[. . . ] Selecting the proper gauge: Wire is measured in gauges: the bigger the number, the smaller the wire. The gauge of wire you need is determined by the distance between your amplifier/receiver and the in-wall speakers. Minimum Gauge 16 14 12 Figure 1 GOOD for stereo imaging
Figure 2 FINE for background music; ACCEPTABLE for stereo effect
WHERE TO PLACE YOUR CEILING SPEAKERS
Placement can make all the difference in how your Russound speaker system sounds. There are at least four factors to consider for your layout: · How you intend to use the ceiling speakers · Where they'll sound best (stereo imaging and acoustic considerations) · Where they can be installed (wall and ceiling surfaces) · Where speaker wire can be run 2
OTHER ACOUSTIC CONSIDERATIONS
For best fidelity, there are several other factors to keep in mind before you start actual installation.
Corners and Reflections: When a ceiling speaker is placed close to the corner of a room, bass frequencies are emphasized. [. . . ] Make sure that no stray strands of wire have gotten detached and are touching the other main wire. Figure 7 Insertion of speaker wire on back of speaker baffle
CUTTING HOLES FOR THE SPEAKERS
Wallboard is an easy surface in which to make a relatively neat hole. Determine the location of your joists/studs so that the speaker can be approximately centered between them. When you're reasonably sure of where the joists or studs are (and are TOTALLY sure that there isn't an electrical cable, water pipe or heating duct in that vicinity of wall), position one of the cardboard mounting templates and draw an outline with a pencil. Score the outline of the template with a utility knife to prevent chipping or wall paper from tearing. Then use a keyhole/drywall saw or motorized spiral-cut tool to make the opening. - If you're dealing with lath and plaster or thick paneling, you need to use a different technique. Then use a fine-toothed keyhole saw or even a hacksaw blade with VERY slow strokes to saw through and remove the inner surface. Cut off excess wire, leaving enough to comfortably reach from the hole in the wall to your stereo system. If there's a possibility that you're going to move the amplifier to another part of the room, consider leaving some excess wire coiled up. If you've used sufficiently thick wire, this extra length will not affect speaker performance and could make re-routing easier if the room is rearranged later. Pull the conductors on both speaker wires apart so they're separated for the last two inches. Using wire strippers, diagonal pliers or a knife, remove 1/2 inch of insulation from each conductor. Attach the speaker wires to the red and black speaker terminals on the amplifier or receiver. * Connect the POSITIVE (+) conductor to the RED terminal and the NEGATIVE (-) conductor to the BLACK speaker terminal of the receiver/amplifier. Make sure that no stray strands of wire have gotten detached and are touching the other main wire. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the other speaker.
LISTENING TEST
It's a good idea to test everything at this point. Make sure that the VOLUME control is turned down and that the BALANCE control is set to center. If sound comes from the right speaker when the stereo's balance control is turned to the LEFT, you'll need to change the connections on the back of the amplifier/receiver. Swap the wires attached to the left and right speaker terminals.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
1. If you haven't done so already during painting, remove the perforated grilles from both Russound speakers. Center the speaker in the cut-out hole and tighten the screws until the clamps are drawn up snugly from behind, clamping the speaker in place. [. . . ] Damage to or destruction of components due to application of excessive power voids the warranty on those parts. In these cases, repairs will be made on the basis of the retail value of the parts and labor. To return for repairs, the unit must be shipped to Russound at the owner's expense, along with a note explaining the nature of service required. Be sure to pack the speaker(s) in a corrugated container with at least 3 inches of resilient material to protect the unit from damage in transit. [. . . ]
