Where To Place Your In-Ceiling Speakers (Fig. 2)

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. 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. Optimum performance will be achieved

when your speakers are mounted to the left and right of the main listening area.

Pivoting Tweeters (Fig. 3)

The tweeters in all NXG Pro Series speakers may be adjusted, allowing you to focus the speakers’ high

frequency output to better fit the listening area. The overall smoothest response is achieved with the tweeter

facing straight out: however, you may find the sound more pleasing by aiming tweeters toward a particular lis-

tening area. To adjust the tweeter, apply pressure on the ring surrounding the tweeter with your thumb or

finger.

Tweeter Level Adjustments (Fig. 4)

The tweeter level control allows you to tailor the speakers’ frequency response to better match the room’s

acoustics. As an example, if a room has a hardwood floor, which makes it acoustically brighter sounding,

you may want to adjust the tweeter level down to compensate. You can experiment to find the sound that’s

most pleasing to you in your particular listening environment.

Speaker Installation In Existing Construction (See Fig. 5 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

• Pencil • Utility Knife or Drywall Saw • Small Level

• Masking Tape • Phillips Screwdriver • Speaker Wire

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 cavities between wall studs. Using a stud

finder, make sure you are between two studs. Using the supplied template and a level to ensure your tem-

plate is straight, tape the template to the wall and lightly trace around the outside 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. 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. The speaker’s outer surface will accept ordinary latex wall paint or aerosol spray paint.

Because the speaker baffle surface behind the grille should remain unpainted, you will need to cover this

area with the supplied 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.

(Continued from front) 6. See Fig. 6. 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.
