Important Considerations Before

Installation

Recommended Wire Sizes

The longer the wire run, the heavier the wire should be. Use the following

recommendations as a guide for your installation. And if you're in doubt,

remember that it never hurts to get the next heavier grade of wire. Also note

that lower gauge numbers equal heavier wire sizes.

Wire Run Wire Gauge:

<15 ft. 16 ga.

15 to 30 ft. 14 ga.

>30 to 50 ft. 12 ga.

Location Considerations

A major determinant of any speaker's sound quality is its location in the

room. With in-wall speakers there are fewer placement options than with

free-standing speakers, so giving some thought to location can really pay

off. Our In-Wall Theater Systems have been designed to minimize the det-

rimental effects wall mounting can have on sound, so they sound better

than conventional in-wall speakers.

Room Acoustics

Hard surfaces create lots of sound reflections in the room while soft surfaces

tend to absorb sound. Note the speakers' location in terms of proximity to

glass and other highly sound reflective or absorptive surfaces. A simple set

of curtains or an area rug can make a major difference in sound quality and

intelligibility by reducing excessive reflections.

Speaker Placement

For all the following situations, it's recommended that you first place small

box speakers in the proposed locations, just to get a good idea of how

that location will sound. In-wall speakers are tough to move once they're

installed!

DVC off

DVC on

For all the following placement instructions, it's important to bear in mind

that for aesthetic considerations, many people prefer to mount their in-wall

speakers well above seated ear level, as doing so minimizes the speakers'

visual intrusion on the room.

In those cases, simply engage the DVC "on" and the midrange output of

the speakers—which determines both intelligibility and localizability—is

directed down towards the listener's ears, even though the speakers are

mounted high up on the walls.

For those situations where localizability is not desired, such as background

music (sometimes called "whole-house audio") or surround channel use,

leave the DVC "off. "

Stereo Music Listening

For stereo music reproduction, place the speakers at approximately ear

level when seated, with both speakers on the same wall facing the prime

listening location. A separation of approximately 6 to 8 feet between the

left and right speakers is usually good. Ideally, the distance between the

two speakers will be close to the same as the distance from the speakers to

the listening position.
