OWNER’S MANUAL

CONSUMER PRECAUTIONS

Read these precautions carefully before installing your NS-IW960 speaker.

• Before you begin installation, read this owner’s manual completely and consult your local building codes. If you

have any doubt, contact your dealer or a qualified audio/video installer.

YAMAHA recommends installing the speaker only in two-by-four wood frame or similar construction.The

instructions provided in this owner’s manual are intended specifically for this type of wall construction.

When installing your NS-IW960 in-wall speaker, be aware of the product weight (See specification page) and

the sturdiness of the material into which you are installing the speaker.

Be aware of any concealed studs, electrical wiring or plumbing in the wall or ceiling into which you are

installing the speakers. If you are not sure of a safe way to install these speakers, consult aprofessional

installer or a building contractor.

Never touch the woofer or tweeter units with your hands or expose them to excessive physical shock.If they

are dented or bent, the sound will be distorted.

Lower the power amplifier/receiver volume control before changing input sources. Never change input sources

(for example, FM to CD) at high listening levels. Always turn the receiver/amplifier unit off when installing or

removing any cables.

Anytime you note distortion, reduce the volume control on your power amplifier/receiver to a lower setting.

Never allow your power amplifier to be driven into “clipping”.

Secure placement or installation is the owner’s responsibility. YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident

caused by improper placement or installation of speakers.

•

WARNING:

Installation shall be in accordance with the applicable section of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,

and/or the National Fire Alarm Code, ANSI/NFPA 72, as applicable. The wiring method and compartment shall

be such as not to interfere with the operation of the speaker.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

TOOLS NEEDED

Pencil Drill Drywall saw Wire strippers Gloves

Small level Sturdy wire

(such as a coat hanger)

Philips screwdriver Safety goggles

Though this speaker is a magnetically shielded type, there may be some influence on a TV picture depending on the

type of TV or the placement of the speaker. In such a case, place the speaker apart from the TV so that there is no

influence on the TV picture.

•Stereo

For best stereo performance, install the left and right

speakers at equal distance from the listening position.

Each speaker should be separated by a distance of 6-

10 ft. And the center of the speaker should be placed

at the listener’s ear level.

•Home Theater

Install the left and right front speakers on either side of

your TV, with the center of the speaker at the listener’s

ear level. The center channel speaker can be installed

horizontally above or below the TV. Surround speakers

should ideally be placed behind the listening area, at

least as far apart as the front speakers and up to 2

additional feet apart per side. The height of the

speaker should be at a minimum of ear level or

preferably somewhat higher.

INSTALLATION

Before installation, check to ensure that the area you are installing the speaker is free of any wall studs, by

tapping the wall or using a stud finder.

If you wish to paint the speaker frame and grill, please refer to page 7 “PAINTING THE SPEAKER FRAME AND

GRILL” before proceeding.

Position the cutout template

where you are installing the

speaker. Make sure the

template is level, then trace

around the template with a

pencil.

TEMPLATE

Drill a pilot hole in the center

outline you traced.

Insert the bent coat hanger

wire into the hole. Then

slowly rotate to check for any

obstruction. If there is any

obstruction, patch the hole

and select another location.

360°

Cut the wall along the outline

you traced.

Run high quality speaker

cable from your receiver to

the speaker. Leave a few

extra feet of cable.

Note:

You can insulate the cavity by

placing a sheet of fiberglass

insulation around the speaker

components to improve

speaker performance.

Connect the speaker cable to

the speaker and your

receiver. Please refer to page

6, “CONNECTIONS” section

for detailed instructions.

Place the speaker into the

wall.

Tighten each of the six

screws evenly until the

clamps at the back of the

frame grip the wall to secure

the speaker.

Attach the grill to the frame.9

Note:

For secure grill attachment,

application of the supplied

glue strips is recommended.

Note:

You can swivel the tweeter to

direct high frequency sounds

precisely toward the listening

position by gently pressing

the outer edge of the tweeter

mount.

CONNECTIONS

• Connect the push-type input terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker output terminals of the

receiver.

Connect the (+) terminals on the receiver and speakers using the corresponding side of the cable. Connect

the (−) terminals on both components using the other side of the cable.

•

•How to connect

1 Press and hold down the speaker terminal.

2 Insert the bare wire.

3 Release the terminal. Test the firmness of the

connection by pulling lightly on the cable at the

terminal.

Remove the insulation

coating at the extremity of each speaker cable

by twisting the coating off.

Notes:

• Make sure that the bare wires are not touching each other as this could damage the speaker and receiver.

• Connect one speaker to the left terminals of your receiver, and another speaker to the right terminals,

making sure no to reverse the polarity (+, −). If one speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound

will be unnatural and lack bass.

PAINTING THE SPEAKER FRAME AND GRILL

The speaker frame and grill can be painted to match your room décor. Use high quality spray paint and select a

well ventilated area before proceeding.

•Painting the frame

1 Remove the speaker from the wall if it is already

installed. Also, remove the grill from the baffle.

2 Mask the speaker components and the baffle with

the supplied paint protective cover.

3 Apply the paint to the frame.

•Painting the grill

Carefully remove the grill from the speaker, if

attached.

Apply the paint to the grill. Make sure that the grill

holes remain free of paint. Clogging the holes with

paint may diminish the sound quality.
