User manual MONITOR AUDIO 300 INSTALLATION

[. . . ] The FX model features a switchable di-pole mode. The technology behind this is also found on the Gold Signature surround speakers, the GSFX. There is a three position switch to control this feature. It can be set to bi-pole (normal operation), di-pole, or trigger. [. . . ] · Series 300 loudspeakers are splash and moisture proof, so they can be used in bathrooms, pool areas, etc. DO NOT allow them to be in constant contact with water/moisture. · The fixing clamps will operate on ceilings/walls with a minimum thickness of 9mm (3/8 Inches) to a maximum depth of 32mm (1¼ Inches). · Do not attempt to fix these speakers to your ceiling/wall if you are unsure of your ability to provide a secure and safe fixing. IF IN DOUBT CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORISED MONITOR AUDIO DEALER. · Ensure that there are no water pipes, air ducts or electricity cables running immediately behind the cut out area!· Please work from secure steps or scaffold and avoid trailing wires for your safety and those around you. · Always turn off the amplifier or other devices in the system when connecting these speakers. 1 Installation procedures Painting NOTE: If you are choosing to paint your 300 Series loudspeaker, we recommend you do this prior to installation by following these simple steps: 1. Remove the membrane scrim from the inside of the grille (do not fit grille to speaker frame). Place paint mask over the speaker baffle. Paint both the frame and the grille at the same time and with the same batch of paint (if they are to be the same colour). When they are both dry, remove the paint mask from the baffle, and place the spare membrane scrim (in the packaging) into the inside of the grille. Your product(s) are now ready to install, including fitting the grille. Using Pre-Construction Brackets If the holes have been pre-cut, simply refer to step 4 onwards (below) for full fitting instructions. If pre-construction brackets have been used prior to the fixing of plaster board/ sheet rock and the holes have not been cut, locate the pre-construction brackets and cut around the inside edge of the bracket. Locate the speaker cable, connect to the sprung terminals and fit the speaker. Refer to the fitting instructions below (step 4 onwards). To fine-tune the speakers please refer to the high frequency control and boundary compensation details below. Using the Fixing Template 1. Use template to locate position of cut out. The adhesive backing allows for repositioning a number of times. Locate speaker cable and connect by pushing the terminals in and releasing to clamp the cables. [. . . ] Setting the switch in the -3dB position will reduce the presence and the system will sound more `laid back'. This may be effective where the speaker will be played for background music, or where the listening position is situated close to the speaker. Boundary Compensation control The bass drivers are optimised to work in a large closed cavity, with minimal damping. This should provide a natural roll off characteristic that will ensure optimum performance and bass extension. However, it may be necessary in certain installations to locate the speaker close to a corner apex of the ceiling. [. . . ]
