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 mount- ing 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 -). Either channel may be attached to either terminal set, however, be sure that polarity (+ and -) is correct on each channel or the performance of the speaker will be seriously affected, as one channel will cancel out the other. (See Diagram 2)

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

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 4).

PAINTING THE SPEAKER

If you plan to paint your speaker, we recommend that it be done prior to installation. If you plan to paint your speaker sometime in the future, it is best to remove it by simply reversing the steps for “Speaker Installation” listed above. If it is necessary to paint the speaker while it is still in the ceiling, the paint mask provided in the carton must be installed in place of the grille while the flange is being painted with the ceiling. The grille can also be painted, however, great care should be taken not to clog the holes as this will greatly reduce the sound quality of the speaker. SpeakerCraft recommends only light spray painting using 5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint. Do not paint the grille while it is attached to the speaker.
