Painting the Speaker Assembly

The white plastic frame of the speaker baffle assembly and the metal grille may be left as is, or painted to match your décor. You can paint the frame before or after it is installed in the wall. Spray painting (using slightly thinned paint) is the best method to use for painting the grille. After painting the grille, use air pressure to “blow out” any grille holes that are covered over with paint.

Speaker Connection and Assembly

Strip about 1/2" of insulation from the connecting wires. Connect them to the appropriate push terminal, being careful to observe polarity (positive to the red terminal, negative to the black terminal). Install the speaker baffle as- sembly into the previously mounted frame assembly, being careful to ensure that the speaker wire isn’t pressed up against the back of a speaker cone, and screw it into place using the supplied screws. Again, be careful not to over- tighten the screws. Insert the grille into the frame as outlined above, being careful not to damage the frame or the grille’s finish.

High Frequency Level Control

There is a switch located behind the grille on the front of the speaker. This switch is accessible by removing the grille as outlined above. You can change the switch setting with your fingernail or a small pointed object, such as a ball point pen. The switch has three settings that adjust the high frequency output from the speaker. We strongly recommend that you try all three settings, using both music and movies (if the System 5 LCR is part of a home theater system). Please note that recordings vary in their sound balance so try several differ- ent discs. Try to achieve the best balance of natural overall sound with good detail and clarity. The switch settings are “Normal” in the lower position, “-2dB” in the middle position, and “+2dB” in the upper position. To aim the tweeter, press gently on the plastic ring that surrounds the dome, but not the dome itself. Aim the tweeter at the prime listening position when the LCR is used as a front speaker, and away from the listening position if it’s used as a surround.

There’s a “knockout” plug in the front baffle. You can identify it by locating the Atlantic Technology wave logo which is molded into it. If you are using a multi-room control system, you can install a standard IR receiver in the knockout hole.
