipe the speaker grill with a soft cloth
lightly dampened with water.
CUSTOM PAINTING
Custom painting is an option available from Triad at the time your speaker is ordered.
If you supply us with an actual paint sample or your paint’s make and model number,
we can paint your new speaker grill any color you wish. The results will be superior,
and you will also be supplied with a small bottle of touch-up paint.
Should you elect to paint these yourself, we recommend the following:
TRIAD DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SERIES IN-CEILING SPEAKERS - QUICK START GUIDE
Remove the grill from the speaker. DO NOT paint grill while it’s attached to speaker.
Carefully remove the cloth scrim from the inside of the grill (it will be re-used).
Paint all grills of like color using the same batch of paint.
Spray application is recommended. Use light, multiple coats to avoid blocking any
of the holes in the grill. (
Tips
: Use a spray can of compressed air to clear any
blocked holes during the painting process. Allow each coat to dry fully before
applying additional coats.)
When painting is completed and dry, re-attach the cloth scrim with light adhesive
to the inside of the grill.
Fit the grill to the speaker.
