SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES

Please read this entire manual before using this device, paying extra attention to these

safety warnings and guidelines. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

This speaker is intended for indoor use only.

Do not expose this speaker to water or moisture of any kind.

If operating this speaker in a humid environment, ensure that no condensation occurs.

Condensation could cause damage to the speaker cones and voice coils.

Power off and unplug all Audio/Video components when making wired connections. Only

apply power after all connections have been made.

Double-check all connections prior to applying power to ensure that speaker polarity is

properly made and that there are no stray wire strands, which could short the connections,

either on the back of the speaker or the AV receiver/amplifier.

Do not use full volume until after the speaker has been fully broken-in.

If you hear distortion, reduce the volume until the distortion is no longer audible. Distortion

can sound like a buzzing, scratching, or hammering sound. Distortion can damage or

destroy the delicate speaker coils.

Do not use cleaning fluids, solvents, or other chemicals to clean the speaker frame or grille.

When checking for the presence of objects behind the wall, do not try to force the wire

past obstructions.

Do not attempt to install this speaker near power outlets, wall switches, or ceiling fixtures.

These objects indicate the presence of AC power lines within the wall or ceiling and should

be avoided. Extreme care should be exercised when working near AC power lines.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing these In-Wall/In-Ceiling Speakers! In-wall and In-Ceiling speakers

are the ideal combination of sound quality and styling. Rather than cluttering the room

with large box speakers trailing speaker wires, the speakers are virtually invisible, yet still

fill the room with high fidelity audio. Featuring removable and paintable magnetic grilles,

these speakers use carbon fiber drivers for superior bass and mid-range reproduction, and

silk dome tweeters for sweet and smooth high frequencies.

SPEAKER BREAK-IN

In the same way that a new car requires a break-in period before it can be safely operated

at high engine RPMs, speakers require a break-in period before they can be safely operated

at maximum volume levels. Proper break-in ensures that the moving parts of the speaker

(the cone and cone suspension) are allowed to flex and soften, losing the initial stiffness

and allowing the speaker to move through its full intended range. After the break-in

period, the speakers will produce richer and fatter sounding lows, warmer and smoother

sounding mids, and cleaner and more accurate highs, without any hint of distortion.

The best way to break-in speakers is simply to play normal music or watch movies at

moderate volume levels. The amount of time required for speaker break-in varies based on

the operating environment, but is typically in the area of 50~80 hours. It will take a bit

longer in a cold or dry environment and a little less time in a warm or humid environment.

Note that the break-in period does not have to be continuous.

SPEAKER WIRE PREPARATION

Before attempting to make any connections it is best to look at the situation, get all the

necessary materials together, and then make all the connections at once.

First, look at the back of your amplifier or receiver to determine what options it offers for

making connections. Amplifiers and receivers typically employ either 5-way binding posts,

spring-loaded terminals, or push terminals for the speaker connections.

A 5-way binding post can accept bare speaker wire, spade plugs, pin plugs, and banana

plugs, while spring loaded terminals and push terminals can accept either bare speaker

wire or pin plugs. Refer to the documentation that came with your amplifier or receiver to

determine the maximum size/gauge speaker wire the speaker terminals can accept.

This speaker features push terminals, which can accept pin plugs or bare wire up to 14AWG.

If your amplifier can accept it, you should use 14AWG speaker wire. Using pin plugs is

highly recommended for several reasons. Plugs are easier to connect, don't run the risk of

stray wire strands shorting the connections, allow for use of heavier gauge speaker wire in

most cases, and it is much easier to identify the polarity from a color coded ring on a plug

then from a subtle marking along the length of a wire.

Because the speaker wires will necessarily be run through your walls, you must use in-wall

rated wire. This is required by fire safety codes and ensures that the wire jacket will not act

as an accelerant in the event of a fire.

Rather than using fixed length speaker wires, it is best to get a roll and cut the wires to the

length you will need them. This ensures that there is a minimum amount of excess wire.

However, even if your amplifier is off-center, the lengths of wire used for each speaker pair

should be identical. This keeps the impedance on each channel the same, which ensures

that the volume levels, frequency ranges, and tonalities are identical. Any excess wire

should be snaked back and forth, not coiled, to avoid creating an inductor/antenna for

stray radio signals.

Before making the actual connections, cut each length of wire to size. Note the markings

on the wire that differentiate between each conductor. Sometimes the marking clearly

identifies a positive and negative side. Some common clearly positive and negative

markings or identifiers are:

Positive

Negative

Red

Black

Copper

Silver

+ + +

- - -

In many cases, the mark is a single stripe on the jacket of one of the connectors. In this

case the side with the stripe is generally considered the positive side, but it really does not

matter as long as you are consistent and always use the stripe as positive or always use it

as negative.

When you are ready to prepare your speaker

wires, first separate about 4" of wire, then strip

about 1/4" (6mm) insulation from the end and

twist it to prevent stray strands. If you plan to use

banana or pin plugs (highly recommended), install

the plugs on the wire.

PAINTING

The grille and frame can be painted to match your walls or ceiling, making the speaker

even less noticeable. Perform the following steps to safely paint them without damaging

the speaker.

1. Completely remove the grille by

lifting the edge to pull it off the

speaker body.

2. Paint the speaker grille. It is best to

use spray paint to avoid paint

clogging the holes in the grille.

3. Allow the paint to completely dry

before proceeding with installation.

Ensure that the holes in the grille are not blocked by paint.

INSTALLATION

The following steps provide detailed instructions for installing the speaker onto a wall or

ceiling composed of drywall. The speaker can be mounted to a drywall wall or ceiling that

is between 3/8" and 1-1/4" thick, with sufficient depth clearance for the model being

installed. If installing to a drop ceiling, use of a mounting bracket is required. Monoprice

carries mounting brackets for drop ceiling installations.

1. Determine where you will be installing the speaker. Use a stud finder to ensure that

there is sufficient space between the desired location and the adjacent studs. Be

sure and check for framing members that run perpendicular to the main studs, as

well. Use a pencil to mark the edges of the adjacent studs.

2. If you have not already done so, remove the

center portion of the cardboard installation

template.

3. Position the installation template against the

wall or ceiling at the installation location.

4. For wall installations, use a carpenter's level to

ensure that the template is level.

5. Use a pencil to mark the cut line on the wall.

6. Remove the template from the wall/ceiling

and set it aside.

7. For wall installations, use the level again to check the cut lines to ensure that they

are level. Repeat steps 3-6 as necessary until the cut lines are level.

8. Drill a small hole in the middle of the cutout area. If the proposed installation

location is not clear, you can more easily repair the small hole than if you cut

without checking and find one or more obstructions.

9. Take a stiff piece of wire, such as a hanger, and bend it 90° about 8" from the end.

Insert the wire past the bend, then rotate the wire 360° to check for hidden

obstructions behind the wall. Push it in to ensure that there is sufficient clearance

behind the wall or ceiling.

10. Once you know your installation location is clear, use a drywall or keyhole saw to

cut along the cut lines.

11. If you have not already done so, prepare your speaker wire in accordance with the

guidelines in the Speaker Wire Preparation section above.

Important! Because the speaker wire will necessarily be routed through your walls,

you must use in-wall rated speaker wire.

12. Route your speaker wire from the back of your amplifier, through the wall or space

above the ceiling, to the installation location.

13. If you have not already done so, completely remove the grille, which is held in place

with magnets for ease of removal.

14. Depress the positive/red push terminal on the back of the speaker and insert the

bare wire lead or pin plug on the positive lead into the hole on the side of the

terminal. Release the terminal.

15. Depress the negative/black push terminal and insert the bare wire lead or pin plug

on the negative lead into the hole on the side of the terminal. Release the terminal.

16. Give a gentle tug on each lead to ensure that they are securely connected to the

terminals.

17. Ensure that the mounting tabs on the speaker assembly are turned inwards.

18. Position the speaker into the hole.

19. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten each mounting screw to turn the mounting

tabs back outward. Continue tightening until the mounting tabs are firmly against

the back of the wall or ceiling and the speaker is secure. Do not over-tighten the

screws to avoid damage to the mounting tabs.

20. Replace the grille onto the speaker body.

21. Ensure that your amplifier is powered off and unplugged from the power source.

22. Connect the amplifier end of the speaker wire to one of the speaker level outputs

on your amplifier, taking care to match the polarity markings on the speaker wire or

plugs.

Congratulations, your speaker is installed and ready for use!

HIGH-FREQUENCY ROLL-OFF

This speaker is equipped with a high-frequency roll-off option, which can be used to

attenuate the high-frequency response. If the speaker sounds too "bright", perform the

following steps to set the high-frequency roll-off.

1. Pull the edge of the grille to remove it.

2. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, turn the high-frequency roll-off switch to the -3dB

or -6dB position. The default is 0dB (no attenuation).

3. Replace the grille onto the speaker body.
