HOW – FINAL ASSEMBLY OF SPEAKERS

Up to this point in the installation process you have located and cut the hole, mounted the speaker frame, run the wires, and connected them to the speaker baffle and to the amplifier/receiver. Now you will mount the speaker into the frame and attach the grille.

We recommend protecting the back of any ceiling speaker from insulation and debris by draping a piece of standard fiberglass window screening over the back of the assem- bly. Screening is available at most home centers or hard- ware stores. Cut a piece larger than the speaker assem- bly and drape it over the bezel, up inside the ceiling, before you install the baffle assembly.

The Twist & Tilt speaker series can be installed to pro- vide uniform dispersion (zero degree tilt) or focused dis- persion (15 degree tilt). The baffle installation will differ slightly for each application.

FOR FOCUSED DISPERSION:

If the speaker is being installed with the 15 degree tilt, the small arrow molded into the frame should be point- ing in the direction of the tilt. The speaker baffle is marked with a “0” for uniform dispersion and a “15” for focused dispersion.

1.Align the “15” with the arrow on the frame. Grasp the speaker baffle at the tweeter bridge, being careful not to come in contact with the tweeter itself.

2.Line up the tabs by sighting through the molded cut- outs in the baffle. Insert the tabs into the tab openings and firmly push the baffle up into the frame slots.

3.Twist the baffle clockwise until it locks into the slots.

4.Secure the baffle to the frame with the small #1 Phillips earthquake screw. The hole for the screw is located at the “lock” icon on the baffle edge. This ensures the baffle and frame will not separate. Do not overtighten the earthquake screw.

5.Insert the speaker grille by placing it over the speaker baffle and aligning its edges in the frame. Press gently into place, taking care not to scratch the frame finish or bend the grille.

FOR UNIFORM DISPERSION:

If the speaker is being installed with no tilt, the arrow of the frame can be pointing in any direction. The speaker baffle is marked with a “0” for uniform dispersion and a “15” for focused dispersion.

1.Align the “0” with the arrow on the frame. Grasp the speaker baffle at the tweeter bridge, being careful not to come in contact with the tweeter itself.

2.Line up the tabs by sighting through the molded cut- outs in the baffle. Insert the tabs into the tab openings and firmly push the baffle up into the frame slots.

5.Insert the speaker grille by placing it over the speaker baffle and aligning its edges in the frame. Press gently into place, taking care not to scratch the frame finish or bend the grille.

HOW - TESTING SPEAKER POLARITY AND CHANNEL CONNECTIONS

Before you put away all of your tools, it’s a good idea to test the speaker polarity and channel connections. It is helpful if you’ve labeled your wires to identify the left and right speakers.
