Carefully review all
installation options and instructions
before proceeding.
For safety purposes, use
safety goggles at all times.
Check for piping /
electrical before cutting or drilling.
Electrical components are
not waterproof.
If there is any risk of
uninsulated electrical connections in
your wall / ceiling area, use insulating
gloves.
All wiring must be done in
accordance with National Electric Code
and local building code.
The Acoustics 430-1, 440-
6.5, and 440-8.0 should be installed
by a licensed, qualified electrician.
Clearance is required
around speaker mounting hole for the
mounting clamps. Provide space as
needed.
These speakers require
two-conductor wiring of sufficient
gauge based on distance from speaker
to amplifier. Less than 50 feet, use
16 guage. More than 50 feet, use 14
guage.
When running speaker
wires from ceilings, use special jacketed
cables (CL-2 or CL-3 rating) to protect
the wires and for fire prevention.
Label both ends of
speaker wires to simplify connections.
Plan speaker path for
maximum efficiency.
Do not run speaker wires
closer than 12” from high voltage
wires.
If speaker wires must
cross high voltage lines, do so at a 90°
angle to avoid audible hums in your
speakers.
Do not run speaker wires
in series or parallel and do not “daisy-
chain” to common wiring. See typical
installation.
Speakers should be
installed no higher than 48” above
the finished sauna floor. 2’ distance is
recommended from any corner to avoid
overemphasized bass. Maintain 5’ to
8’ distance between the speakers to
ensure proper stereo imaging.
