Installing the Speakers
The In-Wall Series speakers feature a mounting system with six
swiveling feet for quick, secure installation. Use the following
steps:
1. Remove the grille. (To force the grille out of its retaining
groove, it may be necessary to push one or two of the mount-
ing screws and its attached foot toward the baffle and against the
inside surface of the grille.)
2. Attach the speaker wire (observing the proper polarity with
your amplifier, matching positive (red) to positive and negative
(black) to negative). Be certain the left channel of the amplifier is
connected to the left speaker, and that the right channel is con-
nected to the right speaker.
3. Be sure the mounting feet are turned inward to clear the
opening, and then insert the speaker into the wall. Position the
speaker in the hole.
Note: The flange of the speaker is designed to
conform to minor imperfections in the wall's surface.
screws on the front of the baffle only so much that the flange is
snug against the drywall. As you tighten the screws, the feet will
flip into an outward position
wall between the feet and the flange.
Adjusting the Frequency Response for IW85 & IW67
Treble Adjustment
The Treble switch allows +3dB of adjustment from the "0" position,
where the most linear frequency response is maintained. If more
treble is desired, simply move the switch to the "+3" position. To
return to the neutral setting, move the switch back to the "0" posi-
tion. The Treble switch can be adjusted whenever desired.
Diagram 5)
Bass Adjustment
The Bass switch provides +3dB of bass adjustment from the "0"
position, where the flattest bass frequency response is maintained.
For extra bass, move the switch to the "+3" position. To return to
the neutral setting, move the switch back to the "0" position. As
with treble adjustment, the Bass switch can be moved whenever
desired.
(See Diagram 5)
Painting the Speakers
If the speakers are to be painted, we recommend that it be done
before the speakers are actually installed. However, it is possible to
paint the speakers post-installation. Simply remove them from the
wall by reversing the order of the steps for installation described
earlier in this manual.
The paint masks provided in the carton must be installed between
the grille and flange while they are being painted. Be sure to
remove the white plastic blanket from beneath the grille before
painting the speaker. Once the grille has been painted, remove

CAUTION: Excessive tightening may torque the baffle, crack the
wall, cause the white bezel to distort and make it difficult to seat
the grille within the grooves.

Be careful not to clog the holes of the grille. The sound of the
speakers will be dramatically reduced if the perforations in the
grille are covered in paint.
EMPHASYS recommends only light spray painting using five parts
