5. Fill the wall cavity with insulation at this
point. Remember to use equal amounts
of insulation for each speaker.
Installing the Speaker
If the grille is already
installed, remove it by
using a bent paper clip or
the tip of a corkscrew and
pulling it away from the
frame (See Figure 12).
1. Separate the speaker wire so
that at least two inches of each conduc-
tor are free.
2. Strip one half inch of insulation from the
end of each conductor of the speaker wire.
3. If you have gold pin connectors which
you wish to use, affix them to the stripped
wire ends now.
4. Connect one stripped wire end (or con-
nector) to the black and one to the red termi-
nal. Pay attention to the markings on the
wire. Each speaker must be connected to the
amplifier in the same way.
5. Slip the bracket through the hole. Orient
the speaker so that the speaker is level.
Secure the speaker and the bracket by tight-
ening the baffle screws. Do not overtighten
the screws, this will distort the frame and the
grilles will not fit (this is not permanent, just
loosen the screws and the grille will pop in).
The screws should pull the speaker and
bracket together (sandwiching the drywall) so
that the frame is absolutely flush with the wall
surface. There should be no gaps between
the wall and the frame (See Figure 13).
6. Carefully fit the grille into its recess so that
it is barely in place. Starting with one corner,
go around the speaker, pushing the grille in a
little bit each time. You should be gentle, the
aluminum grille can be easily bent out of
shape. The speaker will have an absolutely
flush appearance when it is fully in place.
Installing a Niles MS-1 MicroSensor™
There is a 1/2" round molded "IR Sensor
Knockout" on the face of the
speaker baffle. To prevent dam-
age to the crossover network
you must remove the
knockout from the rear of
the speaker. Do not attempt
to remove the knockout
with the speaker face up.
Lay the speaker face down on
a clean carpet or rug. Put the tip
of a screwdriver into the center of
the round "knockout" and sharply tap the
screwdriver handle as necessary. Install
the MS-1 using its mounting hex nut and
washer so that it is tightly secured to the
speaker. Connect all wires and continue
your installation.
