Pivoting Tweeters
Install the Speakers
The pivoting tweeter directs sound toward or away
from the listening area to achieve a desired effect. To
direct sound toward a listening area, the pivoting
tweeter may be angled by applying pressure on the
tweeter frame, which surrounds the dome tweeter. If
there is any question about how the tweeter should be
adjusted, consult your Authorized Knoll Dealer. Here
are some additional suggestions:
Remove the grill by pushing
each of the integral mounting
system clamps toward the
front of the speaker. They
should lie in the full clockwise
position so that all clamps are
tucked within the cutout
border. Observing the proper
polarity with your amplifier, (+)
to (+) and (-) to (-) attach the
speaker wires. Make sure the
left channel of the ampli
connected to the left speaker,
and the right channel is
connected to the right
speaker. Make sure the bared
wires are making good
contract with the gold speaker
connectors.
• Orient the tweeter toward the listening area if the
speakers are widely separated and the music fails to
blend into a central image when the system is operated
in stereo.

• Orient the tweeter toward the listening area when
additional brightness is desired.
• Orient the tweeter away from the listening area if
the music or video soundstage seems too narrow or
restricted.
• Orient the tweeter away from the listening area if it
sounds too bright.
Adjust Tweeter Level Controls
Install the speaker by bringing
the outer edge flush with the
wall. You will notice the four
Philips screw heads in four
corners on the front baffle of
the Knoll speaker (with the
grill off). Use a screwdriver to
tighten these screws evenly.
This will automatically rotate
your integral mounting system
clamps over the drywall
surface and securely clamp t
speaker flange to the wall.
When the tightening
resistance of all four screws is
firm the speaker has been
successfully sandwiched
between the drywall and the
speaker flange. The flange is
designed to flex and conform
to any small imperfections in
the wall surface.
Before the speaker is installed, adjustments are
available by adjusting the switch(es) located on the
crossover assembly on the back of the speaker.
Independent settings make it possible to fine-tune the
sound to the room’s particular nuances, the system’s
demands, or your own listening tastes. The switches
allow three levels of tweeter output attenuation 0dB,
-3dB or –6dB. We believe you will find the 0dB setting
works well in a majority of listening situations with no
additional adjustments being necessary.
Accessories
Optional Accessories for your Knoll speakers:
VE650TR Pre-construction plastic bracket for new
construction, can be stapled or screwed to studs. For
SD652 and SE650 6.5” in-ceiling speakers, one pair.
VE800TR Pre-construction plastic bracket for new
construction, can be stapled or screwed to studs. For
SE800 8” in-ceiling speakers only, one pair.
The screws should not be
tightened so far that the
flange bows out. If this
occurs, reduce the tension on
the screws a little.
Finally, if painting is not
required, reinsert the grill in
the speaker baffle.
