OEM SE-694KE Installation Manual

For 6-1/2" In-Wall Loudspeakers
Congratulations! You have purchased a high quality
stereo loudspeaker. When matched to comparable
electronic equipment, expect years of quality high
fidelity sound. We are constantly striving to provide
the very best technology has to offer.
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.
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 please visit www.oemsystems.com.
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
dispersion throughout your entire listening
environment. The frame and grille can be custom
painted to match the room decor.
SHIPPING DAMAGE
Each speaker is thoroughly 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 immediately for assistance. If you
received your speakers by public transportation,
report the damage at once 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 causes distortion
of the audio signal. If you should hear an unusual
amount of distortion at high listening levels then
consider reducing the volume. DAMAGE DONE TO
A SPEAKER BY CLIPPING IS NOT COVERED UNDER
THE WARRANTY.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Placement of Wall Mounted Speakers should be
carefully considered. 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 speaker placement. Please contact a
professional for assistance if you are uncomfortable
with the planning or installation process.
Note: Though these speakers are referred to as "wall
mount," they are also suitable for installations in
ceilings and custom cabinetry.
WIRING
To achieve maximum performance from your new
speakers we strongly suggest the use of good quality
stereo cable. There are many good brands available.
We recommend that the cable be at least 16 gauge
or larger for runs of over 50 feet and that the wire
be double insulated. This is often referred to as
"jacketed" speaker cable. "Zip cord," which is single
insulated and is often made with clear insulation,
should be avoided as it is not as durable. It is
important when installing the wiring and speakers
that you adhere to all local codes and regulations.
We suggest that a professional be consulted in
order to maximize your system's performance. The
following, however, are some useful suggestions.
