Painting the Speaker

Tighten all six of the mounting screws in the same

manner until the speaker is properly aligned and held tight to the wall surface. Caution: Do not over tighten!

Painting the Speaker

Two paint shields are included in each AS6s speaker package. Place the paint shield inside the frame to protect the speakers. You can now safely paint the speakers frame to match your wall surface if you desire.

When painting the grill caution should be taken to ensure that paint does not clog or congest the perforated openings in the grill. This would prevent proper operation of the grill by restricting the airflow from the individual drivers in the speaker.

Aiming the Tweeter

Use you fingertips, placed carefully at the plastic edges of the tweeter housing.

Recommended Speaker Wire Gauges

The resistance of the speaker wire in your installation can cause your speakers to perform at less than their optimum quality level. Excess resistance caused by using an undersized speaker wire can result in loss of detail and definition in the bass region of your audio program, as well as, a loss of dynamic range. Over extremely long wire runs you may even experience a loss of high frequency amplitude in the audio signal.

To prevent this effect in your installation we have recom- mended speaker wire gauges that should not exceed

0.5ohms resistance over the recommended length of wire run.

For the AS6s speakers we suggest the following minimum speaker wire gauge be used:

50’ or less - 16 Gauge 2-Cond. CL3 50’ - 150’ - 12 Gauge 2-Cond. CL3 150’ - 200’ - 10 Gauge 2-Cond. CL3

Using gentle pressure swivel the tweeter to aim the axis of the tweeter toward the listening area. You can use a piece of music with a solid center imaged vocalist to assist in correctly aiming the tweeter. When the tweeters are properly aligned for the listening area you will hear a coherent and stable center image from your listening position. Usually, it is sufficient to aim the tweeter only as it handles the frequencies that control the direction of individual sounds in your audio program material.

Removing the AS6s Speaker

Should it ever become necessary to remove the AS6s speaker from the wall, simply remove the grill and turn the six mounting screws counter-clockwise until the doglegs lock out of position in their resting flange. The speaker should easily come out of the wall for service or replacement.
