System Installation Considerations

There are several factors to consider before installing Earthquake Sound's

Edgeless IQ In-Ceiling Speakers.

• What are the intended listening zones?

• What system options and accessories might be required for features such

as local sources, etc.?

• From where in each zone will the listener prefer to control the system? Where

will the remote gains be located? Where will the speakers be located?

• Where will the source equipment be located?

• Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent humming from

induced noise.

• Choose reliable signal cable cords (Earthquake Sound also specializes in

high-performance RCA cables and patches).

• All speaker wires that are ran through the walls should be twisted to reduce

potential hum noise pick up.

• Label both ends of all wires with the corresponding room location.

• It is best to use a grounded electrical outlet to power the amplifier. Lack of

input ground reference could be unsafe. Consult your electrical contractor

about proper grounding.

Painting Guidelines

The IQ In-Ceiling Speaker grilles are paintable and can accept virtually any

type of paint. We strongly recommend the following:

Remove the grilles from the speakers prior to painting them.

Thin the paint prior to application, if needed. Spray and roller paint

applications typically provide the best results. Note that you may need

to apply multiple thin layers of paint to achieve the desired shade without

losing sound quality due to clogging of the grilles.

Let the painted grilles fully dry before mounting them back on the

speakers.
