Speaker Location
To achieve the best performance from your Dayton Audio
speakers, it is important to carefully select the location for
installation. Your in-wall speakers should be installed 5 to
8 feet apart to ensure proper stereo imaging. Mount each
speaker the same distance from the ceiling to maintain a
uniform look. Keep the speakers at least 2 feet away from
the corners of the room to avoid overemphasized bass
reproduction.
For the best stereo imaging, the listening position is
centered between the speakers with the tweeters at ear level. Decide if the primary listening posi-
tion will be in a seated or standing position. Mount the speakers so the tweeters are at the same
level or slightly above the listener's ears.
4)
Speaker Installation
Once you have selected the location for your speakers, you are ready to install them.
CAUTION: Be certain that there are no electrical wires, water pipes,
or heating ducts in the planned installation area before you start
drilling or cutting into the wall. If there is an electrical outlet nearby,
turn off the circuit breaker to avoid possible injury.
In-wall speakers are designed to be mounted in the wall between the
studs. Once you have selected the location, check to be sure you are
between the studs. One method is to tap on the wall, you will hear a
hollow sound when between two studs and a sharper, more solid sound
when right on top of, or close to a stud.
An easier, more accurate method for finding the location of studs is to use a stud finder.
The Micro-Edge In-Wall speakers include a two-part template. If you choose to paint the
speaker frames and grill remove outer rectangle from the template. The center rectangle is
used to mark the cut-out for the speakers.

Once you have established that your chosen location is between two studs,
and that there are no obstructions in the wall, tape your speaker template
to the wall and lightly trace around the inside edge with a pencil and drill a
1" hole in the center of the template outline. Next, use a piece of stiff wire (a
coat hanger works well), bend it 7" from the end at a 90 degree angle. Insert
the bent part of the coat hanger into the 1" hole and rotate the wire in a
complete circle to check for obstructions. If the wire hits a stud on either side,
reposition your template to the left or right and mark the outline again. Keep
the pilot hole within the template outline.
If the wall is made of drywall, simply cut the marked area with your utility
knife or drywall saw. If the wall is made of plaster, you should use a saw with
a higher tooth count to reduce the chance of breaking the plaster. Test fit the
speaker in the hole, the speaker should fit loosely and the speaker frame
should cover the edges of the hole. Repeat these steps for the other speaker.
5)
Speaker Cable
Don't compromise sound quality by using thin, inexpensive speaker wire, we
recommend using a high quality oxygen free copper speaker cable. For runs
less than 50 feet we recommend 16 gauge cable, for longer runs we recom-
mend 14 gauge or larger cable. Most municipalities require the use of CL2 rated
speaker cable for installation in walls and ceilings. Leave enough speaker cable so you can
stand comfortably on the floor or ladder while connecting the speaker cable to the speakers.
6)
Speaker Connection
Remove about 8" of the cable jacket to expose the inner conductors. Strip 1/4" of insulation
from each conductor and connect to the speaker terminals. When connecting the wires to the
speakers, be sure to observe proper polarity. Most CL2 rated speaker cable will have red and
black conductors so you will connect the red wire to the red speaker terminal and the black
wire to the black speaker terminal.
7)
Final Installation
To install the speakers into the wall, remove the
grills using a small paper clip, this will give you
access to the mounting screws. Turn the mounting
clamps so they are positioned as in the illustra-
tion, this will allow the speakers to clear the hole
for installation. Insert the speaker into the hole, and
tighten the mounting screws. As you turn each
screw, the mounting clamps will rotate outward to
engage wall material.
CAUTION: Do Not Over-Tighten the Clamps.
Too much torque may snap off the lug and the speaker will not seat securely. A
snug fit is all that is necessary to assure proper performance.
The Dayton Audio Micro-Edge In-Wall speakers feature pivoting tweeters. Adjust the tweeters
so they point in toward the listening area. Properly adjusting the direction of the tweeters
greatly improve the stereo imaging of the speakers.
8)
Painting Speakers
If you choose to paint the speaker grill and/or frame we have provided a "Paint Masking Tem-
plate" to cover the woofer/tweeter assembly and help prevent possible damage. Do not try to
paint the frame and grill assembly together, the grill should always be painted separately.
Do not apply heavy coats of paint that might block the perforations in the grill.
9)
Troubleshooting
Should your speakers not work properly, check the following:
No sound from speakers:
Most stereo receivers have an A/B speaker selector switch. Make certain that
●
this switch is in the proper position.
Mute feature is activated.
