stranded cable so the wires are tight.

Step 10. Follow the instructions included with the volume control and amplifier.

Step 11. You are now ready to install the speaker. Remove the paint mask from the baffle.

Be careful not to touch the speaker cones and tweeter when removing the paint mask in order to prevent any damage. Attach the speaker cable to the speaker by pressing down on the red (+) or black (-)gold-plated push terminals and inserting the red wire in the red terminal and the black wire in the black terminal. See Figure 3 on page 8. Make sure that none of the strands from the black and red wires are touching each other. This can create a short circuit that can damage your electronics. Index the mounting tabs to make sure that all tabs will clear the opening. Insert the speaker in the ceiling and tighten the tabs with the screws on the front of the grille. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS, the screws should only be tight enough to secure the speaker.

Step 12. After the speaker is mounted, adjustments to the swivel tweeter (small speaker) can be made by either directing the sound visually or by using a musical source to determine the best sound coverage for the listening area. To position the tweeter, press at the outside edge of the tweeter housing (DO

NOT PRESS ON THE TWEETER CONE DIRECTLY).

Note the crease in the asymmetrical tweeter provides the highest directional response in this direction. See figure 4 on page 9.

TIPS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION

•If possible, run speaker wires after AC wiring is in place to avoid additional noise caused by close proximity of wiring.

•Secure the speaker wires against a joist with insulated staples, being careful not to pierce the wire insulation. Allow slack for building material expansion.

•Horizontal wire runs should be routed through holes drilled at equal heights in the joist.

•Do not install the actual speaker until the wall board is in place. Until then leave several feet of wire secured to the back of the mounting ring. The excess wire can be removed during final installation.

•During the drywall installation, make sure the speaker cut-out hole does not extend farther than 1/4 inch from the inside of the mounting ring. The flat rough-in rings and flaps are thin enough that they won’t interfere with wall board installation.
