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, and for longer runs we

recommend 14 gauge or larger cable. For installations with

in-room stereo volume controls we recommend using a four

conductor speaker wire from receiver to volume controls. 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.

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.

For high impedance (70 V) applications attach the positive lead

from the receiver to the wattage lead on 70 V transformer to be

used (i.e. 2.5W) and the negative lead from the receiver to the

to the common ground lead (C) on 70 V transformer. For low

impedance (8 ohm) applications connect the positive lead from

the receiver to the RED positive terminal on the speaker and the

negative lead from the receiver to the BLACK negative terminal

on the speaker. Note: To avoid damage to the speaker, be sure to

switch off the ampliﬁer power when changing the input.

Final Installation

To install the speakers into the ceiling, remove the grills,

this will give you access to the mounting screws. Turn the

mounting clamps so they are positioned as in the illustration,

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 ceiling 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.

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.

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.

One speaker is playing while the other is not:

Check the balance control on the receiver. Make sure it is centered.

Loose connection at either the receiver or the speaker. Double check connections.

Bad speaker cable. Replace suspect speaker cable.
