Nastavení a instalace
1. Planning Your Installation
- Umístění: Choose a suitable location in your wall, ensuring no obstructions like studs, electrical wiring, or plumbing. Use a stud finder to locate studs.
- Odbavení: Ensure sufficient depth behind the wall for the speaker enclosure.
- Zapojení: Plan your speaker wire routing from your amplifier/receiver to the speaker locations.
- Rough-in Kits: For pre-construction, optional M-8R rough-in kits are available (sold separately) to simplify installation.
2. Řezání otvoru
- Carefully trace the speaker cutout template (usually provided with the speaker or found in a separate template kit) onto the wall.
- Pomocí pilky na sádrokarton nebo užitkového nože opatrně řežte podél vyznačené linie.
3. Zapojení reproduktoru
- Run speaker wire through the wall to the cutout opening.
- Odstraňte přibližně 1,2 cm izolace z konců reproduktorových vodičů.
- Připojte kladný (+) pól reproduktoru ke kladnému (+) pólu vašeho amplifier/receiver, and the negative (-) terminal of the speaker to the negative (-) terminal of your amplifier/receiver. Ensure correct polarity for all speakers in your system.
4. Montáž reproduktoru
- Insert the speaker assembly into the wall opening.
- Tighten the mounting screws located on the front baffle of the speaker. These screws activate the metal mounting brackets that pivot out and clamp onto the drywall.
- Důležitá poznámka: Tighten screws firmly but avoid over-tightening, which can warp the speaker frame or damage the wall. Ensure the speaker is flush and secure.
5. Připevnění mřížky
The speaker grilles are designed to fit snugly. Gently press the grille into place until it is flush with the wall. If the grille rattles at high volumes, ensure the speaker is securely mounted and consider adding a thin strip of foam tape around the speaker frame before attaching the grille to improve the fit and reduce vibration.
Návod k obsluze
1. Počáteční zapnutí
Once installed and wired, connect your amplifier/receiver to a power source and turn it on. Start with the volume at a low level and gradually increase it.
2. Adjusting Tweeter and Midrange Levels
The HT8W speakers feature volume-adjustable tweeter and midrange controls on the front baffle (visible when the grille is removed). These controls allow you to fine-tune the sound to your listening environment and personal preference.
