AMPLIFIER SELECTION SPEAKER PLACEMENT When choosing an amplifier the maximum number of speakers and the output level of each speaker must be known. The sum of the tap settings should never exceed 80% of the amplifier’s rated output. For example, if there are 5 speakers and the taps are set at 15 watts, the load would be 75 watts (5 x 15 watts = 75 watts). To arrive at the needed power for this number of speakers, simply divide the total load by .8. In this case, 75 / .8 = 93.75 watts.
GRILLE PAINTING Painting The Grilles 1. Prime the grille with a metal primer/bonder in a spray can. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s directions on the can. Before You Begin Sonance Professional Series In-Ceiling speaker grilles completely cover the exposed speaker frame, so only the grilles (not the speakers themselves) require painting. 2. We recommend using water-based latex paint on the grilles.
From Power Amplifier Parallel Connection To Next Speaker INSTALLATION STANDARD INSTALLATION Loop Through Connection STEP 1 Cut a hole in the drywall using the supplied cutout template (see figure 4). NOTE: FOR DROP-CEILING INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO PAGE 7 From Power Amplifier From Power Amplifier Loop Thru Connection To Next Speaker To Next Speaker FIGURE 8: LOOP THROUGH CONNECTION FIGURE 4: CUTOUT TEMPLATE NOTE – IF SQUARE GRILLES ARE BEING USED THE ADAPTER FRAME MUST BE INSTALLED AT THIS TIME.
INSTALLATION STEP 4 STEP 8 Make sure the Roto-Lock Clamps are in the full clockwise position so that all the clamps are tucked within the cutout border. Insert the speaker into the hole in the ceiling (see figure 11). After the speaker is installed, and transformer tap adjustments are made, the grille can be installed. NOTE: THE MAXIMUM CLAMP THICKNESS 1.732” (44MM). TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM THICKNESS, UNSCREW AND REVERSE THE FOOT OF THE ROTO-LOCK CLAMPS.
