Hooking Up The Wires

The terminals will accommodate up to 16-gauge speaker wire, which should be used for longer connections (greater than 50 feet of wire). For shorter distances, 18 or 20 gauge speaker wire will be adequate. Leave about two feet of extra wire at the speaker end to make installation and positioning of the speaker easier. Do not use staples, nails or other metal objects to secure the speaker wire. The resulting short circuit could affect your system's performance, and could also damage components in your system, especially the amplifier. You will get the best sound quality and least amount of hum by keeping the speaker wires away from other electrical wires and cables.

When connecting your in-wall speaker, it is very important to retain the correct polarity. To do this, be sure that the wire attached to the "+" , red, positive, or hot terminal on the speaker connects to the "+", red, positive or hot terminal on the other component. Similarly, the "-", black, negative or ground terminal on the speaker must connect to the respective "-", black, negative or ground terminal on the other component.

Unlike “regular” in-wall speakers, which can only reproduce either the left or right channel of a stereo signal, the IC7S can reproduce both of the stereo channels at once. Simply connect the speaker wire from the left channel to either of the connectors on the in-wall speaker; then connect the wire from the right channel to the other set of connectors.

Mounting the Speaker

Yes, you will be cutting a hole in the wall. With the right tools and a little extra care and preparation, installing the in-wall speaker can be both quick and easy. Carefully cut out the hole drawn on the paper template at the perforated edge labeled “CUT HERE FOR MOUNTING TEMPLATE”. (Note: The inside circle on the template can be used to shield the woofer while you paint the frame.) Next, position the template (now a ring) where you have chosen to mount the speaker, and trace along the inside edge. Make your cuts along this line. A utility knife will make the cleanest cuts in drywall. A keyhole saw or an electric jigsaw may also be used. Try to keep the cuts neat, however the frame will overlap the hole to hide any rough edges. At this point, with the wall open, run the speaker wires into position, and again, leave about two feet of extra wire at the opening.

Remove the grille from the frame by pressing the quick-turn mounting screws from the back of the speaker into the grille itself. Remove

the thin piece of foam positioned under the grille, which was used to protect the speaker during transport.

Attach the speaker wires to the speaker. With the grille removed, insert the speaker into the mounting hole. Use a phillips head screw- driver to turn the screw slowly clockwise. The quick-turn mounting system and frame will sandwich or clamp around the wall to hold the speaker in place. Do not overtighten. If you are unsure, consult a professional contractor.

Installing The Grille

The metal grille, as well as the frame, may be painted to match any room. If you choose to paint them, do so before attaching the grille to the speaker. The grille is held in place by a friction fit and is difficult to remove once the speaker is installed. If the grille feels a little loose, or you are concerned about a grille falling from a ceiling installation, we have provided a small amount of putty, which you can apply (sparingly) to the inside rim of the speaker before you insert the grille. The putty acts as an additional adhesive between the grille and the frame.
