Installation

SONANCE MERLOT® M

Sonance Merlot M speakers feature exclusive FastMount® tabs and an integral RotoLock® mounting system for quick mounting directly into walls.

CAUTION: THE EDGES OF THE FASTMOUNT TABS ARE VERY SHARP. USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE SPEAKER.

1.Remove the paint plug from the speaker.

2.Run speaker wire from each speaker to the amplifier location.

3.Strip ¼” – ½” of insulation from each speaker lead. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire with solder to ensure that there are no stray strands. (Stray strands that touch each other can cause a short-circuit that can damage your amplifier.)

4.The speaker’s connector posts are spring-loaded. Push the top of each connector post down to open the connector and insert the exposed wires into the holes in the posts.

•The speaker’s positive post is labeled with a red dot; the negative post is labeled with a black dot. Double-check that you connected amplifier “+” to speaker “+” and amplifier “–” to speaker “–”.

5.Make sure all the RotoLock clamps are in the full clockwise position so that they are tucked within the mounting hole’s border. Insert the speaker into the hole in the wall (Figure 9). The RotoLock system can accommodate a maximum wall material thickness of 1¼”.

•The FastMount tabs will prevent the speaker from falling out of the mounting hole, allowing the installer to let go of the speaker to pick-up tools or other items (Figure 10).

Note: The FastMount tabs are designed for one - time use only . I f t h e s p e a k e r i s re m o v e d f ro m t h e m o u n t i n g h o l e t h e FastMount tabs will disconnect and remain inside the wall .
