User manual SONANCE SST

[. . . ] The location of the speaker should be determined by considering the primary listening location as well as aesthetic values. Because a single Original Series SST speaker reproduces both stereo channels from a single location, they will deliver outstanding performance from an extremely wide variety of mounting locations. For optimum results, contact your Authorized Sonance Dealer for advice. PREPARING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION All Sonance speakers are designed to be relatively insensitive to variations in enclosure volume. To achieve the ultimate performance from your speakers, a section of the ceiling bay can be sectioned-off to form a back box. [. . . ] 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 hole using a drywall saw, and run the speaker wires. note: the speaker flange is designed to flex and conform to any small imperfections in the ceiling surface. do not tighten the screws so much so that the flange bows-out. important: always use low-torque settings; never over-tighten. 4. Attach the grille after the speaker has been installed. Insert about half of the grille into the groove at the edge of the 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 rotolock screws to achieve a proper grille fit. Painting The Speakers and Grilles You can paint the speakers and grilles before installing them, which will eliminate the "paint scar" if the speaker ever needs to be removed for service. You can also paint the speakers after installation, but before the grilles are attached. Original Series SST speakers come from the factory fitted with a plastic `paint plug'. Use the paint plug to protect the speaker drivers while the flange is being painted along with the wall. Sonance suggests always 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 speaker flange and install the grille. installation Sonance Original Series SST speakers feature exclusive FastMountTM 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. Connect the speaker wire to the terminals on the speaker. Double-check that you connected amplifier + to speaker + and amplifier ­ to speaker ­. Make sure all the RotoLock clamps are in the full clockwise position so that they are tucked within the mounting hole's border. Insert the speaker into the hole in the ceiling.
