Com INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATION FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE Important Note: You should have a thorough understanding of and adhere to all local building and fire codes. Also, you should be familiar with the area behind the wall or ceiling into which you plan to install your speakers. Always use wire that meets appropriate building and fire codes. [. . . ] ROOM ENVIRONMENT CONTROL Wall Distance Switch In-wall and in-ceiling loudspeakers excel when placed more than 2' (60cm) from side walls. If position limitations demand that in-wall loudspeakers be installed closer than 2' (60cm) from side walls, the proximity of the surface can result in a response "bump" between 50 and 200Hz. This can cause in-wall speakers to sound "boomy. " The Wall Distance Switch flattens response and tunes out "boominess" without sacrificing deep bass response, for more lifelike sound. Recommended speaker distance from side walls is 2 feet (60cm). PAINTING IN-WALL GRILLES Painting in-wall grilles The LC80FX/LC65FX each come with a perforated aluminum grille. Paint of your choice (grilles must be spray painted). If the speaker is not yet installed, the grille can be removed simply by pushing the clamp screws forward to push the grille off the speaker from the inside. Remove the cloth scrim from the inside of the grille. When painting the speaker frame, use the supplied paint masks to carefully mask off the front of the speakers to protect the drivers and baffles. You can do this while the speaker is already installed in the wall (if, for instance, you're repainting the room). If you do not have the paint masks, carefully mask the speaker components using paper and masking tape. If you're using a compressor and spray gun, use the finest, most diffused setting. Be careful not to fill the holes in the grille with paint. When the paint is completely dry, press the white cloth scrim into place and carefully reinstall the grille by fitting it into its recess so that it is just resting on the frame. Starting with one corner, go around the speaker and push the grille into the grille notch a little bit at a time. Be gentle; the grille may be easily bent by rough handling. You will feel a positive "snap" when the grille is fully in place. When the paint is completely dry, remove the masking material. For more information visit our website at www.
