SR62s Owners Manual

 

Congratulations and thank you for choosing Knöll inwall speakers!  
To assure correct installation and to realize the full potential of these 
new speakers, please read and follow these instructions carefully. If 
you have questions or comments, please don't hesitate to call or write 
your authorized Knöll dealer. Your dealer has the experience needed to pinpoint any problems that may exist 
and has easy access to technical information from the Knöll factory. 

 

Speaker Placement

 

Knöll SR62s speakers are designed to work within almost any interior-decorating scheme where inwall or 
flush mounting is possible. Ideally SR62s speakers are ceiling mounted 2-3 meters (6'-10') apart, away from 
corners directly over the listening area. This ideal placement gives the best stereo imaging. Position SR62s 
speakers as symmetrically as possible. SR62s speakers can be ceiling or wall mounted. 

 
Installation Tips

 

1.

 Follow all electrical and building code requirements in your area. 

2.

 A minimum mounting depth of 3" (76mm) measured from the face of the wall or ceiling is needed in order 

to fit properly. SR62s speakers can be placed right next to studs or other wall interior items but avoid near 
proximity to pipes, machinery and high amperage wiring. 

3. 

The mount wings provided with SR62s speakers can accommodate sheet rock or wallboard thickness of  

1/2" to 1-3/8". Spacers or longer screws can be used on thinner and thicker surfaces.  

4. 

Avoid mounting speakers closer than 0.5m (20") from a video monitor or TV screen. If any video or TV 

screen distortion is detected, the video monitor or TV should be moved farther away from the speaker. 

5. 

It is not necessary to install SR62s speakers in a special box unless required to do so by local electrical or 

fire regulations.  

6.

 Adding insulation such as 10cm (4") rock wool behind the SR62s generally improves sound quality. 

7. 

Speaker wire should be minimum 16 gauge (ideally fire code rated), low oxygen wire. Runs longer than 

10m (30') should be 14 or 12 gauge. 

8.

 Parallel or series wiring is generally acceptable for SR62s speakers to obtain correct amplifier loading. 

Avoid series wiring SR62s speakers with any other  
speaker type. 

9.

 Always take care to connect the speaker wire runs in  

phase. An easy method verify polarity follows. Connect  
a 1.5V battery across the speaker wire at the amplifier  
location (see fig 1). Have someone observe if the SR62s  
cone moves in or out. If the cone goes out (toward the  
observer) the + wire is now connected to the + terminal  
of the battery and that wire should be connected to the  
+ terminal of the amplifier. Other speaker(s) should be  
tested and connected in a similar manner.

Installation: Existing Construction  

1.

 Use a stud locator device or other means to determine a suitable sized wall or ceiling cavity for the SR62s. 

2. 

When ceiling mounting try to make the locations as symmetrical as possible. When wall mounting 

carefully measure the distance from the floor to the speaker center so both speakers are

 exactly

 the same 

distance from the floor. Draw a circular 7-1/4” hole at the correct location. Cut the hole out using a sheet rock 
saw, keyhole saw or other suitable device. Place the SR62s  in the hole to verify correct flush mount fit. 

3.

 Run speaker wires from the amplifier to the room volume control location (optional) then to the left and 

right speakers. Allow an extra 1m (3') of wire at the speaker cutout location to make installation easier. Strip
