Prior to Fitting the Custom Install Series Speakers
CAUTION: These Custom Install loudspeakers can only be
fixed into plasterboard (dry-lined) or suspended ceilings/ walls
with a thickness of up to 45mm (1
require channelling out and frame work constructed to provide a
structure for the Tri Grip dog legs to clamp to. For safety reasons, if you
are unsure of your ability to provide a secure and safe fixing, do not
attempt to fix these speakers, please obtain the services of a competent
and qualified trades person.
CAUTION: Ensure that there are no water pipes or electricity
cables running within the wall structure before cutting the
speaker apertures. Work from secure steps and avoid trailing
wires.
Painting the Grilles
NOTE: Do not paint the IW260X and 460X grilles as spare
scrims are not supplied.
NOTE: If choosing to paint the grille, we recommend you follow
these simple steps:
1. Remove the membrane scrim from the inside of the grille.
2. Paint all grilles required for the installation with the same batch of
paint (if they are to be the same colour). Spray paint is easier to
apply or use a stippling action when brushing to avoid blocking the
holes of the grille.
3. When dry, attach the spare membrane scrim (where supplied) into
the inside of the grille.
4. Fit the grille to the speaker (s).
Over Tightening Warning
ATTENTION INSTALLERS:
Do not over-tighten the Tri-Grip Dog Leg clamps. Over tightening the
clamping mechanism on any in ceiling/ in wall speaker can result in
damage to the speaker mounting hardware, ceiling/ wall or speaker
frame, and/ or deflection in the speaker frame during installation.
If you notice any of the above during installation, you have overtightened
the Tri Grip dog leg. Back off the mounting screw until deflection is
reduced to allow the product to sit firmly against the ceiling / wall.

Speaker Controls
High Frequency Level Adjust
With the HF setting on the '0' position, the speaker will give you a neutral
sound with no additional adjustments made. Switching to the '+db'
position will give the high frequencies a boost, giving you more clarity and
presence in the treble while switching to the '-db' will do the opposite.
This position can be useful if you want more prominence in the bass
frequencies.
Mid Frequency Level Adjust
With the Mid setting on the '0' position, the speaker will give you a neutral
sound with no additional adjustments made. Switching to the '+db'
position will give the Mid frequencies a boost, giving you warmer sound
with more presence in the vocal register while switching to the '-db' will
do the opposite.
Boundary Compensation Switch
When a speaker is placed near a corner or wall it can sometimes make
the bass too 'boomy' as low frequencies reflect off the nearby surfaces.
If the bass is too 'boomy' for your liking then, like a port bung, the
Boundary Compensation switch can be used to dampen the bass being
produced by the speaker.
NOTE: As with all audio, the settings you chose to use are subject
to your own personal tastes and the affect your room has on the
acoustics. Experimentation is strongly advised to find the best
setting for you.
