Installation (Continued)
Strip 1/4 inch of insulation from the speaker wire, and while pressing
down on the terminal post, insert each conductor into the appropriate ter-
minal,
Fig 4
. Red is positive, and black is negative. Some speaker wire
denotes the positive lead with a dark line running through the insulation.
Once the speaker wire is connected to the speaker, center the speaker in
the cutout and secure it by turning the mounting screws clockwise until
the “dog ears” hold the speaker snug against the drywall. Be careful not to
over tighten the “dog ears”

.
When the speaker is in place you can, if desired, position the pivotal
tweeter so it is directed toward the listening area of the room,
Fig 6
.
Install the grill by placing it over the speaker and applying pressure
around the outside edge. Avoid pressure over the center of the grill.
Painting the Speaker
If desired, the speaker grill and trim can be painted to match the wall
color. Each speaker is shipped with a clear plastic paint plug designed to
protect the inner components of the speaker during the painting process.
Always remove the grill from the speaker prior to painting. The
AccentPLUS2 speakers have a micro-perforation grill. To prevent the paint
from filling the holes of the grill and interfering with the speaker's sound
distribution, the paint should be thinned at a ratio of 5 to 1 and sprayed on
the grill.
For best results, we suggest that you paint the inside of the grill, as well as
the outside. The AccentPLUS2 speakers ship with a decorative fiber back-
ing, which is easily removed for the purpose of painting.
Once the installation is complete, your speakers should be fully opera-
tional. Should you have no audio from the speakers, make sure the speak-
er wires did not become disconnected from the terminal posts, or that
there is not a short in the speaker wire.
