LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR HOME THEATER
•
Place the front left, center and front right
loudspeakers centered 1 - 2 feet (0.3m - 0.6m) in front
of the video display. The ideal distance from the front
left to the front right loudspeaker is 6 - 10 feet (1.8m
- 3m). The distance between both loudspeakers and their
nearest side wall should not exceed 2 feet (0.6m).
•
The primary listening area should be 4 - 10 feet (1.2m -
3m) away from the front loudspeakers.
LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR 5.1-CHANNEL SYSTEM
•
Place the left and right
surround speakers 2 - 6 feet
(0.6m - 1.8m) behind the primary
listening area. The distance
between both loudspeakers should
be 6 - 10 feet (1.8m - 3m).
LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR 7.1-CHANNEL SYSTEM
•
Place the left and right
surround speakers directly to
the sides of the primary
listening area. The distance
between both loudspeakers should
be 6 -10 feet (1.8m -3m).
•
Place the surround back speakers
2 - 6 feet (0.6m -1.8m) behind
the primary listening area. The distance between both
loudspeakers should be 3 - 6 feet (0.9m - 1.8m).
CUT-OUT
•
It is highly recommended to perform an obstruction
survey to be certain that there are no studs, conduit,
pipes, heating, ducts or other similar obstacles before
cutting out the hole for your in-ceiling loudspeaker.'
•
Use the cut-out template to mark the position of the
loudspeaker.
•
If you are not certain about any obstructions behind the
loudspeaker position, you should start by cutting at a
45° angle to the surface material pointing inward
towards the center of the hole (figure 4). Cutting the
hole by this angle will make drywall repair much easier
as the cut-out-piece can be
installed neatly back into place.
•
Once you have determined that
there are no obstructions in your
target location, cut the finished
hole at a 90° angle.
Caution: Loudspeaker components can get hot while performing
at moderate to high volume levels. Maintain a minimum of 1 "
(25mm) clearance between loudspeaker components and plastic
vapor barriers and/or any insulation material.
LOUDSPEAKER INSTALLATION
•
Remove the grille.
•
Connect the speaker cable to the
amplifier. Make sure the
connection is according to the
polarity of your amplifier and
the correct speaker channel.
•
Insert the loudspeaker into the
mounting cut-out and tighten the
clamping screws.
•
Adjust the direction of the
tweeter to your primary listening
area. Avoid touching the dome
tweeter, as damage may occur.
•
Install the grille back into place.
Caution: Over-tightening the clamping screws may warp the
baffle, crack the ceiling or cause difficulty in aligning
the grille.
PAINTING THE GRILLES
•
We recommend painting your grilles prior to
installation. If you decide to paint them in the future,
it is best to remove them by simply detaching them from
the loudspeaker.
•
Do not paint the grilles while they are installed on the
loudspeakers.
•
Remove the cloth material from beneath the grille before
painting. Once painted, place the cloth back to its
position.
•
Take care not to clog the holes of the grille while
painting. Ideally use light spray painting.
