Important Installation Information!
* DSB (Regular and Narrow) & DSi-B BackBoxes
- provides some sound isolation to the adjoining area. While optional for stud walls, they are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED, especially for interior
walls. BackBoxes are NOT new construction brackets: All DesignerSeries speakers are designed to be installed after drywall is hung.
* DSSW & DSi-SW SolidWall BackBoxes (Regular and Narrow)
- are required for solid structures. They do NOT isolate sound to adjoining living areas. See installation instructions packed with each BackBox.
For other installation types see complete product installation manual online at www.triadspeakers.com/support.html.
All DS Speakers
Must Be Used
with HPF-2 or HPF-8 High Pass Filter/Current Limiter located at the amplifier to protect the speaker and validate the warranty.
Before Installing DesignerSeries Speakers, ensure that the building is environmentally sealed, dehumidified, and at stable temperature between 61 degrees F (16 C) & 95 degrees F (35C). Use only
with quick drying drywall compound (hours, not days). Do not install when humidity is high or environment is moist.

Triad DesignerSeries Speakers
Triad's DesignerSeries speaker panels use revolutionary "Diffuse Source", Opti Damping", & "Opti Drive" technologies to create clear, clean, intelligible sound from invisible speak-
ers. Unlike traditional cone speakers, DesignerSeries panels create sound using age-old musical instrument principles (think guitar). We replace the strings with a powerful electrical
tuning fork called an Exciter and the instrument body with a strong, light, aircraft grade honeycomb panel durable enough for walls & ceilings. The result? Incredibly natural sound.
Installed as instructed (see overleaf), DesignerSeries speakers are completely sealed and suitable for wet humid areas such as pools or bathrooms as long as the wall’s interior is
dry. They work especially well where uniform coverage and even volume levels are desired, such as surround channels and distributed audio. Installed vertically or horizontally,
their unique dispersion is perfect for locations where traditional speakers suffer, e.g. high on a wall well above listening or artwork heights or even in the ceiling. Built robust for the
long term, DesignerSeries speakers include an HPF-2 or 8 protection unit (depending on model & # of speakers) located at the amp to protect the panels from amplifier damage.
Triad DesignerSeries speakers offer Integrators & Designers a world class sounding speaker with no compromise to the interior design of any living space.
