Instruction Manual

 

Installing the Speaker Assembly

Speaker Connection

The clamping mechanism allows the wall material to range from ½" to 1½" (13 to 38 mm) in thickness. There must be a minimum depth behind the wall face of 358” (92 mm).As noted above, be sure to keep the top and bot-

tom of the cutout at least 1½"

(38mm) away from obstruc-

tions, as the rotating clamps

will not operate properly if

you don’t.

Insert the speaker into the cutout and using a level or square carefully align it so it is level.Tighten the mounting

screws, which will cause the attached clamps to rotate and position them- selves properly behind the wall.

Continue to tighten until the speaker is snug in the wall.You want the bezel to conform to the wallboard,and the frame not to rattle from the speaker’s vibration, but be very careful not to overtighten the screws.

It is strongly recommended that you hand-tighten the mounting screws the final few turns (after using an electric screwdriver set to "low torque") to avoid the possibility of damaging the frame.

Painting the Speaker Assembly

The white plastic frame and the metal grille may be left as is, or painted to match your décor. To paint the frame, place the included Paint Shield over the drivers, then carefully spray paint with a plastic-compatible paint. To paint the grille, first remove it from the speaker, then spray using a slightly thinned paint or with two very light coats.

Strip about ½" (13 mm) 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).

Atlantic Technology has long been recognized for its innovative audio solutions, and two standout offerings in their lineup are the IWTS-14 SR and IWTS-30 SR in-wall speakers. Designed for high-performance sound and seamless integration into home environments, these speakers provide a compelling option for audio enthusiasts and home theater enthusiasts alike.

The IWTS-14 SR is a two-way in-wall speaker that features a 1-inch soft dome tweeter and a 4.5-inch carbon-composite midrange driver. This configuration delivers a balanced sound profile, ensuring that vocals, instruments, and sound effects are reproduced with clarity and precision. The speaker is designed to handle a wide frequency range, making it suitable for various listening scenarios, from movies to music.

The speakers are also equipped with Atlantic Technology's proprietary technologies, such as the "Waveguide" tweeter technology, which further improves dispersion and detail in high-frequency response.

Both models are engineered with installation flexibility in mind. Their low-profile design allows for easy integration into any room, and the paintable grilles ensure they can seamlessly blend with any decor.
