Message From Triad
Thank you for purchasing a Triad loudspeaker. We design and engineer each
loudspeaker with pride in the United States of America with the utmost attention
to quality, décor-friendly design, and high-performance sound—eliminating costly
frills and features that add nothing to sound quality. We trust that you will hear the
benefits of this engineering each time you play them.
Thanks again, and happy listening.
Setup
New Construction Install
Triad speaker installations can be simplified by using Triad new construction
brackets (sold separately). Install them prior to drywall to allow for precise
placement of the speaker.
Secure the wiring within reach of the bracket for easy access.
Existing Construction Install
Make a cutout for the speaker using the supplied template. Allow space for the
bezel if installing near adjacent objects, or cut the hole in two steps as shown
below.
Obstruction
Plug
1. Cut the drywall at a 45° angle so
that if the speaker is too close to an
obstruction, you can easily ‘plug’ the
hole.
2. If there are no obstructions, cut the
drywall again, this time at a 90° angle.
3. Insert the speaker into the cutout.

Connect
Strip the insulation on each conductor approximately ¼"and
insert into the speaker terminals. Ensure no strands of wire
protrude from the connectors.
Observe proper polarity for each speaker to the amplifier (+ to +
and – to – ).
Dual Voice Coil / Surround (DTS) Selector Switch (Select Models)
There are two options for DTS (Dual Voice Coil / Surround) models, selected by the
selector switch on the network tray cover: DVC (default) and SURR.
Visit https://tech.control4.com/s/contactsupport or contact customer support for
help with impedance, system design ideas, or wiring recommendations.
Secure
Engage
Insert the speaker or cradle into
the opening and press the grey
button at each of the PushLock
dog locations to engage the
spring-loaded dog mechanism
and secure the speaker in
place. This frees up your hands
so that you may tighten the
dogs safely.

For DVC installs, wire the left channel
to either of the two connections and
wire the right channel to the other.
For surround installs, wire the
surround channel to R Input / SURR.
Caution: Do not use stereo inputs
while in surround mode.

Tighten
While the speaker can be installed without
tightening, the PushLock dog system allows
the speaker to be cinched tight to the
surface up to 6mm.
Secure the PushLock by tightening the screw
on the front of the speaker. Only tighten the
PushLock dog when it is fully seated.
Disengage and Remove
1. Apply inward pressure on the screw of the
PushLock from the front of the speaker and the
PushLock dog should retract.
Pro Tip: The PushLock may require additional pressure inward while
moving the screw driver back and forth to release.
2. Once the PushLock is retracted, turn the screws
counter clockwise to lock the dog back in the
parked position.
Note: If the PushLock was tightened, the screw continues to spin counter-
clockwise until it is completely loose and the dog rotates into the
parked position.
Back Box and Grille Installation with Cradle
The Triad cradle allows for optional installs with Triad back boxes
and grilles. Both of these options can be done with or without the
speaker installed in the cradle.
The Triad cradle allows for quick, tool-free installation, when
mounted to the back box.
Caution: There is a grey protective plug on the quick
connection on the back of the speaker. Remove
this prior to install.
The installed Triad cradle allows for all respective Triad grilles
to magnetically secure over the speaker opening. All Triad PDX
speakers and cradles include protective covers. Grilles can be
placed over the protective covers or removed at any point prior
to installing the grille. Protective covers should be removed
prior to playing the speaker.
6
Inserting and Removing the Speaker from the Cradle
Triad PDX speakers can be installed as a one or two piece system, but are shipped
as a single, assembled unit for easy one-step installs. If needed, the speaker can be
separated from the cradle before the install.
To remove the speaker from the cradle, rotate the grey levers counterclockwise and
pull the speaker out by the levers.
To insert a speaker in the cradle, push the speaker in using the rim of the speaker to
apply pressure, then rotate the grey levers clockwise.
Fine Tuning
Adjust the Tweeter
Remove the protective cover before playing the speaker. The protective cover is in
place to protect the speaker from paint and dust during the install process.
Pivot the tweeter to direct sound where you prefer.
Adjust the Sound
Use the treble/bass switches on the
face of the speaker to adjust the sound
+2dB or -2dB. Switches may vary by
model.
In furnished or overly damped rooms,
it is recommended to set the treble/
bass switch to +to increase response by
+2dB.
In more open spaces, it is recommended
to set to -to decrease response by -2dB.
7
Sound / Dual Voice Coil Switch (DTS Models Only): Select SURR or DVC on the rear
of the speaker.
DTS models can be configured as a Surround speaker or DVC (Dual Voice Coil
Speaker). To use as a Surround speaker set the switch to SURR and to use as a DVC
Speaker set the switch to DVC.
Dialogue Enhancement Switch (LCR Only): Select on or o on the face of the
speaker.
Select on for enhanced dialogue and clear speech.
