The HTseries offer the perfect combination of style and performance to meet the most exacting audio and interior design standards.
high frequency contour switch A 3-position switch located on the tweeter plate serves as a high frequency contour control. The upper position offers a “normal” response suitable for most applications. The bottom position provides the most output and is recommended for off-axis listening or if the speakers are mounted very high. The center position provides the least and is recommended for reflective “bright” rooms. The upper position is the best starting point.
installation precautions and tips Please read these instructions completely for the best enjoyment of your HT Series speakers. When you cut into the wall to install the speaker, do not cut through the facing or insulation that may be behind the wall. This facing is a moisture barrier. Use duct tape or wide vinyl tape to seal any cuts. Keep debris and loose material away from the installation location. Do not allow debris to get in the openings of the woofer basket.
preparing the wall or ceiling cutout Confirm there is at least 1" between the final cutout and nearby studs or joints for positioning mounting hardware. Temporarily fasten the stiff paper template (supplied) to the wall with thumbtacks. Carefully trace around the perimeter with a pencil. Before making the final cutout of the entire hole, first make a small 4-inch"test" cutout in the center of your penciled outline. Reach your hand inside to verify that studs are outside the outline.
7. Insert the speaker assembly on an angle so that one of the mounting brackets enters the opening first. (fig. 1) fig1 8. Turn the speaker toward the wall so that the other mounting bracket enters the mounting hole and the speaker is seated on the wall. (fig. 2) fig2 9. Hold the speaker in place in the mounting hole and begin tightening the mounting screws to draw the mounting bracket against the backside of the wall.
removing the grille Should it be necessary to remove the grille, insert an awl or other pointed tool into a grille hole near the corner. Gently lift the grille out of the speaker frame. Repeat this procedure at each corner of the grille, gradually lifting the corners of the grille until it is removed. Be careful not to allow anything to touch the woofer cones or tweeter domes while the grille is removed.
