NXG recommends the use of 16-gauge wire minimum. For wire options consult your retailer

or custom audio contractor

1. NXG

Architectural Speakers are designed to be installed in the ceiling or wall area between

studs. Using a stud finder, make sure you are between two studs. Tape the supplied template to

the wall and lightly trace around the inside with a pencil.

2. Cut the hole using your drywall saw. You may want to start with a small hole in the center of

the outline.

This will allow you to check for any obstructions that may exist behind the desired

location. CAUTION: Be certain electrical wiring, water pipes or heating ducts do not interfere in

the planned installation areas prior to drilling or cutting the wall.

3. Run speaker wire from your amplifier or speaker switching device to the speaker location.

4. Carefully remove the grille and inner grille backing. (Note: The open cell foam inner grille backing

is designed to hide speaker components from view and may be removed if desired.) If you like the

standard white finish of your NXG speakers, skip to step 5, but if if you want your speakers to blend

in with a colored wall or ceiling, now is the time to paint your speaker’s outer frame and perforated

grille. (Remove the foam inner grille backing and put it aside in a clean and dust free area for later

reinstallation if desired.) The speaker’s outer surface will accept ordinary latex wall paint or aerosol

spray paint. Because the speaker baf

fle surface behind the grille should remain unpainted, you will

need to cover this area with the supplied cardboard paint mask. Cover the speaker

’

s interior black

surface, woofer and tweeter. Paint the outer speaker frame and grille separately. (Grille painting hint:

Use a paint roller that is nearly out of paint to first paint the inside of the grille, then the outside. This

will avoid paint filling the grille perforations.)

5. Attach the wire to the input terminals on the rear of the speaker. Remember to maintain proper

polarity with the amplifier by attaching the positive (+) lead to the red terminal and the negative (-)

lead to the black terminal.

Congratulations on choosing NXG In-Ceiling

Loudspeakers. Like all NXG products, great

care has been taken in their design. Their

combination of advanced engineering and

state-of-the-art materials will provide you

with years of listening pleasure, while blending

smoothly into your home’s decor. Before you

get started, it is a good idea to identify all the

parts and hardware (See Fig. 1).

(1) on each side of, (2) just behind,

or (3) in back of the viewing position.

Where To Place Your In-Ceiling Speakers

Placement can make all the difference in how your speakers sound, and how easy they will be to

install. Carefully consider where your speakers should be positioned. For optimum performance,

speakers should be mounted to the left and right of the main listening area and a minimum of 8 to 10

feet apart (See Fig. 2). Avoid mounting speakers in stud cavities containing electrical wiring, heating

ducts, water pipes, etc. Make sure the ceiling materials are sturdy enough to support the weight of

the speakers.

Adjustable Tilt-Swivel Tweeter Island (Fig. 3)

The tweeter island in the NXG ceiling speakers can be directed toward the listening area allowing

you to tailor the speaker's dispersion pattern to better fit the desired listening area. The overall

smoothest response is achieved with the tweeter island facing straight out; however, you may find

the sound more pleasing by aiming the tweeters toward a particular listening position. To adjust

the tweeter island direction, you can rotate the tweeter housing as shown in Fig. 3a.

Speaker Installation In Existing Construction (See Fig. 4 on reverse)

Once you have selected the location for your speakers, you are ready to install them.

You will need the following:

• Stud Finder • Drill & Drill Bits • Wire Cutter/Strippers • Speaker Wire

• Pencil • Phillips Screwdriver • Utility Knife or Drywall Saw • Masking Tape

FIG. 4 (Continued from front) 6. See Fig. 5. With the speaker wire attached to the speaker, slide the speaker up inside the cut-out hole. Center the speaker in the cut-out hole and turn the four locking screws clockwise until the speaker is drawn up snugly to the wall board from behind, clamping the speaker in place. Try to tighten each screw equally. Replace the speaker grill by gently pressing it into place. New Construction 1.
