Step 7. Speaker performance can be enhanced by insulating the wall or ceiling cavity with fiberglass insula- tion. When insulating speakers, it is best to use a sheet of unfaced fiber- glass insulation behind and around the sides of the speaker.

Step 8. Connect the positive (“+”) wires from both amplifier channels to the speaker’s red terminals. Connect the negative (“–”) wires from both amplifier channels to the speaker’s black terminals.

• The speaker’s connector posts are spring-loaded. Push the top of

each connector post down to open the connector and insert the exposed wires into the holes in the posts.

IMPORTANT: Be sure not to let any stray ‘+’ and ‘–’ wires touch each other. Touching wires can cause a short-circuit that could damage your amplifier.

•Double-check that you connected amplifier “+” to speaker “+” and amplifier “–” to speaker “–”.

Step 9. Make sure all the RotoLock clamps are in the full clockwise position so that they are tucked within the mounting hole’s border. Insert the speaker into the mounting hole.

Step 10. Tighten the four screws on the front of the speaker baffle evenly until the speaker is seated snugly and evenly against the wall or ceiling.

IMPORTANT: If you are using a drill or electric screwdriver to tighten the screws be sure use the lowest torque setting.

Step 11. Install the grilles by placing them into the speaker baffles. Powerful magnets on the grilles and on the speaker baffles will hold the grilles firmly on the speakers.

PAINTING THE
GRILLES
Moderno grilles may be painted to color-
match their surroundings.
1. Remove the grilles from the speakers.	Step 11

2.Remove the scrim cloth that is attached

to the backs of the grilles. (The adhesive that holds the cloth in place is reusable.)

3.Paint the grilles with very thin paint (5 parts thinner to 1 part paint), being careful not to plug the holes.

4.When the paint has fully dried, re-attach the scrim cloths to the backs of the grilles.

5.Re-install the grilles on the speakers.

ADJUSTMENTS

Tweeter Level Control

The Moderno M6R SST speaker
has a tweeter		level	control	Tweeter Level
switch that lets you boost or cut
				Control
the tweeter level by 3dB. This
allows you to adjust the
speaker’s	brightness to		better
match your listening room or
personal taste.
Once you have installed the
speakers, listen to a variety of
music that you are familiar with.
If the music all tends to sound
too bright or dull, use the
Tweeter	Level	Control to

compensate. If some recordings sound dull and some sound bright the speaker is accurately reproducing differences in the recordings, and you should leave the control in the middle (0dB) position.
