model R6.5LCRZ.2
red label series
Home Theater Left/Center/Right
Ceiling-Mount Speaker System
Congratulations on choosing an Elura In-
Ceiling Loudspeaker. Like all Elura products,
great care has been taken in their design.
Their combination of advanced engineering
and state-of-the-art materials will provide you
with years of listening pleasure, while blending
smoothly into your home’s decor. Before you
get started, it is a good idea to identify all the
parts and hardware (See Fig. 1).
Where To Place Your In-Ceiling Speakers
(Figs. 2A and 2B)
The unique shape of the R6.5LCRZ.2 allows for more accurate imaging when used
for
front channel in-ceiling home theater left/center/right applications. Placement can
make
all the difference in how your speakers sound, and how easy they will be to install.
Carefully consider where your speakers should be positioned. For optimum performance
the center channel speaker should be positioned in the ceiling as shown and centered on
the TV. The left and right speakers should be mounted a minimum of 8 to 10 feet apart.
All three speakers should be in the same line or plane so they are equal distance from the
listening position. Avoid mounting speakers in stud cavities containing electrical wiring,
heating ducts, water pipes, etc. Make sure the ceiling materials are sturdy enough to
support the weight of the speakers.
Adjustable Tilt-Swivel Tweeter Island
(Figs. 3A and 3B)
The tweeter island in the Elura ceiling speakers can be directed toward the listening area
allowing you to tailor the speaker's dispersion pattern to better fit the desired listening area.
The overall smoothest response is achieved with the tweeter island facing straight out;
however, you may find the sound more pleasing by aiming the tweeters toward a particular
listening position. To adjust the tweeter island direction, you can rotate the tweeter housing
clockwise or counterclockwise (a maximum of 180°) as shown in Fig. 3a.
Adjust the tweeter
island’s angle by holding it on either side of the long axis and tilting the island toward the
desired listening position (a maximum of 20° each direction) as shown in Fig. 3b.
Speaker Installation In Existing Construction
(See Fig. 4 on back)
Once you have selected the location for your speakers, you are ready to install them.
You will need the following:
• Stud Finder • Drill & Drill Bits
• Wire Cutter/Strippers
• Speaker Wire
• Pencil
• Phillips Screwdriver • Utility Knife or Drywall Saw • Masking Tape
NOTE: (See Fig. 5 on the back) If you plan to use the optional back can enclosure,
you need to attach it now (refer to back can manual for installation instructions).
Elura recommends the use of 16-gauge wire minimum. For wire options consult your
retailer or custom audio contractor.
1. Elura Speakers are designed to be installed in the ceiling or wall area between studs.
Using a stud finder, make sure you are between two studs. Tape the supplied template to
the wall and lightly trace around it with a pencil.
2. Cut the hole using your drywall saw. You may want to start with a small hole in the
center of the outline. This will allow you to check for any obstructions that may exist be-
hind the desired location. CAUTION: Be certain electrical wiring, water pipes or heating
ducts do not interfere in the planned installation areas prior to drilling or cutting the wall.
3. Run speaker wire from your amplifier or speaker switching device to speaker location.
4. Carefully remove the grille
and set it aside where it
won’t get bent.
