SPEAKER INSTALLATION
The unique integral mounting system incorporated into each
Ceiling LCR Series speaker allows for a quick installation by
following these easy steps:
1. Attach the speaker wire, observing the proper polarity with
your amplifier, + to + and – to –. Make sure the appropriate
channel of the amplifier is connected to the correct speaker
(i.e. left, right or surrounds).
2. Be sure the mounting feet are turned inward to clear the
opening, and insert the speaker into the ceiling. Position the
speaker into the hole, being sure that the angled baffle is
pointed toward the intended direction.
Note: The speaker is designed to flex and conform to any
small imperfections in the ceiling's surface. Tighten the screws
on the front of the baffle only enough to make the speaker
become snug against the ceiling.
3. As you tighten the screws, the feet automatically flip into an
outward position (See Diagram 4), and begin to tighten from
the backside, thereby clamping the drywall between the feet
and the speaker.
SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS
The Ceiling LCR Series speaker comes from the factory with the
midrange and tweeter in line with the 15˚ angle of the woofer.
This will result in the optimal directivity of the speaker system.
However, depending on your particular primary listening area,
room acoustics, ceiling height, or personal preference, you may
find the sound more pleasing by pointing the midrange and/or
tweeter in a particular direction.

CAUTION: Avoid touching metal dome tweeters or midrange
speaker surfaces, as damage may occur. Carefully press on the
edge of each pivoting mechanism as indicated. (See Diagram 5)
PAINTING THE GRILLE
We recommend painting your grille prior to installation. If you
decide to paint it in the future, it's best to remove the grille by
simply detaching it from the speaker. Do not paint the grille
while it's installed on the speaker.
Before painting, be sure to remove the cloth material from
beneath the grille. Once painted, place the cloth back to its
position beneath the grille.
For example, if additional treble
is desired in the primary listening
area, point the tweeter toward
that area; and if less treble is
required, point the tweeter away.
Push gently at the edge of the
tweeter to point it in the desired
direction. For optimal directivity
of the midrange, point it towards
the listening area. If you wish to
diffuse the midrange, such as
when using a C1031 as a side-fill
in a 7.1 setup, point the midrange
speaker slightly away from the
listening area.
CAUTION: Overtightening may warp the baffle, crack the
ceiling or cause difficulty in aligning the grille.
4. Reattach the grille onto the speaker baffle.

Tweeter Adjustment:
The switch labeled TREBLE allows
for ±3dB of treble adjustment. Your
speaker shipped with the treble
switch in the middle position,
providing the most linear frequency
response. If you desire more treble,
move the switch to the "+" position,
and the tweeter will play 3dB louder.
If you desire less treble, move the
switch to the "–" position, and
the tweeter will play 3dB softer.
To return to the neutral setting,
move the switch back to the middle
position. (See Diagram 6)
Midrange Adjustment:
The switch labeled MIDRANGE allows for ±3dB of midrange
adjustment. Your speaker shipped with the midrange switch
set to the middle position, providing the most linear frequency
response. If you desire more midrange, move the switch to the
"+" position and the midrange will play 3dB louder. If you desire
less midrange, push the switch to the "–" position and the
midrange will play 3dB softer. To return to the neutral setting,
move the switch back to the middle position. (See Diagram 6)
When painting, be careful not to clog the holes of the grille.
The sound of the speaker will be dramatically reduced if the
perforations in the grille are covered in paint.
Proficient recommends only light spray painting using five
parts thinning agent to one part paint.
