Installation Guide

Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing Beale Basics Series speakers from
Beale Street Audio! Beale Basics In-Wall speakers install with ease using the ‘dog
ears’ mounting system and magnetic grilles for fast, clean installations. Please
follow the instructions in this manual to assure proper installation and to achieve
the full performance and satisfaction you would expect from Beale Street Audio.
Speaker Wire
Pull one run of 16AWG stranded speaker wire from the amplifier location to each
speaker location. If in pre-wire, while the walls are open and it’s easy, pull extra
wire to any location that may be desirable to add speakers at a later date. Leave
extra length of wire on each end to allow making connections and installing/
removing speakers.
Use the chart below to determine the proper gauge of wire, based upon wire
length from the amp to the speakers. If using volume controls, include the total
length from the amp to the volume control and then to the speakers.
SPEAKER WIRE GAUGE TABLE
Speaker Wire Length Speaker Wire Gauge
150’ (46mm) 16AWG
400’ (122mm) 14AWG
Speaker wire must be run from the equipment or volume control location to each
potential speaker location.
• Choose a location for each speaker that is free of obstructions created by
joists, HVAC ductwork, electrical wire runs, plumbing or anything else that
might not allow for the depth of the speaker or create interference or noise

Installation
1. Use a stud finder to locate an area that is free of obstructions or studs. Position
the provided cutout template where you are installing the speaker(s). Trace the
template to mark out the speaker location. Drill a pilot hole and cut all the way
around the outline.
2. Pull the speaker wire out of the hole and connect to the speaker as shown
3. Place the speaker into the wall and tighten all of the dog ear screws with a Phillips
screwdriver

4. Attach the grill
5. Connect the other end of the speaker wire to the amplifier, ensuring polarity is
correct with Left/- of the amp terminals going to Left/- on the speaker and Right/+
on the amp going to the Right/+ terminals on the speaker

Painting
The grille may be painted, however apply as light as possible to avoid clogging the fine
holes within the grille. Only paint grilles when they have been removed from the speakers
and be sure to remove the cloth on the backside of the grille before painting. If the cloth is
not removed for painting, it will absorb the paint and clog the grille, significantly affecting
the sound...and not in a good way. (We have taken great effort to eliminate any ‘color’ from
the sound of our speakers, so let’s try to keep it that way...OK?)
SPEAKER TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
NO SOUND Verify that there is audio from the
source selected. Select another
source if necessary.
Ensure that the amplifier is turned
on and connected properly.
Check any connections at other
devices, such as a volume control.
Temporarily bypass the control if
needed.
Check wire connections at each
speaker not producing sound for
good contact to bare wire, not wire
insulation.
Troubleshooting
Beale Street Audio speakers are designed to function trouble-free. Most problems that
occur are due to simple issues. If you have trouble, please check the list of simple fixes

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Limited Warranty
Vanco warrants to you, the original consumer purchaser of speakers, that under proper
use and conditions, and subject to the other conditions provided below, your speakers
will be free from defective materials and workmanship for the life of the speakers. This
warranty only applies to passive speakers. Active products, such as amplifiers, electronics,
and powered subwoofers are not covered under the Lifetime Warranty. Please review the
individual manual provided with each specific product for the warranty information.
What Vanco Will Do
If a speaker proves defective in either material or workmanship, Vanco, at its option,
will either (a) repair and return it to you, or (b) replace and ship you a new speaker of the
same model, unless your model is no longer available, in which case Vanco may replace
your speaker with a current model of comparable value. In either case, Vanco will pay the
shipping charge of sending you (US only) a replacement speaker or your repaired speaker.
If a current model is substituted for your speaker, a modification to the mounting surface
may be required. Vanco is not responsible or liable to make, account for or pay the cost of
any such modification.
How To Make A Warranty Claim
The first step in making a claim under this limited warranty is to contact the Vanco
authorized distributor/dealer where you purchased the speaker, or if you are unable to
contact the distributor/dealer, you can contact Vanco directly, for instructions on what
action to take. If it is necessary to return the speaker, it must be shipped in appropriate
packaging to the destination given to you, prepaid with signature required for delivery,
and be accompanied by (1) a document providing your name, address, phone number and

of your original receipt or bill of sale that identifies you as the original purchaser of the
speaker and the authorized distributor/dealer you purchased it from (“Proof of Purchase”).
You have the risk of loss or damage in transit to the destination, and therefore you are
responsible for insuring the shipment for the full value of the speaker. Freight collect
shipments will be refused. If Vanco determines this limited warranty does not cover your
claim, your speaker will be returned to you freight collect.
