TRU Audio CP-6 User Manual

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.
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. If the speakers are
mounted away from the listening area, adjust the tweeter
so it is pointing toward it.
Prep before Speaker Installation
If you're 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 in not already insulated, we suggest
adding insulation, Dacron or some other sound dampening
CP-6, CP-8, CPD-6, CPD-8
material. If this material has a foil layer, position the foil
away from the speaker magnet.
Swivel Tweeters
The adjustable, swivel tweeter allows you to point the
sound towards or away from the listening area, depending
on the room design and furniture location. If your model
includes this feature, gently push the edge of the tweeter
housing to aim the tweeter to the desired area. Be careful
not to damage the tweeter during this procedure.
Setting Level Controls
Tweeter Level control: Some models offers level control for
tweeter volume. You can use this control to get more or
less high frequency. Turn the knob to each setting until you
get the desired amount of high frequency. The adjustments
are 3dB, 0dB and –3 dB.
Woofer Level control: Some models also offer level control
for the bass output of your speaker. Like the tweeter
control, you can adjust the bass volume by turning the
knob to each setting until you get the desired sound. The
adjustments are 3dB, 0dB and –3 dB.
If only two channels (R & L) of your amplifier are driving
more than one pair of speakers, TRUAUDIO suggests
using the lowest output position for the woofer until you
can make sure the amplifier can handle the additional
woofer settings.
We also suggest setting your Tweeter levels first and then
matching the bass output to get the overall sound you
desire.
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.
