Installing the Yarden 8-T This section explains how to install the Yarden 8-T, that is: Choosing the best place to locate your speaker (see Section 4.1) Connecting the wires (see Section 4.2) Determining the number of speakers (see Section 4.3) ...
The red wires connect to the + pins and the black wires connect to the – pins. Determining the Number of Speakers Needed and their Location When installed in a room with a standard ceiling height of 2.7m (8.8 feet), the optimal distance between the speakers is about 10 meters.
If the size of the room only requires a single speaker, we recommend using the mono/stereo speaker for speech or music as required (see Figure 6 Figure Figure 6: Stereo Layout If the size of the room requires more than one speaker, use two or more mono speaker models (see Figure Yarden 8-T - Installing the Yarden 8-T...
Figure 7: Mono Layout Preparing the Yarden 8-T for Operation Once the location of the speaker is determined, prepare the speaker for operation as follows: 1. Move each of the pivoting tweeters outward in an angle that is suited to the room shape and size.
Figure 8: Adjust Tap Selector 6. Place the speaker temporarily in place, and test the audio quality. 7. If you are satisfied, disconnect the amplifier and remove the speaker from the ceiling. If not, change the position of the tweeters and check the audio quality again until you are happy with the results.
Figure 9: Fitting the Tile Size Speaker 2. Secure the speaker by connecting the speaker support ring to an independent secure ceiling anchor point (see Figure 10) as appropriate. The anchor prevents the speaker from falling if the tile itself comes out or falls apart. Yarden 8-T - Installing the Yarden 8-T...
