Speaker Layout

The layout of the speakers should be planned before installation begins. Layout starts in one corner of the room. The first speaker should be positioned from each wall a distance approximately equal to the ceiling height of the room.

The next speaker in row 1 should be spaced a distance approxi- mately equal to twice the height of the ceiling. Each additional speak- er in the row should use this same spacing.

Row 2 starts at twice the ceiling height distance from row 1 and twice the ceiling height from the wall.The other speakers in this row are also spaced at twice the ceiling height.

Row 3 is again spaced at twice the ceiling height from the previous row. The first speaker starting this row is positioned at one ceiling height distance from the wall (similar to row 1).

Continue this pattern of alternating rows until the room is covered.

Because of the wide sound dispersion characteristic of the ASM1, exact placement is not critical. The spacing of the speakers can be adjusted so that the speakers are evenly spaced in a row.

Speaker Installation

STEP 1 - Position the speaker on the ceiling tile and slowly push the speaker, forcing the studs through the ceiling tile.

STEP 2 - Clean any loose debris or conductive foil from around the studs. Spin the wide-based wing nuts (supplied) down the threaded studs. Tighten the wing nuts until they are very snug (finger tighten only - no tools required). Check that the speaker is drawn tight to the ceiling tile. Fiberglass sleeves (supplied) should be placed over the studs at this point to insulate the exposed portion of the studs as a safety precaution.

STEP 3 - The electrical connections are made to the studs with the wire nuts (supplied).The studs are color-coded to indicate polarity.

Amplifier connections are:

Threaded COPPER stud – Audio Signal (+)

Threaded NICKEL stud – Audio Signal (-)

Smooth COPPER stud – 24V DC (+)

Smooth NICKEL stud – 24V DC (-)

Nylon wire ties (supplied) can be used to secure the speaker wires to the studs if desired. (Nylon wire ties should wrap around the fiber- glass sleeve.)
