2-way In-Wall Speaker System
Congratulations on choosing an Elura In-Wall Loud-
speaker. Like all Elura products, great care has been taken
in their design. Their combination of advanced engineer-
ing and state-of-the-art materials will provide you with
years of listening pleasure, while blending smoothly into
your home’s decor. Before you get started, it is a good
idea to identify all the parts and hardware (See FIG. 1).
Where To Place Your In-Wall Speakers
Placement can make all the difference in how your sound
speakersd, and how easy they will be to install. Carefully consider
where your speakers should be positioned. For optimum performance, speakers should
be mounted to the left and right of the main listening area and a minimum of 8 to
10feet apart (See FIG. 2). Avoid mounting speakers in stud cavities containing electrical
wiring, heating ducts, water pipes, etc. ake sure the ceiling materials are sturdy
enough to support the weight of the speakers.
In-Wall Placement: Optimum performance will be achieved when your speaker’s
tweeters are mounted at your seated ear level (usually about 30˝ - 40˝ from the floor
depending on your seating) or slightly higher. If you desire to mount them higher in the
wall, turn the speaker over so the tweeter is closer to the listening area.
Pivoting Tweeters (FIG. 3)
The tweeters in all Elura Series speakers may be adjusted, allowing you to focus the
speakers’ high frequency output to better fit the listening area. The overall smoothest
response is achieved with the tweeter facing straight out; however, you may find the
sound more pleasing by aiming tweeters toward a particular listening area. To adjust the
tweeter, apply pressure on the ring surrounding the tweeter with your thumb or finger.
Tweeter Level A justments (FIG. 3)
The tweeter level control allows you to tailor the speaker’s frequency response to better
match the room’s acoustics. As an example, if a room has a hardwood floor, which
makes it acoustically brighter sounding, you may want to adjust the tweeter level down
to compensate. You can experiment to find the sound that’s most pleasing to you in
your particular listening environment.
Speaker Installation In Existing Construction (See FIG. 4 on back)
Once you have selected the location for your speakers, you are ready to install them.
You will need the following:
• Stud Finder • Drill & Drill Bits • Wire Cutter/Strippers • Speaker Wire
• Pencil • Phillips Screwdriver • Utility Knife or Drywall Saw • asking Tape

Elura recommends the use of 16-gauge wire minimum. For wire options consult your
retailer or custom audio contractor.
1. Elura Speakers are designed to be installed in the ceiling or wall area between studs.
Using a stud finder, make sure you are between two studs. Tape the supplied template to
the wall and lightly trace around it with a pencil.
2. Cut the hole using your drywall saw.
You may want to start with a small
hole in the center of the outline.
This will allow you to check for
any obstructions that may exist
behind the desired location.

Elura in-wall s eakers can be used as rear
surround sound channels by lacing
them (1) behind, (2) on each side of viewer,
or (3) in the ceiling just behind viewing
osition. They also make excellent front
channel home theater s eakers (4).

New Construction
1. Determine speaker locations and
mark them on your plans for future
reference.
2. If possible, run speaker wires after
HVAC and electrical wiring is in place.
3. Secure speaker wires in place
along the run with insulated staples
only and be careful not to pierce the
wire’s insulation. Allow a bit of slack
for expansion of building materials.
4. Needless to say, the actual
speakers should not be installed
until the wall board is in place. In the
meantime, leave several feet of wire
coiled up and secured at the back
side of the mounting hole.
5. To complete the installation follow
steps 2 through 5 above.
Operational Check
After making all connections, it’s a
good idea to make sure everything
is working properly. Turn on your
surround or stereo system making
sure the volume control is turned
down and that the balance control
is in the center position. Activate a
music or movie source. Gently turn
up the volume, you should hear
sound coming from your new
speakers. If no sound is
heard from any or all speak-
ers, switch off the system
immediately and check for
open or loose connections,
wrong polarity or shorts,
or improper source selection.

CAUTION: Be certain
electrical wiring,
water pipes or heat-
ing ducts do not
interfere in the
planned installation
areas prior to drilling
or cutting the wall.
3. Run speaker wire
from your amplifier
or speaker switching
device to speaker location.
4. Carefully remove the grille and set it
aside where it won’t get bent.
If you like the standard white finish of
your speakers, skip to step 5, but if you
want your speakers to blend in with a
colored wall or ceiling, now is the time
to paint your speaker’s perforated grille.
Remove the inner grille scrim cloth
before painting. (Grille painting hint: Use
a paint roller that is nearly out of paint to
first paint the inside of the grille, then the
outside. This will avoid paint filling the
grille perforations.)
5. Attach the wire to the input terminals
on the rear of the speaker. Remember to
maintain proper polarity with the
amplifier by attaching the positive (+)
lead to the red terminal and the negative
(-) lead to the black terminal.
6. See FIG. 5. With the speaker wire
attached to the speaker, slide the speak-
er up inside the cutout hole. Center the
speaker in the cutout hole and turn the
four locking screws clockwise until the
speaker is drawn up snugly to the wall
board from behind, clamping the speak-
er in place. Try to tighten each screw
equally. Replace the speaker grille by
gently placing it over the speaker until
the magnets “grab” hold of the grille.
