the speaker.

ENGLISH

POSITIONING…

Layout

CustomSound In-Wall/In-Ceiling speakers are designed to be mounted in walls or ceilings. In part, due to their wide dispersion characteristics and

other aspects of their superb sonic performance, the mounting position in a room is very ﬂexible. Based on different requirements and the variety

of room shapes and sizes, we highly recommend consulting your local PSB authorized dealer, or contacting a local CEDIA certiﬁed custom install

specialist nearest you.

Speaker Locations

Before installation, it is strongly suggested to consider and plan the

probable location of listeners in relation to speaker locations. Ideally,

listeners should have a clear line-of-sight.

Please read and understand all safety and preparation information on

these pages to ensure installation is done accordingly.

Preparing Ceiling and Wall

If you are unsure about completing this process, we highly suggest

consulting your local PSB authorized dealer, or contacting a local CEDIA

certiﬁed custom install specialist nearest you.

WARNING: Ensure each spot chosen is safe for cutting. Do not cut through mounting surfaces that could have potential hazards such as electrical

wiring, conduits, plumbing or asbestos insulation concealed behind them.

If there is some type of moveable insulation in the ceiling, please proceed after reviewing these tips:

• Wear hand, mouth, nose and eye protection before handling insulation containing ﬁbreglass.

• Beware of hidden nails when reaching into the ceiling to remove insulation.

• Cut or push the insulation away before inserting the speaker.

• Be sure to keep a 4-6 in. (10-15 cm) area around the speaker hole free from any types of insulation to maximize acoustic performance.

• Loose blown in insulation should not be used in the location of the speaker as it can cause damage to the woofer if the Backcan (sold

separately) is not used.

ENGLISH

INSTALLING…

NOTE: Please use eye protection and observe all safety precautions before using appropriate installation tools.

Using the Cut Out Template

NOTE: Locate the wall studs prior to installation as they could interfere with the placement of the speakers.

1. Centre the template in the location where the centre of the speaker grille will be located.

2. Position the template in place on the mounting surface (e.g., use painter’s tape).

3. Trace along the cutting line of the template with a pencil.

New Construction

1. For open back model speakers (CS610, CS630, CS650) use the stud plate and/or metal

wings to lock the speakers in place.

2. For enclosed model speakers (W-LCR,W-LCR2, C-LCR, C-SUR) use the appropriate

in-wall/in-ceiling installation bracket, locate the locking tabs and connect both halves of

the bracket together until secure.

3. Take the four metal stud wings and lock them in place in the proper direction of the

mounting studs (W-LCR,W-LCR2, C-LCR, C-SUR).

4. Place the assembled bracket in the desired location of the speaker, with the outlined

edge facing outwards from the wall. Use the included double sided tape (only included

with the CS600 models) when lining up all bracket locations before screwing into place.

5. Use the appropriate hardware to secure each metal stud wing to the applicable

mounting studs.

6. Before installing wall or ceiling panelling such as drywall, map each bracket location for

easier installation of the speaker once wall or ceiling panelling has been installed.

7. For further install instructions, please follow the instructions listed in the “Existing

Construction” section and all “New Construction” instructions listed within the section.

ENGLISH

Existing Construction

1. Drill a hole large enough so that the blade of your cutting tool can be inserted.

2. Drill a hole inside the area drawn with the template.

3. Choose a spot near the centre or close to the outside edge of the drawn area, based on the

location, that will be easier to begin cutting with a cutting tool.

NOTE: Be sure to cut carefully to make the opening as symmetrical as possible.The speaker will

overlap some of the cutting edge, masking any minor cutting issues.

4. Hold the cutting blade perpendicular to the mounting surface.Try to keep the blade as straight

as possible while the opening is cut, to ensure the blade follows the outline.

5. For ceiling installations, insert the tip of the saw or cutting tool into the pilot hole and cut

seventy-ﬁve percent around the cutting line.

6. Place one hand under the surface cut out to support it and continue to complete cutting the opening.

7. Remove the cut-out section.

8. Make sure all material and debris are cleaned from the hole.This material can interfere with a proper seal between the speaker and the

mounting surface.

Preparing Speaker Cable Wires

A speaker cable consists of two insulated wires.The insulation around one wire is marked (stripped, collared, or ribbed) to identify it as positive,

while the other wire is negative.

Using the appropriate tools install the speaker cable in the desired locations for the installation.When the

speaker cable is within reach of the speaker opening:

1. Push all insulation and debris from the inside of the speaker opening and ensure blown insulation is at

least 4 to 6 in. (10 to 15 cm) from the surrounding of the opening.

2. Locate and pull at least 14 in. (36 cm) of speaker cable out from the speaker opening.

3. Make sure to allow enough cable to connect the wires to the speaker from a comfortable position.

4. Strip approximately 1/2 in. (13 mm) of insulation from both wires.

5. Twist the bare end of each wire so loose strands will not touch across terminals.

Connecting the Speakers

When connecting speaker wire, be sure to connect each wire to the proper speaker and ampliﬁer/

receiver terminal for correct polarity, positive to positive (+) and negative to negative (-). Ensure both

channels move forward and backward together (in-phase).

Bare Wire Connection

Push the top of the binding post down to line up the two holes. Insert wire through hole, and release binding

post.

NOTE: This connection will accept up to 8-gauge wire.

ENGLISH

Observe Proper Connection Polarity

1. Slide the bare end of the positive lead into the correct, spring-loaded

terminal post colour-coded red or

marked (+).

2. Slide the bare end of the negative lead into the correct, spring-loaded

terminal post colour-coded black or

marked (-).

3. The wire through each terminal post should be slightly pushed over to

avoid contact with wire strands from other terminal posts, or speaker

circuitry.

4. Ensure all wiring is properly secured before proceeding with installation.

For more information on installing speaker cable, consult a local CEDIA certiﬁed custom installation specialist or professional electrician.

Installing the Backcans (Optional)

1. Connect the speaker terminals (with the speaker wire) to the

speaker input before installing the Backcan on the speaker.

Ensure proper connection polarity is followed -- see “Observe

Proper Connection Polarity” diagram for reference.

2. Once the speaker wires are connected, place the Backcan on

the rear of the speaker. Do not press on the speaker driver

cones as the speaker is guided into the opening.

3. One of the four mounting bosses has an alignment tab to

ensure it is installed the same way all the time.

4. Install 4 screws (provided) to ﬁrmly lock on and seal the Backcan.

Inserting the Speaker

1. Using two hands and holding the edge of the speaker, guide the speaker into the opening

and ensure the speaker cable is not being pinched.

2. Make sure not to press on the speaker driver cones as the speaker is guided into the

opening, and be careful not to damage or remove any of the gasket material on the edge

of the speaker if present.

3. With the speaker in place, tighten one of the dogleg screws until the frame of the speaker

is pressed ﬁrmly against the mounting surface.Avoid tightening the screws with too much

pressure as it can cause damage to the mounting surface.

4. Locate the opposing dogleg screw and repeat the process, as these two tightened dogleg

screws will hold the speaker in place temporarily.

5. Repeat the same process with the other doglegs to ﬁrmly secure the speaker in place.

Installing and Removing Grilles

The CustomSound In-Wall and In-Ceiling models use high-strength magnets for easy installation of the grilles to the speaker.The speaker is

equipped with several magnetic strips along the edge of the speaker.

1. Centre the grille over the speaker until it is ﬁrmly locked in place.

2. If the grille will not lock into place, check to ensure the grille is properly centred on the

frame and all magnets are clear of debris.

LISTENING…

Testing Speakers

With the speakers installed, ensure the speakers are functioning properly before ﬁnalizing the installation.

• Before turning on the receiver/ampliﬁer, make sure there is no unused speaker cable connected to either component. Attached cable that is

free at one end can cause a short and damage your equipment.

• Turn on the receiver/ampliﬁer and play material that you are familiar with to try and recognize differences or irregularities in the sound of

the speaker.

• Ensure reproduced sounds are clear and free of distortion.

Please refer to your receiver or ampliﬁer manufacturer’s manual for more information on surround modes, room EQ, and other speaker calibration

settings.

PROTECTING YOUR INVESTEMENT

For long lasting enjoyment of your PSB speakers, you should respect their limits and avoid excessive volume levels for music or movie playback.

Excessive volume levels can damage all types of speakers.

If your speakers are pushed to excessive volume levels, they could be driven into “clipping”, which could result in severe and permanent damage.

When listening to your speakers at loud levels, check for any signs of harsh, distorted midrange and diminishing resolution. If detected, turn the

volume down immediately.

NEVER TEST PEAK LISTENING LEVELS OF YOUR SPEAKERS BY TURNING THE VOLUME UP ALL THE WAY!

CARING AND CLEANING…

It is essential to maintain and clean your speakers periodically. However, excessive cleaning may cause damage and jeopardize the longevity of the

product.When not in use, avoid storing the speakers in extreme hot or cold temperatures and humidity and avoid exposing them to liquids.

Grille Care

After removing the grille, vacuum the front of the speaker on a low setting. Lightly wipe the surface and perforated holes with a damp cloth to

remove residue or dust from the grille. If deeper cleaning is required, use a non-hazardous cleaning product and wipe the surface. Allow the grille to

dry thoroughly before carefully reattaching it to the speaker.

Driver Care

During light cleaning, avoid touching speaker cones as this could cause permanent damage. If deeper cleaning is required, we suggest using a lint

brush to clean the speaker cones and rubber surrounds. Never touch the metal tweeter domes.

ENGLISH

TROUBLESHOOTING…

Issue: Audible Distortion

I. If a speaker begins to sound distorted or fatigued, follow the speaker wire from the speaker in question to the receiver/ampliﬁer to ensure

wires are in good condition, are ﬁrmly connected and are not touching across terminals.

II. Check connections from the source of music to the receiver/ampliﬁer.

III. At the speaker, release the spring-loaded terminal posts and remove the affected speaker to reveal the cable. Make sure the wires are in good

condition, are ﬁrmly connected and are not touching across terminals.

Issue: Low or No Volume

I. If there is low or no volume output, check that the receiver/ampliﬁer is powered on and all receiver/ampliﬁer settings are correct.

II. If the receiver/ampliﬁer is indeed powered on, check and ensure that the cable connections to the receiver/ampliﬁer are in good condition, are

ﬁrmly connected and are not touching across terminals.

III. If other stereo speakers are connected to a second set of audio outputs on the ampliﬁer/receiver, make sure to select the proper A or B

speaker setting to match A or B outputs connected to the speakers.
