Follow These Easy Steps | Polk Audio TC265I, TC80I, TC65I, TC60I

FOLLOW THESE EASY STEPS:

•Make sure the material into which you plan to mount the speakers (plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support the weight of the speak- ers (see specification page for the weight of your model).

•Make sure the locations you select do not con- ceal studs, electrical wiring or plumbing. Prior to installation, hold the speaker in your chosen location to make sure it safely clears obstacles such as studs, corners, beams, lighting fixtures and door/window frames. Your cutout must be at least 1" (25mm) from adjoining walls or ceil- ing, internal studs or plumbing.

•Using the template, trace the installation loca- tion with a pencil. You can do this by holding the template in your preferred location and tracing around it. Use a level to make certain the tem- plate is straight and plumb. This is the exact cutout size.[figures 9a & 9b].

•Carefully cut the hole with the appropriate cut- ting tool for your wall or ceiling material. Start the hole by drilling a hole on the inside of the tracing (with the drill bit touching the line). Use this hole to insert the saw or knife and begin cut- ting [figure 10].

•Once you have cut the hole, fish your previously positioned wiring out of the hole and connect the speaker. Follow the hookup directions incl- ued with your receiver. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors of the wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the conductors into a single unfrayed strand (so you have two unfrayed strands). Note that one of the terminals on the rear of each speaker is red (+) and the other is black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red terminal (+) of your amplifier or receiver to the red terminal (+) on your speaker and the wire from the black terminal (-) of your amp- lifier or receiver to the black terminal (-) on your speaker. Most wire has some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you main- tain consistency [figure 11].

SUIVEZ CES SIMPLES ETAPES:

•Assurez-vous que le matériau dans lequel vous comptez installer vos haut-parleurs (plâtre, pla- coplâtre, lambris, pierre, etc.) peut supporter le poids des haut-parleurs (voir la fiche technique pour le poids du modèle de vos haut-parleurs).

•Assurez-vous que l’endroit choisi pour l'installa- tion murale ne dissimule pas de montants ou de solives, de fils électriques ou de plomberie. Avant son installation, tenez le haut-parleur à l’endroit choisi pour vous assurer qu’il sera suffisamment dégagé du plafond, des murs, des coins, des poutres, des luminaires et des cadres de portes et de fenêtres. L’embrasure doit être à au moins 25 mm (1 pouce) du mur ou du plafond adjacent, d’un montant ou d’une solive, ou de plomberie.

•À l’aide du gabarit, tracez l’endroit de l’installa- tion avec un crayon. Vous pouvez accomplir cette besogne en tenant le gabarit à l’endroit choisi et en traçant tout autour. Utilisez un niveau pour vous assurer que le gabarit est bien droit et de niveau. C’est la taille exacte de l’embrasure. [figure 9a et 9b].

•Pratiquez soigneusement l’embrasure avec l’outil approprié au matériau de votre mur ou plafond. Commencez en faisant un trou à l’intérieur du traçage (la mèche touchant le traçage). Utilisez ce trou pour insérer la scie ou le couteau et commencer la coupe [figure 10].

•Une fois l’embrasure pratiquée, sortez-en le câble antérieurement installé et connectez-le au haut- parleur. Suivez les instructions de connexion fou- rnies avec votre récepteur. Retirez 12 mm (1/2 po) d’isolation de chacun des deux conducteurs pour exposer les brins métalliques et tordez les brins de chaque conducteur pour former deux torons non éraillés. Notez qu’une des bornes à l’arrière de chaque haut-parleur est rouge (+) et l’autre noire (-). Assurez-vous de bien raccorder le fil provenant de la borne rouge (+) de votre ampli- ficateur/récepteur à la borne rouge (+) de votre haut-parleur et le fil noir (-) provenant de la borne noire (-) de votre amplificateur/récepteur à la borne noire (-) de votre haut-parleur. La polar- ité de la plupart des fils à deux conducteurs est codée (couleur, nervure ou écriture) pour faciliter son identification [figure 11].
