introduction
Thank you for purchasing an a/d/s/ in-wall speaker system. Please read the following instructions
carefully. Following these instructions will ensure that your system will deliver the best possible
performance.
cautions
To reduce risk of injury because of an accident, be careful when working on a ladder or other high places.
about this manual
In-wall speakers can be used with many different receivers/televisions or amplifiers. They are designed to
be powered by an amplifier with a minimum of 20 watts of power.
features
tweeter
The C-series in-wall tweeters incorporate a 1" soft dome, and Ferrofluid™ voice coil damping.
tweeter protection
A solid state device reduces power to the tweeter when the loudspeaker is operated at unsafe power
levels. It resets automatically when power is reduced to a safe level. Note: the tweeter protector provides
a significant level of protection. However, it does not guarantee that the tweeter cannot be damaged.
Always be careful when operating the speakers at a high volume level.
woofer
The polypropylene woofer employs a barium ferrite magnet structure for well damped, extended bass and
high efficiency.
