INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Russound Acclaim 5 Series In-ceiling Speakers.

Like all Russound speakers, they combine acoustic technology with durability

and will provide years of musical enjoyment. The single-point stereo models

feature a dual voice coil design allowing both right and left signals to function

in one speaker. This is ideal for smaller rooms or where there is not a dened

listening position. The 2-way models have pivoting tweeters to allow the sound

to be directed toward the listener.

The Acclaim 5 Series line provides solutions for background music and

dedicated music listening. The Acclaim 5 Series combines premium acoustic

materials with advanced drivers to deliver exceptional performance in every

application.

Some models oer Treble and Bass frequency adjustment buttons. This

adjustment allows you to tailor the sound of the speakers to better match the

listening environment. The buttons located on the front bae oer +3dB and

0 dB settings.

In addition to easy mounting features, Russound Acclaim 5 Series speakers

feature high quality drivers, sophisticated crossover networks, and advanced

designs to ensure optimum reproduction in your home, no matter what the

source material may be.

PREPARATION / WIRING INFO

Speaker Wire

The amount of wire needed varies with speaker placement. Label speaker

wires with left, right, and room location.

What kind to use: We recommend using Russound AW series speaker cable

or any reputable brand of 16 to 12 gauge multi-stranded wiring for amplier-

to-speaker connections.

Selecting the proper gauge: Wire is measured in gauges: the bigger the

number, the smaller the wire. The gauge of wire needed is determined by the

distance between your amplier/receiver and the speakers. The longer the

run, the heavier the gauge needed. Use the following chart as a guide:

Length Minimum Gauge

0' to 100' 16

50' to 150' 14

100' to 200' 12

If the conductors are not sheathed in colored jackets, be consistent with

usage. The standard colors on the terminals are red Positive (+) and black

Negative (-). If the wire has transparent insulation, one conductor will be

copper-colored (+) and the other silver-colored (-). If the wire has an opaque

insulation, the conductors are dierentiated by a series of ribs or grooves, a

stripe, or dotted line on one conductor. Use and mark these as the Positive (+)

conductor.

Installation Tips

When installing the speakers, avoid:

T-bar "drop ceilings" with very thin berboard panels which can buzz and•

vibrate. If needed, reinforce the drop-in panel with wood or particle board.

Ceilings where there are pipes, heating ducts and especially AC wiring in•

the general vicinity.

Speaker Wire Paths

Avoid running speaker wires close to house electrical wiring for any•

distance. If you have to run them parallel, leave two feet between the

wiring. Speaker wires should cross AC lines at a 90° angle.

The entire path between speakers and amplier should be clear and•

unobstructed. Conrm placement for a wall port close to the intended

location of the amplier or receiver.

Label speaker wires at each end with Left and Right and the room location.•

Impedance Matching for Ampliers and Speakers

Not all ampliers or receivers can safely operate two sets of speakers at once.

If you intend to use more than one pair of speakers at a time it’s important

to consider both the impedance of the speakers and the capabilities of the

amplier or receiver you’re using. Changing the bass frequency adjustment

from +3 dB to 0 dB will change the impedance from 6 ohms to 8 ohms

respectively.

PREPARATION / SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Speaker Placement in the Room

Determine the intended use and placement of the speakers in the room.

If they are going to be your primary listening source in a room, you need

to consider some other factors to insure proper imaging. The term "stereo

imaging" refers to a speaker system’s ability to project music so that it sounds

like the performers are in a three-dimensional space between the speakers.

Bass frequencies are emphasized when ceiling speakers are placed close to a

wall. Avoid placing one speaker in a corner and another on a long at surface.

The best acoustic performance will result if both speakers are placed in similar

positions and face a similar type of surface.

The ceiling speakers should be placed directly to the sides or rear of the

prime listening position with the tweeters aimed toward the listener. This

conguration is also suitable for a TV/movie and music mixed use.

Acclaim In-ceiling speakers may be used for rear surround sound channels by

placing them just behind the viewers. Refer to the Home Theater placement

diagram.

Refer to the details at right for sample In-ceiling placement options.

Good placement for serious listening:• Stereo pair in-ceiling speakers. 6' to 8'

(1.8m-2.4m) apart, on the long wall of a rectangular room, centered on the

listening area.

Best placement for serious listening:• Stereo pair in-ceiling. 6' to 8' (1.8m-2.4m)

apart, on the short wall of a rectangular room, centered on the listening

area.

Good placement for background listening:• Stereo pair behind, above or to

the sides of the main listening area. 6' to 8' (1.8m-2.4m) apart, centered on

the listening area.

Surround sound:• The multiple surround locations can all be made to work

as long as the tweeters are properly directed. The ceiling speakers should

have the tweeters aimed toward the listener.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

Pre-wire or Pre-construction

Locate all obstructions (AC wiring, plumbing, duct work, studs, and joists).

Route the speaker wire to the speaker location avoiding all obstacles.

Russound oers Speaker Rough-In Brackets that can be fastened to the

adjacent studs. Once the dry wall is installed, the opening is cut out. There are

holes in the bracket for speaker wire tie-o to keep the wire from being lost

during construction.

Make sure the speaker cutout (hole) doesn't extend further than ¼" (0.6 cm)

from the inside of the mounting bracket.

Retrot Installation

Locate existing pipes, duct work, and AC wiring before cutting any holes in

the ceiling.

Center the cardboard template between adjacent joists, avoiding all wiring,1.

pipes, duct work, and lightly mark the outline with a pencil. Then use a

keyhole/drywall saw or motorized spiral-cut tool to make the opening.

Score the outline of the template with a utility knife to prevent chipping.2.

If dealing with lath and plaster or thick paneling, drill 1" (2.5 cm) holes in

several places around the pencil outline. Use a ne-toothed keyhole saw

or hacksaw blade with slow strokes to saw through and remove the inner

surface.

Run two pair conductors for single point speakers.

Painting the Speaker Frame and Grille

Russound Acclaim Speakers have a designer white nish that can be painted

with ordinary latex paint. Use the paint shield to protect the speaker from any

paint spatter.

Remove the speaker grilles. From the back of the speaker, push the clamp1.

(dog-ear) towards the grille to loosen it so you can pull it o. If the speaker is

already installed use a slightly bent paperclip to remove the grille. Remove

the scrim cloth from the grille and set aside.

Insert the paint shield into the bae.2.

Paint the outer speaker frame and grille separately. Use the same coverage3.

on both the grille and frame. Russound recommends diluting the latex

paint with water 4:1 or 5:1 proportionally.

While the paint is still wet on the grille, and the grille is not in the frame, use4.

a gentle burst of compressed air against the outside surface to clear the

ne holes in the mesh.

After the paint has thoroughly dried, continue with the installation.5.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

Additional Tips / Considerations

If possible, run speaker wires after AC wiring is in place to avoid induced•

hum caused by close parallel proximity of the two types of wire.

Secure speaker wires in place against a stud along vertical runs with•

insulated staples only. Do not pierce the wire insulation. Allow a bit of slack

for expansion of building materials.

Route horizontal wire runs through holes drilled in studs at roughly equal•

heights.

The speakers should not be installed until the wallboard is in place. In the•

meantime, leave several feet of wire coiled up and secured to the back

side of the mounting frame. Excess length can be removed during nal

assembly.

When installing the drywall, make sure the speaker cutout hole doesn’t•

extend farther than ¼" (0.6 cm) from the inside of the mounting frame.

Any speaker installed in a ceiling should have a safety wire rmly tied•

between the back of the speaker assembly and the frame of the building.

Use any strong insulated wire and connect it to the speaker bae, being

careful not to let it interfere with the speaker’s operation. The other end

should be rmly attached to the joist or ooring above using a hook, nail,

or other reliable fastener.

Terminate the wires in an outlet box attached to a stud or retrot junction•

box at the exit location. Utilize an outlet plate which has connections for

speaker wire terminations. Russound dealers oer a full line of Russound

PlateMate™ connection systems.

After the drywall is secured and nished, install the speakers as described•

in this manual.

Speaker Assembly

Fit the paint shield over the bae.

Do not attach the scrim cloth and grille

until the speaker has been connected and

secured in the ceiling.

to push the grille out from the back side.

Connect the speaker wire to the speaker terminals:2.

Leave about 2' (60 cm) of wire extending through the ceiling cutout.•

Pull the conductors apart so the last two inches are separated and•

remove ½" (1.3 cm) of insulation from the end of each conductor.

Twist the strands in each conductor into tight spirals.•

Attach the speaker wires to the red and black speaker terminals. Connect•

the Positive (+) conductor to the Red terminal and the Negative (-)

conductor to the Black terminal. Make sure that no stray strands of wire

are touching the other conductor or terminal.

Single point speakers have four terminals; Right(+), (-) and Left(+), (-). Run•

an extra pair of conductors and observe proper polarity when making

connections.

TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS

Listening Test

It’s a good idea to test everything at this point.

Turn on your stereo system or music source. Make sure that the volume1.

control is turned down and that the balance control is set to center.

Gently turn up the volume. You should hear music coming out of your new2.

Russound Speakers! (If you don’t, refer to the troubleshooting guide.)

Now rotate the stereo’s balance control all the way to the left. Sound should3.

only come out of your left speaker. If it comes out of the right speaker, skip

to Step 5.

Rotate the balance control all the way to the right. Sound should only come4.

out of the right speaker.

If sound comes from the right speaker when the stereo’s balance control is5.

turned to the left, you’ll need to change the connections on the back of the

amplier/receiver. Note: Turn o the amplier. Swap the wires attached to

the left and right speaker terminals.

Tweeter Adjustment

The tweeters pivot and should be aimed toward the intended listener. Before

installing the grille, gently press on the outside of the tweeter ring as shown.

Note: Not applicable for the single point stereo speakers - The tweeters do not

pivot and pushing on the tweeters will damage the domes.

Grille Installation

After all adjustments and listening tests are made install the grille. Replace

the scrim cloth in the grille smoothing the material in place. Insert the speaker

grille into the frame. Press gently into place, taking care not to scratch the

frame nish or bend the grille. In most installations, the grilles will t tightly

without causing vibration. If any audible vibration does occur, use special

damping/adhesive material.

Tweeter Adjustment

Press only on the outer ring of

the tweeter. Pressing on the

interior of the tweeter dome

will damage it!
