dito PRO Eco Series Installation

Eco-Series
Congratulations! You have purchased a high quality
stereo loudspeaker. When matched to comparable
electronic equipment, expect years of quality high fidelity
sound. Our belief is that music matters and we are
focused on delivering superlative music reproduction
everywhere in your home.
The following manual is designed to give you, the
installer or owner, basic information as to the speaker's
installation and operation. It is beyond the scope of this
manual to go into all the details that must be taken into
consideration in a sophisticated high fidelity system.
When installing the wiring and speakers it is important to
adhere to all local codes and regulations. Consulting a
professional can help to maximize your system's perfor-
mance.
If you have any questions regarding this speaker which
are not answered by this manual, contact your local
dealer for assistance. For the most current information

MINIMUM TOOLS REQUIRED
# 2 Phillips Head Screw Driver / Drill Driver
Wire Cutter / Stripper
Other Possible Tools: Tape Measure, Pencil, Ladder,
Drywall Saw, Stud-Finder, etc.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These two-way speakers have specially designed woofers
with linear long throw butyl rubber surrounds for long
life and superior damping. Dome tweeters are utilized for
excellent high frequency dispension throughout your
entire listening environment.
SHIPPING DAMAGE
Each speaker is throughly tested before it leaves the
factory. However, in shipment, accidents may occur.
Please inspect your speakers carefully when you receive
them to make sure there is no damage. If there is, please
notify your dealer or supplier inmediately for assistance.
If you received your speakers by public transportation,
report the damage inmediately to the shipping company.
AMPLIFIER OPERATION
These speakers will perform well with amplifiers from 5
to 125 Watts RMS. However, damage to the speakers can
be done by amplifiers of nearly any power rating if the
amplifier is overdriven into clipping. "Amplifier clipping"
is a phrase used to describe a condition when, because of
the volume demand, an amplifier is being asked for more
power than it can give. Clipping cause distortion of the
audio signal. If you should hear an unusual amount of
distortion at high listening levels then consider reducing
the volume.
DAMAGE TO A SPEAKER BY CLIPPING IS NOT COVERED
UNDER THE WARRANTY.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Placement of in-ceiling and in-wall speakers should be
carefully considered. Please contact a professional for
assistance if you are uncomfortable with the planning or
installation process.
Ideally, the speakers should be located where they will
provide the best possible sound and ease of installation.
It is beyond the scope of this publication to discuss all of
the various aspects of speakers placement, but here are
some helpful suggestions.
For the front channels of a home theater we recommend
that the speakers be placed between and 36 inches
(0.45m to 0.9m) from an adjacent wall/surface, as
measured to the center of the hole. Avoid placing the
speakers less than 12 inches (0.3m) fom an adjacent wall.
When placing speakers near a corner, avoid locating them
an equal distance from the two adjacent surfaces.
If the drywall has not yet been installed, rough-in-kits are
available to reserve the speakers location. The hole is
then cut when the drywall is installed.
WIRING
To achieve maximum performance we recommend that
the speaker cable be at least 16 gauge or larger for runs
over 50 feet (15m) and that the cable be double
insulated. A CL-2 or CL-3 rated cable may be required.
Check local codes. "Zip cord", which is single insulated
and is often made with clear insulation, should be
avoided as it s not as durable. Allow about 2½ feet
(0.8m) of free cable at the speaker cut-out and sufficient
length at the other end to reach the electronics. Having
to add extra cable later can be tedious and time consum-
ing.
Avoid bundling speaker cables parallel to electrical cables
for extended lenghts. Though the impedance is low and
the likehood of interference low, this means ensuring the
same wire which is connected to the positive terminal of
the amplifiers has its other end connected to the positive
terminal of the speakers. It is important to check this on
all speakers. If the connections on one of the speakers
are reversed, (out of phase) the sound quality will be
impaired.
