VP52R UTL ULTRA THIN-LINE SPEAKER
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Sonance Visual Performance
Series Ultra Thin-line Speakers.
Before Installation: Retro-t
1. Determine the location for the speaker.
2. Perform an obstruction survey to be certain that there are
no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts, pocket doors
or air returns in the wall cavity that will interfere with
the speaker.
3. Position the included cutout template where the
speaker is to be located and pencil an outline on the
wall or ceiling.
• If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole
in the center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire
into the hole to feel-around for possible obstructions.
4. Cut the mounting hole using tools appropriate for the
construction, and run the speaker wires from the
mounting hole to the amplier location.
Installation
Sonance Visual Performance Series Speakers feature an
exclusive integral RotoLock®mounting system for quick
mounting directly into existing walls and ceilings.
1. Strip 1/4” – 1/2” (6mm – 13mm) of insulation from each
speaker lead. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire
with solder to ensure that there are no stray strands.

NOTE: CONSULT LOCAL BUILDING CODES BEFORE RUNNING
SPEAKER WIRES THROUGH WALLS.
NOTE: STRAY STRANDS THAT TOUCH EACH OTHER CAN CAUSE A
SHORT- CIRCUIT THAT CAN DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.
2. The speaker’s connector posts are spring-loaded.
Push the top of each connector post down to open the
connector and insert the exposed wires into the holes in
the posts (see Figure 1).
3. The speaker’s positive post is labeled with a red dot; the
negative post is labeled with a black dot.
4. After making all connections, double-check that you
connected amplier “+” to speaker “+” and amplier “–”
to speaker “–”.
5. Make sure all the Roto-Lock toggle feet are retracted so
that they are tucked within the mounting hole’s border.

NOTE: THE ROTO-LOCK SYSTEM CAN ACCOMMODATE A WALL

6. Insert the speaker into the mounting hole (Figure 4) and
tighten the four screws on the front of the speaker bae.
(Figure 5).
7. The Roto-Lock clamps will automatically rotate into
position and begin clamping the speaker.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS USE LOW-TORQUE SETTINGS WHEN USING A
SCREW GUN; NEVER OVER TIGHTEN.
NOTE: ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE ROTO-LOCK CLAMPS SO
THAT THE SPEAKER FRAME IS FLAT WILL HELP ENSURE THAT THE
GRILLE CONTACTS THE WALL ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SPEAKER
FOR A PROPER FIT.

PAINTING THE GRILLES
Sonance Visual Performance Series speaker grilles
completely cover the exposed speaker frame, so only the
grilles (not the speakers themselves) require painting.
1. Prime the grille with a metal primer/bonder in a spray can.
Carefully follow the manufacturerʼs directions on the can.
2. We recommend using water-based latex paint on
the grilles. Thin the paint with a proper thinning agent
to a ratio of 1:1 paint-to-thinner, and strain it through a
standard mesh strainer to remove any lumps.
3. Use a small touch-up gun or cap-spray gun with a #3 tip
for painting.
(A) Set the nozzle with a medium to wide fan.
(B) Set the pressure regulator to 60psi.
(C) Lightly spray the front of the grille in 3 quick strokes
from approximately 10 inches away.
(D) Let the paint set for a minute, then turn the grille 90º
and lightly spray the grille again in 3 quick strokes.
Repeat this step until all four sides of the grille have
been evenly painted.
4. While the paint is still wet, inspect the grille and make
sure that excess paint has not collected underneath the
grille frame, and that none of the grille perforations are
lled with paint. If any are, use compressed air to blow
the paint out of the perforations.
5. Once the paint has thoroughly dried, mount the grille on
the speaker.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU FIND ANY GRILLE PERFORATIONS THAT ARE
PLUGGED WITH PAINT AFTER THE PAINT HAS DRIED, USE A STRAIGHT
PIN OR SEWING NEEDLE TO CAREFULLY REMOVE THE PAINT.
