wire. The resulting short circuit could affect your system's performance, and could also damage components in your system,
especially the amplifier. You will get the best sound quality and least amount of hum by keeping the speaker wires at least 18
inches away from other electrical wires and cables. Always cross speaker wires with other cable at a 90-degree angle.
When connecting your in-wall speaker, it is very important to retain the correct polarity. To do this, be sure that the wire
attached to the + , red, positive, or hot terminal on the speaker connects to the +, red, positive or hot terminal on the other
component. Similarly, the –, black, negative or ground terminal on the speaker must connect to the respective –, black, negative
or ground terminal on the other component.
Mounting the Speaker
Yes, you will be cutting a hole in the wall or ceiling. With the right tools and a little extra care and preparation, installing the
in-wall speaker can be both quick and easy. Carefully cut out the hole drawn on the cardboard template at the perforated edge
labeled "CUT ALONG OUTSIDE RING FOR MOUNTING TEMPLATE". (Note: The inside ring on the template can be used to
shield the woofer while you paint the frame.) Next, position the template (now a border) where you have chosen to mount the
speaker, and trace along the inside edge. Make your cuts along this line. A utility knife will make the cleanest cuts in drywall.
A keyhole saw or an electric jigsaw may also be used. Try to keep the cuts neat, however the frame will overlap the hole to hide
any rough edges. At this point, with the wall open, run the speaker wires into position, and again, leave about two feet of extra
wire at the opening. Remove the grille from the frame by pressing the quick-turn mounting screws from the back of the speaker
into the grille itself.
Remove the thin piece of foam positioned under the grille, which was used to protect the speaker during
transport.
Position the swivel tweeter so that it points toward the place in which you will be listening to the speakers.
Attach the speaker wires to the speaker. With the grille removed, insert the speaker into the mounting hole. Use a Phillips head
screwdriver to turn the screw slowly clockwise. The quick-turn mounting system and frame will sandwich or clamp around the
wall to hold the speaker in place. Do not overtighten. If you are unsure, consult a professional contractor.
Installing The Grille
The metal grille, as well as the frame, may be painted to match any room. If you choose to paint them, do so before attaching the
grille to the speaker. The grille is held in place by a friction fit and is difficult to remove once the speaker is installed. If the grille
feels a little loose, or you are concerned about a grille falling from a ceiling installation, we have provided a small amount of putty,
which you can apply (sparingly) to the inside rim of the speaker before you insert the grille. The putty acts as an additional
adhesive between the grille and the frame.
Warranty
All HTD speakers carry a five-year parts and labor warranty. Details of the warranty and return authorization process are available
