3. Installation
Installation of the evōQ™ 1000 speakers is best accomplished at multiple times during new construction, at
“Rough-in” before the drywall is installed, and at “Trim-out” after the drywall is installed and painted.
A. “Rough-in” steps:
NOTE: It is recommended that a minimum of 16 gauge, 2 conductor wire be
used for most applications from the amplifier or volume control to the speaker.
Different gauges can, and should, be used based upon the distance of the
intended run or quality of installation (see Figure 2).
NOTE: All On-Q/Legrand lyriQ™ Audio components accommodate wire gauges
from 18 to 14.
1. Run x/2 conductor (x=gauge preference) stranded speaker wire from
the distribution/volume control to the speaker location (pre-wiring).
2. When pre-wiring, leave 4 to 6 feet of wire at the speaker’s intended
location. Use a strip of cardboard stapled to the joints/studs with a
hole through it as a wire place holder for the drywall installers (see
Figure 3).
3. Strip off 3 inches or so of the speaker cable jacket to expose the
positive and negative insulated wires.Strip 3/8-1/2 inch of insulation
off of these conductors.
