Destination Audio Builder Series User manual

Installing with an install bracket
1. Determine placement of speakers in
the room.
2. Install the speaker bracket by nailing
or stapling the wings of the speaker
bracket to the studs of the wall or ceiling.
The bracket has a 1/2” lip that should
face into the room. This lip will provide
a guide for the sheetrock installers
to cut the hole for the speaker.
3. Run speaker wire from the audio equipment
location to the speaker bracket. Make sure
you have plenty of wire at the speaker
location to connect to the speaker.
Destination Audio recommends three feet.
4. If you are running wire through studs,
consider using nail guards to protect your
wires from sheetrock nails or screws.

3. Securethespeakerwiretoastudoroor
joist with a twist tie or staple. If you are
using a staple, be careful not to nick or
pierce the wire and leave the wire loose
enough that you can reach into the hole
you will cut into the sheetrock. Make sure
the wire is back far enough that the sheet
rockers blade or router will not cut it. If
you are running your wire through studs,
consider using nail guards to protect your
wires from sheetrock nails or screws.
4. Afterthesheetrockornishmaterialhas
been installed, use the cutout template that
came in the speaker box to cut a hole in the
sheetrock.Bemindfulofthestudsoroor
joists as you place the template.
Installing the speaker
1. Locate the speaker wire previously run
to the speaker location and connect the
speaker wire to the terminal connections
on the rear of the speaker. The positive
conductor connects to the red terminal
and the negative conductor connects to
the black terminal.
2. The speaker is secured by the four dog
ears. Tighten the four screws on the front
of the speaker, which will rotate the dog
ears out, then pull them up to secure the
speaker. Tighten the screws until they are
snug. Do not over tighten as this may
make it difcult to install the grill.
3. Place speaker grill on speaker.
Painting the speaker
When you received you speaker, a paint
shield was included. This shield can be used
to protect the speaker when you paint the
speaker rim. Painting the speaker grill should
bedonewithasprayersettone.Remove
the grill from the speaker, and place it on a
atsurface.Do not use a brush or roller on
the speaker grill as it will clog the holes.
Be sure to remove the paint shield before
reinstalling the grill and using the speakers.
Speaker adjustment
Depending on the model of Destination Audio
speaker you are installing, it may have a
pivoting tweeter and/or a +3/-3 dB gain switch.
Adjust these to obtain the desired sound.
