Page 4: Introduction
Because of S4X technology, any of Induction Dynamics’ speakers can be used to build a custom home theater system. Your S1.8iwd can be combined with any of our main, center, and surround speakers, be they in-wall, on-wall, or free-standing. -
Page 5: General Information
7. The S1.8iwd was designed in such a way that the tweeter will be at ear level when the audience is sitting. A pair of S1.8iwd speakers should be placed six feet or more apart. Speakers should be at the same height (with the tweeter at ear level). -
Page 6: Speaker Wire
Use approved wire designed for in-wall or exposed use, as appropriate for your installation. For the S1.8iwd, we recommend using high-quality speaker wire that is 14 gauge or lower, with easily visible polarity coding to make your connections. The following chart identifies minimum gauge requirements for various lengths. -

Speaker Information S4X™ Crossover The heart of Induction Dynamics is found in the S4X Super Fourth-Order Crossover. The patented S4X inductively couples crossover coils and optimizes each driver’s performance, individually and interactively with the other drivers. This greatly increases control over driver range, frequency response, phase and impedance. -
Page 8: Wide Angle Phase Alignment
Induction Dynamics reduces phase differences both horizontally and vertically through our Wide Angle® Phase Alignment technology. Because our patented circuitry provides additional variables that can help control phase, Wide Angle finds the one optimization solution that produces a flat frequency response along both the horiztonal and vertical axis. -
Page 9: Multi-Channel (Home Theater) Installation
A 5.1 system consists of a front left, front right, surround left, suround right, center channel, and subwoofer channel. An S1.8iwd generally functions as a front left or right, but may also be used as surrounds. In a home theater configuration, the main left and right channels should be placed as close to listening height as possible. -
Page 10: New Construction Installation
New Construction Installation In new home construction, or with walls where drywall has not been applied, it is recom- mended that you wait until after the drywall application before installing the easy- mount boxes for the following reasons: 1. The installer gains the control to cut a neat and accurate hole, eliminating possible mis- takes by drywallers. -
Page 11: Locating Loudspeaker Mounting Holes
Locating the Loudspeaker Mounting Holes 1. To find wall studs, use a stud finder. The S1.8iwd will mount between two studs and should be positioned so that the tweeter is at ear level. 2. When you’ve decided on a location, cut a 3” hole in the approximate center of the proposed cutout area. - Page 12 2. There are two speaker wire access holes located at the top of the easy-mount box. The box comes with a solid grommet preinstalled in the large hole and a small size grommet preinstalled in the smaller hole. The grommet hole size you will need depends on the size of the wire you are putting through the hole.

Page 14: Installing The Faceplate
Installing the Faceplate While installing the faceplate, we recommend that an assistant help hold the faceplate. Be careful working with the assembly that you don’t damage any of the speaker components. If the 3” soft dome midrange gets dented in, you can work it back out with your fingertips or carefully use a vacuum cleaner with a hose extension to suck it out. -
