How to Guide

AT THE SPEAKER END
1. Cut off excess wire, leaving about 2 feet
extending through the speaker cut-out hole
for the left and right channel.
2. Pull the conductors apart so they’re separated
for the first two inches from their ends.
3. Using wire strippers, diagonal pliers or a
knife, remove
1
/
2
inch of insulation from
each conductor.
4. Twist the tiny strands in each conductor into
tight spirals, as shown in Drawing 7.
5. IMPORTANT: Route the speaker wires
THROUGH the hole in the ceiling (Drawing 8).
6. Attach the left speaker wires to one set of red
and black speaker terminals. Press down
on the protruding levers while inserting the
wire into the hole.
• Connect the POSITIVE (+) conductor to
the RED terminal and the NEGATIVE (-)
conductor to the BLACK speaker terminal.
• Make sure that no stray strands of wire
have gotten detached and are touching the
other main wire.
Repeat the connection for the right channel
wire to the other set of input terminals (Note:
It does not matter which is right and which
is left).
AT THE AMPLIFIER END
1. Cut off excess wire, leaving enough to com-
fortably reach from the hole in the wall to
your stereo system. If there’s a possibility that
you’re going to move the amplifier to ano-
ther part of the room, consider leaving some
excess wire coiled up. If you’ve used suffi-
ciently thick wire, this extra length will
not affect speaker performance and
could make things easier if the room is
rearranged later.
2. Pull the conductors on both speaker wires
apart so they’re separated for the first two
inches.
3. Using wire strippers, diagonal pliers or a
knife, remove
1
/
2
inch of insulation from
each conductor.
4. Twist the tiny strands in each conductor
into tight spirals.
5. Attach the speaker wires to the red and black
speaker terminals on the amplifier or receiver.
• Connect the POSITIVE (+) conductor to
the RED terminal and the NEGATIVE (-)
conductor to the BLACK speaker terminal.
• Make sure that no stray strands of wire
have gotten detached and are touching the
other main wire.

FINAL ASSEMBLY
1. If you haven’t done so already during paint-
ing, remove the perforated grilles from
your Muro Ceiling Speaker. To remove
the grille, just use the mounting screw (dog
leg) on the rear to push the grille off.
2. See Drawing 9. Make sure all the clamping
brackets (dog legs) are turned inward as
shown in the picture before going up on the
ladder to install the unit in the ceiling.
3. Find the wires you ran previously (hopefully
hanging down through the hole you cut).
Strip the ends if you haven’t already done so
and connect as described in Section F.
4. Insert the speaker into the cutout hole and
be certain the wires are not hanging down
on the woofer cone.
5. Using a Phillips screwdriver (or powered
screwdriver, recommended), start tightening
the four screws. As you start the tightening
each of the mounting brackets (dog legs) will
swing around and follow the screw down to
the back of the wall and clamp the speaker
into place. Avoid excessive force when
tightening the screws to prevent deforming
the drywall or breaking the plastic clamp of
the speaker. Be sure to go around all four
screws and check for even tightness in the
clamping pressure.
6. Replace the grille by gently pressing it into
place. Use the supplied black grille adhesive
around the edge of the grille when pressing
it into place.
7. Repeat the above steps for the other speaker.
At this point you are finished with the installation.

A SHORT TEST DRIVE
It’s a good idea to test everything out at this
point. Also, although we’ve paid close attention
to speaker polarity, we haven’t concerned our-
selves with which wires went to left and right
inputs. If you have connected your new Muro
Ceiling Speaker to the rear “surround” output of
your receiver, you will need to put your receiver
in the “Pro-Logic” or “Digital” mode and use a
source such as a DVD player or Hi-Fi VCR and
suitably recorded movie to test your receiver sur-
round operation.
1. Turn on your stereo system. Make sure that
the VOLUME control is turned down and that
the BALANCE control is set to center.
2. Activate a musical source such as FM, a tape
or CD player.
3. Gently turn up the volume. You should hear
music coming out of your new B.I.C Muro
Ceiling Speaker! (If you don’t, refer to the
troubleshooting guide below.
4. Now rotate the stereo’s BALANCE control all
the way to the LEFT. Sound should come out
of your speaker.
5. Rotate the BALANCE control all the way to
the RIGHT. Sound should come out of the
speaker.
6. If this is the case, your installation is a success.
We suggest you read the section on the next
page titled “Taking care of your new
Muro Speakers” (for further operating tips).
