Important Considerations Before Installation

Recommended Wire Sizes

The longer the wire run, the heavier the wire should be. Use the following recommendations as a guide for your installation. And if you’re in doubt, remember that it never hurts to get the next heavier grade of wire.Also note that lower gauge numbers equal heavier wire sizes.

Wire Run Wire Gauge:

<15 ft. 16 ga.

15 to 30 ft. 14 ga. >30 to 50 ft. 12 ga.

Location Considerations

A major determinant of any speaker’s sound quality is its location in the room. With in-wall speakers there are fewer placement options than with free-standing speakers, so giving some thought to location can really pay off. Our In-Wall Theater Systems have been designed to minimize the det- rimental effects wall mounting can have on sound, so they sound better than conventional in-wall speakers.

Room Acoustics

Hard surfaces create lots of sound reflections in the room while soft surfaces tend to absorb sound. Note the speakers’ location in terms of proximity to glass and other highly sound reflective or absorptive surfaces.A simple set of curtains or an area rug can make a major difference in sound quality and intelligibility by reducing excessive reflections.

For all the following situations,it’s recommended that you first place small box speakers in the proposed locations, just to get a good idea of how that location will sound. In-wall speakers are tough to move once they’re installed!

For all the following placement instructions,it’s important to bear in mind that for aesthetic considerations,many people prefer to mount their in-wall speakers well above seated ear level, as doing so minimizes the speakers’ visual intrusion on the room.

The IWTS-155 LCR uses Atlantic's renowned 1" soft-dome Low Reso- nance Tweeter (LRT™).Because of its low crossover point,this remarkable tweeter allows the IWTS-155 LCR to deliver much wider midrange disper- sion than conventional in-wall speakers for greater placement flexibility, without the severe acoustic and mechanical drawbacks of the so-called "pivoting tweeter."

Stereo Music Listening

For stereo music reproduction, place the speakers at approximately ear level when seated, with both speakers on the same wall facing the prime listening location. A separation of approximately 6 to 8 feet between the left and right speakers is usually good. Ideally, the distance between the two speakers will be close to the same as the distance from the speakers to the listening position.
