Installation procedures
Painting
NOTE: If you are choosing to paint your In-Ceiling loudspeaker, we recommend you do this prior to installation by following
these simple steps:
1.
Remove the membrane scrim from the inside of the grille (do not fit grille to speaker frame).
Place paint mask over the speaker baffle.
2.
3.
4.
Paint both the frame and the grille at the same time and with the same batch of paint (if they are to be the same colour).
When they are both dry, remove the paint mask from the baffle, and place the spare membrane scrim (in the packaging)
into the inside of the grille.
5.
Your product(s) are now ready to install, including fitting the grille. Please refer to step 4 below.
Using Pre-Construction Brackets
If the holes have been pre-cut, simply refer to step 4 onwards (below) for full fitting instructions.
If pre-construction brackets have been used prior to the fixing of plaster board/ sheet rock and the holes have not been cut,
locate the pre-construction brackets and cut around the inside edge of the bracket. Locate the speaker cable, connect to the
sprung terminals and fit the speaker. Refer to the fitting instructions below (step 4 onwards).
To fine-tune the speakers please refer to the high frequency control and boundary compensation details below
Using the Fixing Template
1.
Use template to locate position of cut out. The adhesive backing allows for repositioning a number of times.
Draw around diameter of the template.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Remove template and cut hole.
Locate speaker cable and connect by pushing the terminals in and releasing to clamp the cables.
Fit back box into prepared hole and tighten fixing clamps. These will move outwards automatically upon tightening!
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! Once contact is made 2-3 turns are all that is required.
6.
To fine-tune the speakers please refer to the high frequency control and boundary compensation details below.
High Frequency control
The factory H.F setting provides a flat or 0dB level, which will suit the majority of typical installations.
Setting the switch in the +3dB position will add brightness and additional clarity to the system. This may be effective in a
room with a large amount of soft furnishings.
Setting the switch in the -3dB position will reduce the brightness and provide a duller sound. This may be effective in a room
with a few of soft furnishings, or in an installation with a wooden floor.
Boundary Compensation control
The bass drivers are optimised to work in a large closed cavity, with minimal damping. This should provide a natural roll
off characteristic that will ensure optimum performance and bass extension. However, it may be necessary in certain
installations to locate the speaker close to a corner apex of the ceiling. In this situation the bass region will become
accentuated and un-even, resulting in un-suitable balance characteristics. The effect is similar to placing a conventional hi-fi
speaker in the corner of a room. The boundary compensation provides a gentle roll off character whilst preserving the extreme
low frequency output. The switch position is either in or out.
