installation
Once the correct placement the speakers•
has been determined, use the cardboard
insert marked ‘template’ (from the internal
packing) to trace the required cut-out onto
the ceiling/wall.
(figure 2 - Note: Atmospherix or
Hemispherix round template is shown, the
Ecliptix template is rectangular)
Drill a hole inside the marked cut-out.•
Using a fine gyprock saw to cut around the
inside of the marked cut-out. (figure 3)
Remove the circular offcut and insert the•
speaker to check the hole is the correct
size. Enlarge the cut-out if required.
To install the speaker, first remove the•
grille. To remove the speaker grille use
the mounting clamps located around the
edge of the enclosure. Swing the mounting
clamps out so that they are 90 degrees to
the enclosure, and gently push upwards
on the clamps until the grille lifts. Carefully
lift out the grille without bending.
(Figure 4)
Pull the stripped speaker cable through the•
ceiling/wall opening. Push and hold down
the positive (+) red binding post on the
speaker and insert the positive (+) wire
through hole in post. Take care to assign
the same cable colour or trace to the
positive (+) connector on the amplifier, as
the positive (+) connector on the speaker.
Repeat connection process with the
negative (-) black binding post and the
negative (-) wire. (Figure 5)
Ensure all mounting clamps are swung•
back against the speaker enclosure
(Figure 5), so that the speaker can be
easily inserted into the ceiling cut-out.
Once the speaker has been located in the
ceiling/wall, use a Philips head screwdriver
to tighten all mounting screws. Be careful
not to over tighten screws, as this may
strip the clamp, or crush the gyprock
surface. As the screws are tightened,
the mounting clamps will automatically
swing out over the gyprock and clamp the
speaker in place. (Figure 6)
installation
Concealed audio products may feature•
a pivoting tweeter which allows the
high frequency sound to be directed as
desired, depending on your environment
and preference. Gently press on the round
outer edge of the tweeter frame to tilt the
tweeter to the desired position. Be careful
not touch the tweeter dome, as this may
damage to the tweeter. (Figure 7)
If painting the grille and speaker frame is•
not required, gently fit the metal grille to
the front of the speaker housing.
If the grille and speaker frame require•
painting, ensure the black front baffle
is masked off to protect the speaker
drivers. When painting the metal grille it
may necessary to thin down the paint to
avoiding blocking the holes in the grille.
After all paint is dry, fit the grille to the
front of the speaker housing.
