ned)
or
suspended ceilings/ wa

s
with a thickness of up
to
45mm
(1

").
Solid wall insta

ation will
require channelling out and frame work constructed
to
provide a
structure for the
Tri
Grip
dog
legs
to
clamp to. For safety reasons, if you
are unsure of your ability
to
provide a secure and safe fixing,
do
not
attempt
to
fix these speakers, please obtain the services of a competent
and qualified trades person.
&
CAUTION: Ensure that there are no water pipes or electricity
cables running within the wall structure before cutting the
speaker apertures. Work from secure steps and avoid trailing
wires.
Painting
the
Grilles
A_
NOTE: If choosing
to
paint the gri
ll
e,
we recommend you follow
~
these simple steps:
1.
Remove the membrane scrim from the inside of the grille.
2.
Paint
all
grilles required for the installation with the same batch of
paint
(if
they are to be the same colour). Spray paint is easier
to
apply or use a stippling action when brushing
to
avoid bl
ock
in
g the
holes of the grille.
3. When
dry,
attach the spare membrane scrim (where supplied) into
the inside
of
the grille.
4. Fit the gri
ll
e
to
the speaker
(s).

to
the speaker mounting hardware, ceiling/ wall or speaker
frame, and/ or deflection

Speaker
Controls
High
Frequency
Level
Adjust
With the HF setting on the
'O'
position, the speaker will give you a neutral
sound with no additional adjustments made. Switching to the '
+db'
position will give the high frequencies a boost, giving you more clarity and
presence
in
the treble while switching to the '-db' will
do
the opposite.
This position can be useful if you want more prominence
in
the bass
frequencies.
Mid
Frequency
Level
AdJust
With the Mid setting on the '
O'
position, the speaker will give you a neutral
sound with no additional adjustments made. Switching
to
the
'+db'
position
will
give the Mid frequencies a boost, giving you warmer sound
with more presence
in
the vocal register while switching to the
'-db'
will
do
the opposit
e.
Bo
un
dary
Compen
sation
Switch
When a speaker
is
placed near a corner or wall it can sometimes make
the bass too 'boomy' as low frequencies reflect off the nearby surfaces.
If the bass
is
too 'boomy' for your liking then, like a port bung, the
Boundary Compensation switch can be used
to
dampen the bass being
produced by the speaker.
NOTE: As with all audio, the settings you chose
to
use are subject
to your own personal tastes and the affect your room has
on
the
acoustics. Experimentation is strongly advised to find the best
setting for you.
