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
Step 2
Make sure the RotoLock® clamps are in the full clockwise position so that all the clamps are tucked within the cutout border. Insert the speaker into the hole in the ceiling.
Note: The maximum clamp thickness is
Step 3
Tighten the four screws on the front of the baffle. The RotoLock clamps will rotate into position automatically and begin clamping. 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 speaker is installed, and all the adjustments shown to the right are completed, 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.
ADJUSTING YOUR SPEAKERS
Pivoting tweeter
The pivoting tweeter can direct sound toward or away from the listening area. To pivot the tweeter on the C201SQ, apply light pressure to the plastic ring around outside edge of the tweeter. If you have any questions about how the pivoting tweeter should be adjusted, consult your authorized Sonance dealer.
Note: Do not apply pressure to the tweeter dome.
Here are some suggestions:
Orient the pivoting tweeter 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.
If you are using the speakers as rear channels in a home theater you can point the pivoting tweeter towards a wall or window to create a diffuse surround affect.
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.
