INSTALLING THE SPEAKERS

Step 1

Remove the paint plug from the speaker. Attach the wire from your amplifier to the terminals on the back of the speaker. Double check the polarity of the speaker wires, amplifier + to speaker + and amplifier - to speaker -. Proper polarity is critical in home theater installations.

Step 2

To install the Ellipse LCR, insert one side of the Flexbar clamps through the hole in the drywall. Once the feet are through the hole, insert the other side of the Flexbars into the cutout.

Note: The maximum clamp thickness is 1-1/4" (32mm)

Step 3

Tighten the four screws on the front of the baffle. The Flexbars will automatically begin clamping the speaker. When you notice resistance on the four screws, the speaker has been clamped successfully.

The flange is designed to flex and conform to any small imperfections in the wall surface. The screws should not be tightened so far that the flange bows out.

Step 4

After the four Flexbar screws are tightened the grille can be installed. Insert about half of the grille into the groove at the edge of the speaker. Gently fit the remaining half of the grill into the speaker by working your hands around the speaker fitting the grille into the groove as you go along.

Note: The torque applied to the mounting screws can be adjusted for proper grille fit.

PAINTING THE SPEAKERS AND GRILLES

Speakers and grilles can be painted before installation, which will eliminate the "paint scar" if the speaker needs to be removed for service. Speakers may also be painted after installation, but before the grilles are attached. All speakers come from the factory fitted with a plastic "paint plug." Use the paint plug to protect the drivers while the flange is being painted with the ceiling.

Sonance suggests always painting the grilles separate from the speaker. The grilles may be lightly sprayed with thin paint (5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint), but be careful not to plug the holes. Too much paint will adversely affect the sound of the speaker.

Once the grilles and flange are painted and dry, remove the paint plug from the flange and install the grilles.

ADJUSTING YOUR SPEAKERS

The Sonic Eye

The unique sealed pivoting enclosure can direct sound toward or away from the listening area. To pivot the Sonic Eye, apply light pressure to the tweeter ring and the outside edge of the midrange. Do not apply pressure to the midrange cone or the tweeter dome. If you have any questions about how the Sonic Eye should be adjusted, consult your authorized Sonance dealer.

Here are some suggestions:

Orient the Sonic Eye toward the listening area if the speakers are widely separated and the music fails to blend into a central image when the system is operated in stereo.

When using the Ellipse LCR in a home theater, point the Sonic Eye on all three speakers towards the listening position for more accurate sound.
