CWM7.3 Baffle Insertion

4.7The baffle can now be inserted into the back box. The baffle insertion and attachment technique is slightly different in the case of the CWM7.3 and CWM7.4/5.

In both cases however you should first ensure that the connector on the baffle is oriented correctly with the connector inside the back box.

If the CWM7.3 is to be used in landscape orientation the MF/HF baffle must be removed and rotated 90° so the tweeter is uppermost in the installed speaker. If necessary, this should be done before the baffle is inserted in the back box.

To rotate the MF/HF baffle first remove the four screws holding it in place. Now, with your hand gently over the midrange driver, lean the whole baffle assembly forward slightly so that the MF/HF baffle begins to fall out. Do not let it fall completely but return the baffle to the upright position while holding the MF/HF baffle out of its rebate. Finally withdraw the MF/HF baffle completely, turn it 90°, reseat it in the rebate and replace the four screws. Tighten the screws to a torque of 1.5Nm. The diagram above illustrates removal and rotation of the MF/HF baffle.

With the MF/HF baffle in the correct orientation the baffle assembly can be lifted and inserted in the back box till it is just sub-flush of the back-box flange. Take care to ensure that the electrical connector lines up. The baffle is held in the back box by eight screws. Tighten the screws to a torque of 1.5Nm. The baffle will then be secured in the back box.
