Assembly
The recommended method of assembling the speaker is to rst
slip one black rubber washer onto the threaded nipple at the top
of the speaker stem. Next, insert the threaded nipple and speaker
wire through the hole in the parabolic reector, and slip the
remaining rubber and steel washers onto the end of the nipple
protruding through the parabola. Now thread brass reducer and
coupling onto the nipple and hand tighten them rmly. The speak-
er can now be handled as a unit.
Wiring Connections
The Secret Sound speaker operated in the same manner as any
conventional speaker. It will work with any amplied sound
source, and can be connected to the sound source using either
16 or 18 gauge standard speaker wire.

Installation
The Secret Sound installation is similar to that of a ceiling-mount-
ed electrical map. The black steel coupling has ½” inside threads
which can be attached to standard rigid electrical conduit with ½”
outside threads. This conduit is generally mounted directly to the
ceiling using a standard electrical junction box. Once you have
mounted your rigid conduit from the ceiling, bring the speaker
wired from the sound source through the conduit so approxi-
mately two inches of wire are protruding from the threaded
bottom end. Before connecting the speaker, position it on a
steady ladder or scaffold near the end of the ceiling mounted
conduit. Now connect the wire ends from the coupling to the
ends of your wire coming from the sound source. Once the wires
are connected, “pre-rotate” the speaker 6 or 8 times count-
er-clockwise. This will prevent the speaker wire connection from
becoming too twisted when threaded onto the coupling. Thread
the coupling onto the end of the conduit and hand tightened
rmly. The speaker is now ready to operate. The speaker can be
mounted at any height off the oor with minimal affect on the
diameter or quality of the bean of focused sound. The parabolic
reection can be painted without affecting the speaker perfor-
mance, although it is recommended that the underside be paint-
ed with a gloss nish to insure optimum sound reection.

Warranty and Return Policy Trouble Shooting
If after installation you nd that your Secret Sound speakers are
not performing to your expectations, try the following procedures:
Check to see that the volume is set no higher than it needs to be
to be clearly heard when directly underneath the unit. Sound
systems are often turned up too loud to accommodate the highest
crowd situations then it not turned down later. Fluctuating sounds
from crowds or other exhibits are a common problem in public
spaces and if your installation includes severe ambient noise
uctuations, you may want to try our SmartAmp, which automati-
cally adjusts speaker volume as the ambient sounds rise and fall.
Another problem that can affect performance quality is the sound
source playing through the speaker. Old or poor quality master
recordings often contain excessive low frequency noise that can
interfere with a tightly focused sound beam. If possible, try to
ensure that recordings have been professionally mastered with
minimal low frequency and volume vibrations. This will help
produce the highest quality of sound and minimal audio spillover.
