Because of S4X technology, any of Induction Dynamics’ speakers can be used to build a custom home theater system. Your S1.iw can be combined with any of our main and surround speakers, be they in-wall, on-wall, or free-standing.
If possible, save the shipping cartons for future use. Each S1.iw comes with a parts packet and mounting hole template. The parts packet contains a grille mounting flange driver, a selection of grommets with various hole sizes, four stud screws and a selection of #8 insulated fork terminals.
As you make your decision, consider whether people will be standing or sitting in the listening area. The S1.iw may be mounted upside down (tweeter nearest floor) to achieve the proper tweeter level with the look of a higher mounted speaker.
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.
Induction Dynamics® eliminates phase differences with respect to height 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 the vertical axis, when the microphone (or listener’s...
Use approved wire designed for in-wall or exposed use, as appropriate for your installation. For the S1.iw, we recommend using high-quality speaker wire that is 12 gauge or lower, with easily visible polarity coding to make your connections. The following chart identifies minimum gauge requirements for various lengths.

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.

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 use a vacuum cleaner to suck it out.
The warranty is void if the S1.iw is serviced or altered by anyone other than Induction Dynamics, Inc. the sole remedy for breach of this warranty shall be repair or replace- ment.
