[. . . ] SONANCE THINLINE IN-CEILING SPEAKERS INSTRUCTION MANUAL TM SONANCE THINLINETM TL and SSTR INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing Sonance ThinLineTM TL and SSTR-series speakers. When properly installed your new speakers will give you years of entertainment pleasure. This manual will teach you all about your new speakers' many innovative features and will show you how to get the very best performance from them. The directions in this manual apply to each model in the series. [. . . ] The FlexBracket has perforated wings that can be positioned at any angle around the bracket, and is nailed or screwed to the studs. This serves as a guide for the drywaller so that the speaker hole will be in the desired location once the drywall is installed. Before Installation: Retrofit 1. Determine the location for the speaker (see Speaker Placement on page 4). Perform an obstruction survey to be certain that there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts or air returns in the ceiling cavity that will interfere with the speaker. The cutout for all ThinLine speakers is 8 5/32" (207mm). There also must be at least 3 1/32" (77mm) depth within the ceiling cavity. Position the included cutout template where the speaker is to be located and pencil an outline on the ceiling. · If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole in the center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire into the hole to feel-around for possible obstructions. Cut the mounting hole using a drywall saw, and run the speaker wires from the mounting hole to the amplifier location. · Consult local building codes before running speaker wires through walls. Installation Sonance ThinLine speakers feature exclusive FastMount ® tabs and an integral RotoLock ® mounting system for quick mounting directly into existing ceilings and walls. WARNING: The edges of FastMount tabs are very sharp. Use caution when handling the speaker. 1. Run speaker wire from the amplifier location to each speaker. Gently fit the remaining half of the grille by working around the speaker, fitting the grille into the groove as you go. NOTE: YOU CAN ADJUST THE TORQUE APPLIED TO THE ACHIEVE A PROPER GRILLE FIT.

You can also paint the speakers after installation, but before the grilles are attached. All Sonance ThinLine speakers come from the factory fitted with a plastic `paint plug' that protects the speaker drivers while the mounting flange is being painted. Sonance always suggests painting the grille separately from the speaker. Before painting, carefully remove the under-grille cloth. It is held in place with a light tacking glue that makes it easy to remove. Spray the grilles with thinned paint (5 parts thinner to 1 part paint), being careful not to plug the holes. Too heavy a coat of paint on the grille will adversely affect the sound of the speaker. Once the grilles and flange are painted and dry, replace the under-grille cloth, remove the paint plug from the mounting flange and install the grille. SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS Pivoting Tweeter ThinLine TL623R and TL622R have a pivoting tweeter. This lets you direct sound toward or away from the listening area, depending on how the speakers are being used: · If you're using the speakers in stereo or as the front left/center/right speakers in a home theater, pivot the tweeter directly towards the listening area.
