Tools & Items
The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers.
Use a multi-stranded wiring designed for amplier to speaker connections. Which
gauge to select depends on the length of wire to be used on any particular speak-
er. The longer your run is, the larger your wire size must be.
Wire Recommendation
Wire Length Wire Gauge
0 -100’ (0 - 30m) 16 (1.5mm²)
50 - 150’ (15 - 45m) 14 (2.5mm²)
Over 100’ (30m) 12 (4mm²)

Ideally, the two speakers should be
placed an equal distance from the lis-
tener. If the room has a lower ceiling,
the speakers can be closer together.
Also, if the speaker placement is in-
tended for standing (as opposed to
sitting) listeners, the speakers can be
closer together.
Auxiliary Room (2 Speaker Placement)
The Le Rear (LR) and Right Rear (RR)
speakers should be installed just be-
hind the listener, one on either side.
The Center Channel (CC) speaker
should be placed above and slightly
in front of the television, with the Le
Front (LF) and Right Front (RF) speak-
ers placed equidistant to either side.
Home Theater (7 Speaker Placement)

Strip ¼ to ½ inches (6 to 12 mm) of the
insulation o both ends of the wire. To
avoid stray strands, twist them at the
end. Connect the wire to the amplier,
and make sure the wire connected to
the le speaker output will be routed
to the le speaker, right output to right
speaker, etc.
1. Installing the Wire
Use a two conductor wire that allows you to identify one conductor from the oth-
er. This designation may be obvious or as subtle as a ridge on one conductor.
It’s crucial that you keep track of which wire you use for positive (+) and negative
(-). Typically if the wires are colored red and black, the red wire is used for positive
and the black wire is used for negative, but sometimes other colors or patterns
are used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to be positive and
negative as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.
On both your amplier and your speaker the connectors will be identied as red
for positive and black for negative. It is very important to look carefully at the
speaker wires and be certain that the same wire that is attached to the positive
connector in the amplier is attached to the positive connector in the speaker.

Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several
methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.
Wire Routing
One option is to li up the carpet and
route “tape wire” under the carpet.
Under the Carpet
The wire can be routed behind the
baseboard by cutting a groove out of
the back of the baseboard, or by buy-
ing special baseboard designed for
concealing wires.
Behind the Baseboard
When available, you can route the wire
through an attic or crawlspace.
Attic or Basement
When running wires through a wall, be
sure to avoid all obstacles such as AC
wiring, pipes, and ducts.
Through Walls
If these speakers are being installed in a new home during construction, the
installation process will be a bit dierent (although much simpler). For these
situations, it’s recommended you purchase a bracket. Instructions on how to
install the speakers are provided with the bracket, or can be found on our web-
site. Visit www.originacoustics.com for more information.
For New Construction

Adjust the clips so that they’re positioned at the top of the rail. If they’re not al-
ready there you can do this by pushing the metal release tabs on the inside of the
rail and pulling the clips to the top of the rails. Insert the bayonet ring into the hole
in the ceiling by gently bending the rails inward. Reach inside the bayonet ring
and push the clips down so that the bayonet ring is rmly in place, but not too
tight. If the bayonet ring needs to be removed, reach inside and push the release
tabs to reset the clips The bayonet ring can now be taken out.
When you’ve decided on the locations for all of the speakers, use the template to
trace a circle lightly in pencil where the hole should be. (Refer to the Specications
section for cutout sizes.) If you’re unsure on whether there may be obstacles (such
as pipes or wires) where you plan on installing the speaker, drill a ⅛ inch hole
in the center of the circle, then put a bent coat hanger through the hole to feel
around. Use a keyhole or drywall saw to cut the hole.

1. Fit into Ring
2. Twist into Ring
STEP 1: Fit the speaker into the bayonet ring, and twist it clockwise into place.
When the lines on the speaker line up with the lines on the bayonet ring, that
means the speaker is tightly in place. Be sure that the lines line up, otherwise
there’s a risk that the speaker will fall out of the ceiling.
5. Installing the Speaker
Push down to open the connector.
Insert the wires into the connectors,
making sure that the positive wire is
being attached to the red connec-
tion and the negative wire is being
attached to the black connection. If
the wires are switched, speaker perfor-
mance will be drastically impacted.

STEP 2:
The bayonet ring also features a metal lock to ensure the correct installation of the
loudspeaker. Out of the box, the lock will be in its closed position. Open the lock
tab to its unlocked position to remove the speaker from the ring. Once the speaker
is installed, close the lock tab by pushing it back into place, ush with the perime-
ter of the bayonet ring.

The loudspeaker must be properly seated, else the metal lock tab will not lock.
To uninstall the speaker, push the metal lock tab to its “UNLOCK” (open) position
and twist the loudspeaker counterclockwise. (See Figure B)

Aimable
The woofer (BOC66 only) and tweeter can be pivoted to direct the sound towards
the listening area. Or for a more diused surround sound experience, the rear
speakers can be aimed towards the wall. To aim the tweeter, gently apply pres-
sure to the rim with your thumbs to pivot the tweeter. To aim the woofer (BOC66
only), gently apply pressure to the rim and pivot it in the desired direction. Subject
to which speaker is being used, there are two switches: one to adjust the treble,
and one to adjust the bass. Depending on the area the speaker will be installed,
bass and treble are aected by its surroundings. When the room has a lot of hard
surfaces bass & treble are bounced and reected through the room, if the room
has soer surfaces the bass & treble are absorbed. Adjust for the desired acoustic
balance for each room.
6. Testing & Adjustments
Fit the grille over the speaker. The grille uses magnets to be held in place.

If you have a problem, try isolating it rst. For example, if you’re playing a DVD
and there is no sound, try replacing the DVD with an MP3 player to see if you get
sound. If it does work, then the problem is with the television, DVD player, or the
cables connecting them. If it doesn’t work, the problem will be with the amplier,
speakers, or those cables.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause
No Sound The volume may be turned down or muted. Check the volume
settings on both the amplier and the source (television/com-
puter/CD player/etc.)
No Sound Make sure the proper source is selected on the amplier or re-
ceiver.
No Sound Check the cord connecting the amplier with the source. The
cord may be damaged or plugged into the wrong input or out-
put.
No Sound Check the wires connecting the amplier with the speakers.
Make sure they’re connected properly and not damaged in any
way.
Poor Sound
Quality
If you hear something like static, or the sound is cutting in and
out, check the audio cables. If the problem increases when a
cable is being moved, then the cable is most likely faulty or not
connected properly.
Poor Sound
Quality
Today’s audio systems may have several places to adjust the
volume, for example your MP3 player may have a volume con-
trol, and your amplier may also have one. Check to be certain
that the volume isn’t turned up past 80% on any device.
Poor Sound
Quality
Try changing sources to be certain that the selection you’ve
chosen is a good quality recording.
