INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Episode® speakers. Visit our website for design recommendations and
speaker calculators.
NEW CONSTRUCTION INSTALL
Episode speaker installations can be simplified by using Episode pre-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.
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. This is known as a
“pumpkin cut.”
2. If there are no obstructions, cut the drywall again, this time at a
90° angle.
3. Insert the speaker into the cutout.
OBSTRUCTION
PLUG
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 (DVCS) Selector Switch (Select Models)
There are two options for DVCS (Dual Voice Coil / Surround) models, selected by using the selector switch
on the crossover PCB. DVC (default position) and SURR.

SECURE
Insert the speaker into the opening and tighten each of the three dog screws
to clamp the speaker against the wall or ceiling.
Tighten until you feel resistance but do not over tighten.
If using a drill / power screwdriver, use a low-torque setting.
FINE TUNE (SELECT MODELS)
Use the switch on the face of the speaker for sound adjustment. Switches can vary by
model.
Tweeter Switch: Select +, T, or –
• The default setting is T, meaning flat.
• In furnished rooms, we recommend +to increase response by +3dB.
• In more open spaces, we recommend –to decrease response by -3dB.
Pivoting Tweeter (Select Models)
The pivoting tweeter assembly can be directed to focus the sound where desired.
Two common practices are to:
• Point it directly at the listening area for a more directed sound source.
• Reflect if off hard surfaces for a more diffused sound field.
