In-ceiling architectural speakers

Locate the desired location for the speaker to be mounted. Check the area for obstructions such
as plumbing, heating ducts or electrical wiring.
Next, locate the wood studs or joists nearest the desired location. Use the supplied speaker
cutout to get the recommended hole dimensions. Position the cutout in the desired location and
outline the speaker opening. If you are not sure of possible obstructions, cut a small hole in the
center of your outline. This will allow you to check for obstructions. If there are no problems
with your mounting location, proceed and cutout the outlined hole.
If the wall or ceiling in not already insulated, we suggest adding insulation, Dacron or some
other sound dampening material. If this material has a foil layer, position the foil away from the
speaker magnet.
Swivel Tweeters
The adjustable, swivel tweeter allows you to point the sound towards or away from the listening
area, depending on the room design and furniture location. If your model includes this feature,
gently push the edge of the tweeter housing to aim the tweeter to the desired area. Be careful not
to damage the tweeter during this procedure.
Setting Level Controls
Tweeter Level control: Some models offers level control for tweeter volume. You can use this
control to get more or less high frequency. Turn the knob to each setting until you get the
desired amount of high frequency. The adjustments are 3dB, 0dB and –3 dB.
Woofer Level control: Some models also offer level control for the bass output of your speaker.
Like the tweeter control, you can adjust the bass volume by turning the knob to each setting until
you get the desired sound. The adjustments are 3dB, 0dB and –3 dB.
If only two channels (R & L) of your amplifier are driving more than one pair of speakers,
TRUAUDIO suggests using the lowest output position for the woofer until you can make sure
the amplifier can handle the additional woofer settings.
We also suggest setting your Tweeter levels first and then matching the bass output to get the
overall sound you desire.
