AudioSource AudioSource In-Ceiling Speaker System Painting the Speaker, AC6CD Operation

Tighten all four 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

A paint shields is included in each AC6CD speaker package. Place the paint shield inside the frame to protect the speaker. You can now safely paint the speaker’s 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.

AC6CD Operation

The AC6CD speaker is designed for use where the user desires to have sound available in an area but does not need stereo imaging. This may be because of limited space, such as a bathroom or dressing area, or a long hallway where even distribution of sound is desired but stereo imaging is impractical.

The AC6CD uses a dual voice coil woofer and dual tweet- ers. The speaker has separate terminals to allow each channel of a stereo amplifier to be connected to the one speaker.

The AC6CD can also be operated by a single channel from an amplifier and used just like any conventional in-ceiling or in-wall speaker. In this configuration you should wire the speaker terminals in parallel (fig. 4).

Removing the AC6CD Speaker

Should it ever become necessary to remove the AC6CD speaker from the ceiling, simply remove the grill and turn the four mounting screws counter-clockwise until you feel the doglegs lock out of position in their resting flange. The speaker should easily come out of the wall for service or replacement.

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 recommended speaker wire gauges that should not exceed 0.5 ohms resistance over the recommended length of wire run.

For the AC6CD speakers we suggest the following minimum speaker wire gauge be used:

50’ or less - 16 Gauge 4-Cond. CL3 50’ - 150’ - 12 Gauge 4-Cond. CL3 150’ - 200’ - 10 Gauge 4-Cond. CL3
