NEW CONSTRUCTION
If you wish to preinstall a rough-in frame before the drywall is installed, you will need to purchase the correct rough-in-frame kit for your model:
Speaker Model | Rough-In-Frame Kit |
L226W, LS326W | RIF 6 |
L226C, LS326C | RIF 6CS |
L228C, LS328C | RIF 8C |
Detailed installation instructions are supplied with the rough-in kit.
PAINTING THE SPEAKER FRAME AND GRILLE
Studio L in-wall and in-ceiling loudspeakers can be painted to match any décor. If you wish to change their color, the satin finish on the grille and frame will function as a primer coat. Before painting, install the paint shield (inner section of template in the assembly kit) securely into the recess in the baffle. This will protect the speaker components and baffle from paint residue. Use a high-quality spray paint, and apply a thin coat of color. Be certain the grille perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with paint will diminish the sound quality.
NOTE: Gently remove the acoustical foam blanket from the grille before paint- ing. Reattach the blanket after the paint has dried.
OPERATION
SURROUND MODES
When using the system in a Dolby® Digital or DTS® home theater system, make sure all speakers are set to “Small.” When using the Studio L in-wall and in-ceiling speakers in a Dolby Pro Logic® home theater system, make sure the receiver’s center channel mode is set to “Normal.”
Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer different setup options for each source or surround mode: e.g., CD-stereo, videotape, Dolby or Pro Logic. In each case, follow your equipment’s instructions to ensure that the subwoofer (if you have one) output is turned on and that the speakers are set to “Small” in each mode.
