Congratulations on choosing an Elura In-
Ceiling Loudspeaker. Like all Elura products,
great care has been taken in their design.
Their combination of advanced engineering
and state-of-the-art materials will provide you
with years of listening pleasure, while blending
smoothly into your home's decor. Before you
get started, it is a good idea to identify all the
parts and hardware (See Fig. 1).

Placing Your Ceiling Speaker for Dual Channel Stereo Operation

Placement can make all the difference in how your speakers sound, and how easy they
will be to install. Carefully consider where your speaker should be positioned. For
optimum dual channel stereo performance, the speaker should be mounted as close as
possible to the center of the main listening area as shown in FIG. 2 position 1.

For Rear Center Surround or Single Channel Surround Operation

For surround rear center, mount the speaker as shown in FIG. 2 position 2. (Note: Connect
the two rear channel outputs from your receiver to the two sets of input terminals on the
speaker, as shown in FIG. 6.) Avoid mounting the speaker in stud cavities containing
electrical wiring, heating ducts, water pipes, etc. Make sure the wall or ceiling materials
are sturdy enough to support the weight of the speaker.

Tweeter Level Adjustments

The tweeter level control allows you to tailor the speaker's frequency response to better
match the room's acoustics. As an example, if a room has a hardwood floor, which makes
it acoustically brighter sounding, you may want to adjust the tweeter level down to
compensate. You can experiment to find the sound that's most pleasing to you in your
particular listening environment.

Speaker Installation In Existing Construction

Once you have selected the location for your speakers, you are ready to install them.
You will need the following:
• Stud Finder
• Drill & Drill Bits
• Pencil
• Phillips Screwdriver
NOTE: (See Fig. 5 on the back) If you plan to use the optional back can enclosure,
you need to attach it now (refer to back can manual for installation instructions).
Elura recommends the use of 16-gauge wire minimum. For wire options consult your
retailer or custom audio contractor.
1. Elura Speakers are designed to be installed in the ceiling or wall area between studs.
Using a stud finder, make sure you are between two studs. Tape the supplied template to
the wall and lightly trace around it with a pencil.
2. Cut the hole using your drywall saw. You may want to start with a small hole in the
center of the outline. This will allow you to check for any obstructions that may exist be-
hind the desired location. CAUTION: Be certain electrical wiring, water pipes or heating
ducts do not interfere in the planned installation areas prior to drilling or cutting the wall.
3. Run speaker wires from your
amplifier or speaker switching
device to speaker location.
4. Carefully remove the grille
and set it aside where it
won't get bent.
