Optimal Performance Setup
Bluetooth streaming source location should be iden-
tified before installing speakers in the wall. You may
need to adjust your ideal streaming location based
on multiple factors such as your application and the
distance from the speakers to your straming device.

Connection
1.) Connect Low Voltage harness to included wall plate.
2.) Plug in wall plate to 110V standard wall outlet.
3.) Connect Bluetooth streaming device.
1.) Connect speaker wire to ‘+’ and ‘-‘ output on powered speaker.
2.) Connect speaker wire to ‘+’ and ‘-‘ input on passive speaker
ensuring polarity is the same on both speakers (IE: red to red and
black to black).
Note: If you wish to use multiple sources, these speakers can be
used as a passive speaker set and connected to a receiver instead
of using the built in amplifier. This negates the need to connect
these speakers to a wall outlet if you choose to wire them this way.
Please contact AV Express if you have additional questions on this.
1.) 0 db setting. This will allow the tweeter to play at the maximum
volume / db level. High frequencies will be the loudest on this setting.
2.) -3 db setting. This reduces the high frequency volume noticeably.
Ideal for mixed use rooms.
3.) -6 db setting. This reduces the high frequency volume considerably.
Ideal for rooms that are excessively “bright” or acoustically “louder”.
