Rectangular In-WallLoudspeakers INSTALLATION

Congratulations! You have purchased a high quality stereo loudspeaker. When matched to comparable electronic equipment, expect years of quality high fidelity sound. We are constantly striving to provide the very best technology has to offer.

The following manual is designed to give you, the installer or owner, basic information as to the speaker’s installation and operation. It is beyond the scope of this manual to go into all the details that must be taken into consideration in a sophisticated high fidelity system.

If you have any questions regarding this speaker which are not answered by this manual, contact your local dealer for assistance. For the most current information please visit www.oemsystems.com.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

These two-way speakers have specially designed woofers with linear long throw butyl rubber surrounds for long life and superior damping. Dome tweeters are utilized for excellent high frequency dispersion throughout your entire listening environment. Two piece baffle/frame assemblies allow for custom painting of the frames and grilles without the need to mask the speakers.

SHIPPING DAMAGE

Each speaker is thoroughly tested before it leaves the factory. However, in shipment, accidents may occur. Please inspect your speakers carefully when you receive them to make sure there is no damage. If there is, please notify your dealer, or supplier immediately for assistance. If you received your speakers by public transportation, report the damage at once to the shipping company.

AMPLIFIER OPERATION

These speakers will perform well with amplifiers from 5 to 125 Watts RMS. However, damage to the speakers can be done by amplifiers of nearly any power rating if the amplifier is overdriven into clipping. “Amplifier clipping” is a phrase used to describe a condition when, because of the volume demand, an amplifier is being asked for more power than it can give. Clipping causes distortion of the audio signal. If you should hear an unusual amount of distortion at high listening levels then consider reducing the volume.

DAMAGE DONE TO A SPEAKER BY CLIPPING IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Placement of Wall Mounted Speakers should be carefully considered. Ideally, the speakers should be located where they will provide the best possible sound and ease of installation. It is beyond the scope of this publication to discuss all of the various aspects of speaker placement. Please contact a professional for assistance if you are uncomfortable with the planning or installation process.

Note: Though these speakers are referred to as “wall mount,” they are also suitable for installations in ceilings and custom cabinetry.

WIRING

To achieve maximum performance from your new speakers we strongly suggest the use of good quality stereo cable. There are many good brands available. We recommend that the cable be at least 16 gauge or larger for runs of over 50 feet and that the wire be double insulated. This is often referred to as “jacketed” speaker cable. “Zip cord,” which is single insulated and is often made with clear insulation, should be avoided as it is not as durable. It is important when installing the wiring and speakers that you adhere to all local codes and regulations. We suggest that a professional be consulted in order to maximize your system’s performance. The following, however, are some useful suggestions.

Try to keep the wire length to a minimum. However, allow about 2½ feet of free wire at the speaker cut- out and sufficient length at the electronics to aid in the ease of installation. Adding extra wire later is tedious and time consuming.

Avoid bundling speaker cables parallel to electrical cables for extended lengths. Though the impedance is low and the likelihood of interference low, this
