• NOTE: It may be necessary to moisten one's fingers to achieve

good traction on the waveguide.

• The detents will not be felt when the waveguide is fully

depressed. Decrease pressure to locate the detents.

LOCkING THE TWEETER INTO PLACE

SPEAkER PLACEMENT

Placement of In-wall speakers should be carefully considered.

Please contact a professional for assistance if you are

uncomfortable with the planning or installation process.

Ideally, the speakers should be located where they will provide

the best possible sound and ease of installation. It is beyond the

scope of this publication to discuss all of the various aspects of

speaker placement but here are some helpful suggestions.

For more bass, place the speakers between 18 and 36 inches

from an adjacent wall as measured to the center of the speaker.

Avoid placing the speakers less then 18 inches from an adjacent

wall. When placing speakers near a corner, avoid locating them an

equal distance from the two adjacent srfaces.

When used in a home theater the front left and right speakers

should be separated from each other a distance of 0.8 to 1.2

times the seating distance (assuming they are on the same

plane as the center speaker). For example, if the seating position

is 10 feet from the viewing screen and/or center speaker then

ideally the distance between the left and right speakers should

be somewhere between 8 and 12 feet, (10 x 1.2ft = 12ft). If the

speakers are located behind an acoustically transparent screen

then all the speakers should be oriented portrait style. The

Rev. A

tweeter should be aimed toward the listening area.

Optional Security Hole

Two holes have been

provided to lock the

tweeter into place and

prevent rotation.

Should it be desirable to

lock the tweeter, install

two #6x3/8" (3.5mm

X 10mm) sheet metal

screws with flat washers

in the provided holes.

(Hardware not included)

WIRING

To achieve maximum performance we recommend that the

speaker cable be at least 16 gauge or larger for runs over 50 feet

(15m) and that the cable be double insulated. A CL-2 or CL-3 rated

cable may be required. Check local codes. "Zip cord," which is

single insulated and is often made with clear insulation, should be

avoided as it is not as durable. Allow about 2½ feet (0.8m) of free

cable at the speaker cut-out and sufficient length at the other end

to reach the electronics. Having to add extra cable later can be

tedious and time consuming.

Avoid bundling speaker cables parallel to electrical cables for

extended lengths. Though the impedance is low and the likelihood

of interference low, this may help reduce hum and RF interference.

When securing the cable, use care not to staple or nail through the

electrical conductors. Doing so could result in a short that might

damage the electronics.

When connecting your speakers, make sure proper polarity

(phasing) is maintained. Simply put, this means ensuring the

same wire which is connected to the positive terminal of the

amplifier has its other end connected to the positive terminal of

the speaker. It is important to check this on all speakers. If the

connections on one of the speakers are reversed, (out of phase)

the sound quality will be impaired.

INSTALLATION

If the drywall has not yet been installed a Rough-in-Bracket (RIB-

LCR) may be used to reserve the speaker location on the wall.

The RIB-LCR brackets are available from the distributor or dealer

where the speakers were purchased. When these brackets are

used the holes are cut when the drywall is installed. The cable can

be tied off on the bracket after securing the cable to a nearby joist.

If the drywall is installed and the speaker locations have not yet

been established, then do so now. Assess the wall for possible

concealed obstructions such as wiring, plumbing, etc. Inspect the

backside of the wall, the attic, and/or the crawl space if available

for clues to possible obstructions. Use inspection holes with

inspection tools (camera, mirror, flashlight, etc.) if absolutely

necessary. Use a "stud finder" to locate the positions of the studs.

The

SE-W602LCRSf

is shipped with a Clamp Ring for clamping

the speaker to the wall. The edge of the speaker opening must

be at least 1/2" (13mm) away from a stud if the speaker is

installed in the portrait orientation.

Once the speaker locations are established use the cardboard

template (the outside of the inner cardboard rectangle) to mark

the speaker cut-out. The dimensions for the cut-out are listed

in the chart on the previous page. Using the proper tool, cut the

appropriate sized hole in the wall. On drywall, clean cuts can be

made with a drywall saw.

If the cable has not yet been run, do so now that you have access

to the wall's interior.

To aid in speaker performance, a fibrous material, such as

fiberglass, may be placed behind the speaker. This may also help

to reduce unwanted sound from being transmitted into adjoining

rooms. If the wall space has blown or loose insulation, care must

be taken to prevent the loose insulation from entering the back

of the speaker. This can be accomplished by placing a batt of

fiberglass insulation over the back of the speaker.

Rev. A

Install the frame and retro ring assembly

by passing the metal retro ring through

the cut-out as illustrated in figures 1

& 2 to the right. The frame should fit

cleanly, without interference, in the cut-

out hole. If the hole is a little small then

trim the hole as needed. Lightly tighten

the screws to secure the retro ring

against the back of the wall (see fig. 3).

Use care not to over-tighten the screws

or the frame may become distorted.

Note: use only the 4 outer holes for

mounting the frame.

Pull the end of the cable out of the wall,

strip back a section of the jacket as

needed, and then expose ½" (13mm) of

each conductor. Connect the wire to the

terminals on the back of the speaker

assembly, observing polarity (+ & -).

Insert the speaker into the frame and

install the eight screws

(see fig. 4).

The Mid-Frequency (MF) control

allows for a relaxed, neutral, or forward

midrange presence.

The High-Frequency (HF) control

affects the uppermost audible range

to create soft, neutral, or articulate

detail.

PAINTING THE GRILLE

The grilles can be painted using

multiple light coats of spray paint.

Custom color spray paints are

available from specialty companies.

Contact your dealer for more

information. The grilles should be

removed from the speaker and painted

in a clean environment to prevent

contamination. It is best to go around

the grilles and apply the paint from

multiple angles. DO NOT remove the

scrim cloth from the backside of the

grille. It is not replaceable.

Attach the grilles to the speakers and

enjoy. Should you wish to remove the

grilles from the speakers pull at the

grilles' edge. Initially there will be

significant resistance because the

grilles are magnetically attached.
