NS-E2111 2-way Indoor/Outdoor Speakers
Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Insignia product.
Your NS-E2111 Insignia speakers are designed to provide exceptional
performance and value. These speakers are designed to reproduce
music and speech in a home environment at moderate volume levels.
When used within their limits, they will provide many years of
trouble-free performance.
Package contents
Setting up your speakers
For best performance, you must connect the speaker wires correctly. All
two-conductor wire is marked in some way to help you do this. One side will
be marked with a colored stripe, a raised rib, or a dierent-color conductor. Use
the marked side for the “red” connections.
Connecting the speakers
1 Connect the red speaker terminals to the red (+) amplier terminals.
2 Connect the black speaker terminals to the black (-) amplier terminals.
To verify connections:
1 Switch your amplier to MONO and place your speakers close to each other.
2 Adjust the balance control so that only one speaker is playing.
3 Listen to the bass level and adjust the balance control so that both speakers
are playing. If the bass decreases when both speakers are playing, one of the
speakers is connected incorrectly, and the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals should have the speaker cables reversed.
Installing the brackets (optional)
You can connect the speakers to wall-mount brackets for elevated wall
positioning.
1 Screw the wall-mount brackets onto the wall where you want to mount the
speakers. If the location is backed by wall studs, you can use the wood
screws provided. If the location is backed by only dry wall (gypsum board or
other wall material), use wall anchors (not included).
2 Slide a speaker into each mounting bracket.
3 Line up the screw holes (one on top, one on bottom), then screw a knob
into each hole to secure the speaker to the bracket. You can loosen the knob
to adjust the direction the speakers are pointing.
Adjusting volume
• If you hear distortion, immediately reduce the volume. Permanent speaker
damage can occur within seconds. Distortion indicates that the amplier or
speaker is operating beyond its design limits. Do not ignore distortion just
because the volume control is not all the way up.
Most ampliers deliver full power when the volume control is set near the
middle of its range. Using loudness, bass boost, treble boost, or an equalizer
can produce full output at even lower settings, so distortion is the only true
indicator that damage is imminent.
• Almost any speaker can be used with almost any amplier, but almost any
speaker can be damaged by almost any amplier (despite either unit’s
power rating). Insignia’s power recommendations are accurate only if our
assumptions concerning the amplier, the type of music, and the
conditions of use are correct. Our most important assumption is that the
volume is never set above the point of distortion.
Positioning your speakers
Because of their excellent, o-axis response and dispersion, your speakers’
positioning is less critical than for most speakers. Often, placing them where
they t best into the room design is all that is necessary for exceptional
performance. If you are installing your speakers outdoors, select locations
facing your listening area that are protected from rain and snow, and out of
direct sunlight.
Maintaining your speakers
• Maintain the nish of your speakers by wiping the surface with a damp cloth.
• To clean the grilles, you can vacuum them or gently tap them.
