Your Wall Series speakers come from the factory with the tweeter
facing straight out from the baffle. This will result in the overall
smoothest response. However, depending on your particular pri-
mary listening area, room acoustics, ceiling height, or personal
preference, you may find the sound more pleasing by pointing
the tweeters in a particular direction. If additional treble is desired
in the primary listening area, point the tweeter towards that area;
and if less treble is required, point the tweeter away. When used in
a home theater environment as side or rear channel speakers, the
best result will be obtained by pointing the tweeters toward an
adjacent wall. Push gently at the edge of the tweeter to point it in
the desired direction.
(See Diagram 3)
CAUTION: Avoid touching metal dome tweeters, as damage may
occur (W680, W690, W800 & W850)
.
Tweeter Adjustment
(W680, W690, W800 & W850)
:
The switch labeled TREBLE allows for 3dB of treble adjustment.
Your speakers were shipped with the treble switch in the “–”
position, providing the most linear frequency response. If you
desire more treble, move the switch to the “+” position, and the
tweeter will play 3dB higher. To return to the neutral setting, push
the switch back to the “–” position.
(See Diagram 4)
Woofer Adjustment
(W680, W690, W800 & W850)
:
The switch labeled BASS allows for 3dB of bass adjustment. Your
speakers were shipped with the bass set to “–”. This setting pro-
vides the flattest bass frequency response. If you desire more
bass, push the switch to the “+” position and the bass will play 3dB
higher. To return to the neutral setting, push the switch back to
the “–” position.
(See Diagram 4)
SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS
The unique integral six-foot mounting system incorporated into
each Wall Series speaker allows for a quick installation by following
these easy steps:
1. Remove the grille. It may be necessary to push one or two of
the mounting screws and its attached foot towards the baffle
and against the inside surface of the grille to force the grille out
of its retaining groove.
2. Attach the speaker cable (observing the proper polarity with
your amplifier, + to + and – to –). Make sure the left channel
of the amplifier is connected to the left speaker, and the right
channel is connected to the right speaker.
3. Make sure the mounting feet are turned inward to clear the
opening, and insert the speaker into the wall. Position the
speaker into the hole.
Note:
The flange of the speaker is designed to flex and conform to
any small imperfections in the wall’s surface. Tighten the six screws
on the front of the baffle only enough to make the flange become
snug against the wall. As you tighten the screws, the feet will
automatically flip into an outward position
(See Diagram 5)
, thereby
clamping the drywall between the feet and the flange.
CAUTION:
Over-tightening may warp the baffle, crack the wall, cause
the flange to distort, and make the grille difficult to install.
4. Push the grille firmly into the slot in the speaker baffle.

If you plan to paint your speakers, we recommend that it be done
prior to installation. If you plan to paint your speakers sometime in
the future, it is best to remove them by simply reversing the steps
for
“SPEAKER INSTALLATION”
above.
If it is necessary to paint the speakers when they are in the wall,
the paint masks provided in the carton must be installed between
the grille and flange while they are being painted with the wall.
Before painting your speakers, remove the material under the
grilles. Once the speakers have been painted, return the material
back into place.
Great care should be taken not to clog the holes of the grille, as
this will reduce the sound quality of the speakers.
Proficient Audio Systems recommends only light spray painting
using 5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint.
