5.Add insulation. If the area in the ceiling is not already insulated, add an adequate amount insulation material to loosely cover the back of the speaker. If the insulation material used is faced with foil or paper, position the foil or paper away from the speaker.
SPEAKER INSTALLATION
The unique integral four foot mounting system incorporated into your AIM DT speaker allows for a quick installation by following these easy steps.
1.Remove the grille. It may be necessary to push one or two of the mounting screws, and its attached foot, towards the baffle and against the inside surface of the grille to force the grille out of its retaining groove.
2.Attach the speaker cable (observing the proper polarity with your amplifier, + to + and - to
3.Make sure the mounting feet are turned inward to clear the opening, and insert the speaker into the ceiling. Position the speaker into the hole. Note: The flange of the speaker is designed to flex and conform to any small imperfections in the ceiling’s surface. Tighten the four screws on the front of the baffle only enough to make the flange become snug against the ceiling. As you tighten the screws, the feet will automatically flip into an outward position thereby clamping the drywall between the feet and the flange. (See Diagram 3)
CAUTION: Over tightening may warp the baffle, crack the ceiling, cause the flange to distort, and make the grille difficult to install.
4.Push the grille firmly into the slot in the speaker baffle.
SPEAKER ADJUSTMENT
1.Adjusting the AIM7 DT Mechanism
The woofer can be pivoted to best direct the sound towards the listener. The woofer easily rotates and pivots to almost any position desired. Simply apply pressure with fingertips to the outer surface of the PivotBall and move the speaker to the desired position (See Diagram 4).
2.Adjusting the Pivoting Tweeters
Once the woofer is positioned, further refinement can be made by pointing the tweeter towards the listener. Gently pivot the tweeter to point it in the desired direction (See Diagram 5).
ADJUSTING THE FREQUENCY RESPONSE (AIM7 DT Three)
The output of the woofer and tweeter on the AIM7 DT Three can be adjusted to suit any environment. In general, we recommend leaving all of the adjustments at the flat (0dB) setting. To determine which settings will be appropriate for your speakers, you may need to experiment until the desired sound is achieved. Use the chart to deter- mine the result of the setting you select.
