Matthew Bramble Technical Director Incognito passive ceiling speakers 3 PREPARING THE LOCATION It is advisable to plan all aspects of installation in advance of work beginning, preferably with the house/flat building schematics if available. Great care should be taken to ensure that all building regulations are followed. When placing the SS10 speakers, thought should be given to positions which give the best desired sound coverage throughout a room, while not interfering with existing or planned light fittings or joists. Also, locate speakers taking into account location of furnishings for optimal stereo reproduction. [. . . ] Move each red dog-leg foot to the LEFT into it's holding slot, and then insert the speaker into the mounting hole. Using a cross-head screwdriver, slowly turn each fixing screw clockwise. This will move the mounting dog-legs out of their slots. Tighten each fixing screw until the mounting dog-legs grip the ceiling. 2. Separate about 100mm of speaker cable at each end. Using a wire stripper, remove about 10mm of insulation from both ends of each conductor, and then twist the strands of each conductor (fig. 1). Observing polarity is of the utmost importance while connecting your speakers. Ensure that the red (+) terminals on your amplification system are connected to the red (+) on the speakers, and black ( -) on your amplification system to black ( - ) on your speakers (fig. 2). The speaker cable is coded with a bead or stripe down one lead's insulation, or has differently coloured wires. Press the spring-loaded red or black tab back to reveal the connecting hole. Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire, then release the tab. If your speakers are wired incorrectly they will be out of phase and sound hollow and indistinct, with a weak bass. Re-check your connections for correct polarity and reverse the connections if necessary. CONNECTING THE SS10 Do not compromise the performance of your system by using inferior quality speaker cables. We recommend that high quality cables of 16 gauge or higher be used. Your professional dealer will give you good advice. powered components before making any loudspeaker or component connections.
