Connecting Speaker Cables
The Platinum In-Ceiling II has one set of terminals for single wiring. Single wiring is achieved by using a single set
of cables to the binding posts on the side of the speaker. Internally the speaker crossover guides the frequencies to
the appropriate driver/tweeter - low frequencies to the bass drivers, mid frequencies to the mid/bass driver and high
frequencies to the tweeter.
The binding posts are the sprung for ease of use and will accept bare wire only.
Press down on the binding post to reveal the through hole and pass the bare wire through the hole. Release the
binding post and it will automatically clamp the cable in place. Ensure there are no loose strands of cables to cause
a short circuit.
Level Adjustment Switches
The Platinum In-Ceiling II comes with a pair of switches to adjust the mid and high frequency levels. These are located
on the front of the cabinet by the driver opening, and adjustment will either boost or attenuate the mid-range and
tweeter levels by +/-1dB. There are separate switches for each unit, and experimentation is recommended to achieve
the perfect combination for your environment.
Painting the Grilles
NOTE: If choosing to paint the grille, we recommend you follow these simple steps:
1.
Remove the membrane scrim from the inside of the grille.
2.
Paint all grilles required for the installation with the same batch of paint (if they are to be the same colour).
Spray paint is easier to apply or use a stippling action when brushing to avoid blocking the holes of the grille.
3.
When dry, attach the spare membrane scrim (where supplied) into the inside of the grille.
4.
Fit the grille to the speaker (s).
Running-In Your Platinum In-Ceiling II
Run your speakers in by playing normal music at low-mid listening levels for approximately 50-70 hours play time.
You may find the sound will continue to improve even after the 70 hour mark.
This can be done naturally over time: like a fine wine the performance will improve with age.
