[INSTALLATION GUIDELINES]
When selecting the speaker mounting location, it is prudent to take a few extra minutes to carefully inspect and measure the wall or ceiling area where you
intend to mount the CI in-wall speaker. An inspection of the room or rooms that back-up to the wall you have selected for mounting the CI in-wall speaker,
can often alert you to potential obstacles. For example, if the wall you want to mount into happens to be the common wall for a bathroom or kitchen, there
is a good chance you will encounter water or sewer pipes in the wall that will not be detected by a stud-finder. An electronic stud-finder is a useful tool to
assist you in selecting the speaker placement, however be cautious as they often give false readings.
Choose the appropriate mounting location for each speaker.
NOTE: When deciding upon a location, consider the following:
• Be certain your speaker wires can be run to or are accessible from these locations.
• Make certain the wall or ceiling material is sturdy enough to support the weight and vibration of the speakers.
• It is recommended that our pre-construction rough-in brackets be used whenever possible in new construction.
• Be certain the area behind the speaker is free of obstacles such as wall studs, electrical wiring, pipes, etc.
• Each subwoofer should be positioned properly, relative to the listening area for good
coverage. Mounting the speaker close to the floor or ceiling and close to the side wall
improve the bass output.
• Since the IW-210 is an 8 ohms speaker system, it is possible to operate 2 of the IW-210 subwoofers in
parrallel off of a single P350 amplifier.
[SPEAKER INSTALLATION]
STEP 1: Note: If you used a rough in bracket and the hole is already cut in the drywall proceed to step .2
The cutout opening for the IW-210 is 22.375" H x 13" W. Place the cutout template against the wall surface and align it using your bubble level and tape
measure. Hold, tape or staple the template in place and trace around the perimeter of the template with a pencil. Remove the template and begin cutting
on the pencil line.
STEP 2: When the cutout is complete, carefully remove the drywall piece from the opening. You now have a large opening to facilitate pulling your speaker
wire. We recommend 16 gauge or heavier wire be used with the IW-210 Subwoofer. Contact your Phase Technology
STEP 3: Carefully remove the speaker from the aluminum flange assembly and set it aside. Remove the flange assembly from the packing carton. You
will find two L-shaped foam gaskets in the bottom of the carton. Peel the removable tape from the gasket and stick the adhesive side to the backside of the
frame flange. Upon installation of the flange assembly the gasket will contact the front wall surface to form an airtight seal.
STEP 4: When you remove the flange assembly from the packing carton, you will notice the screws used to retain the clamp assembly are fully extended.
To place the flange assemblies into the wall push the clamp assemblies toward the center of the flange opening; the holes in the flange will allow the
mounting screws to tilt toward the center opening enough to insert the flange assembly into the wall. Insert the right side into the wall cutout and slide
the complete assembly to the right. This will enable you to then fit the left side clamp assembly into the cutout. Center the entire assembly in the opening.
STEP 5: Pinch the self-aligning clamp assembly inside the wall until it contacts the backside of the drywall surface. This will force the three retaining
screws to protrude from the front of the flange. Continue to hold the clamp with one hand and use the electric screwdriver to tighten the center screw of
the flange. Once snug, repeat the procedure on the other clamp assembly. Using your level, verify the mounting frame is correctly aligned in the opening.
Make any necessary adjustments then tighten the remaining screws until the frame is snug and securely clamping the wallboard. Avoid over-tightening
the screws.
STEP 6: You are now ready to install the speaker baffle into the mounting flange. The IW-210 has a terminal block mounted to the top of the
enclosure. Loosen the terminal screws and attach the speaker input wire to the appropriate screw terminals; the red wire to the positive and the black to the
negative.
STEP 7: You are now ready to install the speaker baffle in the flange. Carefully insert the speaker baffle into the wall flange until it bottoms out
against the flange. Six screws are supplied to secure the baffle to the flange. Hold the baffle in position and start 1 screw each at the opposite corners of
the baffle but leave loose. Start the other 4 screws through the baffle into the frame. Now snug down all 6 screws being careful not to over tighten them.
STEP 8: Place the magnetic grille over the flange assembly. This speaker grille may be painted as desired to match the wall color. Most standard
paints can be used and it is recommended that the paint be sprayed on using several light coats so the perforated holes in the grille are not obstructed.
[CARING FOR YOUR PHASE TECHNOLOGY SPEAKER]
All Phase Technology speakers are finished with a high degree of craftsmanship in either hand polished paint or vinyl laminates. We recommend using a
lint-free rag with a small amount of glass cleaner to maintain the long-lasting beauty of the finish. Avoid products containing silicones, oils, oil derivatives,
or solvents. Use a damp cloth on enclosures finished in vinyl laminates.
