TRU Audio LW Series User manual

User Manual - LW / LC Series
Choosing the Speaker Location
Before you install your speakers you should take
careful consideration of their location. Make sure to
note the location of lighting fixtures, electrical,
plumbing and any other obstructions. If the house
was pre-wired at construction time, make sure you
know where the speaker cable is
located in the wall or ceiling.
Wall Placement: When placing your speakers into the
wall, if possible, the tweeter should be positioned at
ear level or slightly higher. Take into consideration
furniture locations when finalizing your speaker
locations.
Ceiling Placement: When placing your speakers into
the ceiling, if possible, they should be mounted above
the listening area. Take in consideration furniture
locations when finalizing your speaker locations.
Prep before Speaker Installation
If your speakers were pre-wired at construction time,
your dealer might have used TRUAUDIO’s Rough-in
kits (ES & EL series) prior to drywall at each speaker
location. (There should also be speaker cable at this
location). After the drywall is installed and the hole is
cut the speaker is then easily installed. Move on to
Speaker Installation.
If the drywall has not been cut please read the
following instructions: Please note, speaker cable
should be run to each speaker location prior to
speaker installation. Locate the desired location for
the speaker to be mounted. Check the area for
obstructions such as plumbing, heating ducts or
electrical wiring.
Next, locate the wood studs or joists nearest the
desired location. Use the supplied speaker cutout to
get the recommended hole dimensions. Position the
cutout in the desired location and outline the speaker
opening. If you are not sure of possible obstructions,
cut a small hole in the center of your outline. This will
allow you to check for obstructions. If there are no
problems with your mounting location, proceed and
cutout the outlined hole.
If the wall or ceiling is not already insulated, we
suggest adding insulation, Dacron or some other
sound dampening material. If this material has a foil
layer, position the foil away from the speaker magnet.
Speaker Installation
Remove the grill from the speaker frame. If needed,
carefully push one or two of the dog ear (mounting
legs) mounting screws inward to get the grill off.
Attach the speaker wire. Caution: Make sure to
observe polarity (positive + to positive + and negative
– to negative -).
When hooking up the amplifier connect the right
channel of the amplifier to the right channel of the
speaker. Do the same for the left channel.
Now, turn all the dog ears in toward the speaker. This
will allow the speaker to easily fit into the cut hole.
Insert the speaker into the hole making sure to keep
the speaker level. Carefully tighten the mounting
screws evenly to secure the speaker.
As you tighten the screws, the dog ear mounting feet
will flip into position to grip into the drywall. DO NOT
over tighten the mounting screws. Once again, check
to make sure the speaker is level. Push on the grill
into the grooves in the speaker frame.
Painting the Speaker
If you are going to paint your speakers, we suggest
painting them prior to the installation. If you must
paint them while they are still in the wall, remove the
grill and replace it with the provided paint guards.
Then you may proceed and paint the frame of the
speakers. When painting the grills, paint them lightly
and be careful not to clog the holes. Do not paint the
grill while its still on the speaker, paint them
separately.
