In either case, Performance Series speakers require a 30 Litre (1.1 ft3) minimum back box volume in order to reach their full audio performance potential.

In some areas it is required to have a fire-rated back box as a fire safety barrier. Ensure that the surrounding materials meet the flammability Class 5VA.
- Page 13 In-wall Speakers If a pair of Performance Series in-wall speakers are required for stereo audio reproduction, they should ideally be located between 3 m (10 ft) and 5 m (16.5 ft) apart and a similar distance from the listening area. They should ideally be mounted approximately at head height when seated at the listening position or slightly higher.
- Page 14 Aim to avoid corner positions if possible for any speaker installation. Note Performance Series in-ceiling and in-wall speakers are fully appropriate for use in 5.1(2), 7.1(2), 9.1(2) multi- channel systems. Performance Series in-ceiling speakers are suitable for use in Dolby Atmos® installations. Note The nature of the installation of in-ceiling and in-wall speakers means that it is sometimes impractical to locate them in acoustically optimal positions.

- Page 16 Note These installation instructions broadly assume that speaker cables are pre-installed in ceilings and walls. To install a Performance Series in-ceiling speaker, proceed as described in the following paragraphs and accompanying diagrams: Separate the Speaker Module from its Installation Frame by gripping the tweeter arm and turning entire Speaker Module anti-clockwise with respect to the Installation Frame.
- Page 17 Use low resistance speaker cable with clear polarity marking on its insulation. Low resistance is especially important if the length of cable from amplifier to speaker exceeds 5 m. Your local Dynaudio retailer or distributor will be able to offer advice on speaker cable selection if required.
- Page 18 Connect the positive and negative conductors from each amplifier channel to one set of red and black speaker terminals. Ensure that the positive conductors are connected to red terminals and the negative conductors are connected to black terminals. Performance Series User manual...
- Page 19 Mono mode Mono mode is appropriate if the P4-DVC65 is to be connected to a single amplifier channel. Connect the positive conductor to the left hand red terminal and the negative conductor to the right hand black terminal. Use a short length of cable to connect the remaining two terminals together.

- Page 21 In-ceiling speaker installation is completed by fitting the grille. The grille is secured magnetically and requires no more than placing into position. Note Square Performance Series in-ceiling speaker grilles are optionally available. Magnetic attachment enables square grilles to be rotated as required to align perfectly with ceiling or wall lines. Note If the ceiling is to be painted following speaker installation, Speaker Units should first be removed from their Installation Frames.
- Page 22 Low resistance is especially important if the length of cable from amplifier to speaker exceeds 5 m. Your local Dynaudio retailer or distributor will be able to offer advice on speaker cable selection if required.
- Page 23 With the cut-out checked, and the cable connected the speaker can be installed. Insert the Speaker Unit into place and while holding it against the wall with one hand use the other hand to turn the four cross-head screws clockwise untill they are tight. Do not over-tighten the screws. Turning the screws first rotates the four internal securing clamps and then moves them inwards to secure the Speaker Unit against the inner surface of the drywall (plasterboard).
- Page 24 The high frequency tonal balance of the Performance Series speakers can be adjusted to suit different installation environments. A tweeter level switch located on the Speaker Unit front bezel offers +3 dB, 0 dB and -3 dB options. The level adjustment operates from approximately 3 kHz upwards.
- Page 25 Note If the wall is to be painted following speaker installation, the speakers must be protected from paint ingress. This can be achieved using paper cut to size and secured with masking tape. Speaker grilles should be painted before being fitted. In-wall Speaker Installation...
