Color-Match Painting; Installation Into Existing Walls Or Ceilings - Paradigm OM-110 Manuel Du Propriétaire

COLOR-MATCH PAINTING (optional)
Your new in-wall/in-ceiling speakers have a textured finish in neutral white to blend into any room.
They may also be painted to match any decor. If you plan to paint your speakers, keep in mind that
it is much more difficult to do so after they have been installed—paint them before installation (and
remove them from the wall before you start). Please note:
• Do not paint the surface behind the grille
• Do not heat-cure your newly painted speakers
• Avoid painting the rear surface of the speaker—protect the rear surface by masking it
To Paint, Follow These Steps:
1) Remove the metal grilles and position the paint mask (supplied) in its place.
2) Lightly sand speaker flanges with fine sandpaper to provide better paint adhesion.
3) In a well-ventilated area, apply several light coats of paint, letting the speaker dry completely
between coats. Follow the paint manufacturer's directions.
4) When painting the speaker grilles, be careful to not plug the holes with paint. Remove the
protective cloth from inside the grille before painting, and re-attach after the paint has dried.
It is easier to spray the grille than use a brush. Do not paint the grilles when they are installed
on the speaker.

INSTALLATION INTO EXISTING WALLS OR CEILINGS

Turn your receiver/amplifier OFF before connecting speakers. This will avoid
damage which may result from accidental shorting of the speaker cable.
Use only speaker cable that is rated for in-wall use.
• The UL standard is CL2, CL3 and CM
• The CSA standard is FT4
For optimum sound reproduction the use of high-quality speaker cable is essential. We also recommend
the use of a high performance in-wall volume control such as the Paradigm
1. Mounting
Place the mounting template onto the wall or ceiling. Cut a hole as indicated. (Fig. 3a or 3b)
In-Wall Mounting
For optimum performance loosely place ...
• two pieces, 8˝ (20 cm) to 12˝ (30 cm) long, of standard fiberglass insulation in the wall
R-12 for 2˝x 4˝ (5 cm x 10 cm) walls or R-20 for 2˝x 6" (5 cm x 15 cm) walls. Place one
piece just above and the other piece just below the mounting hole.
• a half-thick piece of fiberglass insulation, the same height as the speaker, in the wall right
behind the mounting hole.
In-Ceiling Mounting
For optimum performance loosely place ...
• one piece of standard fiberglass (to fit joist size) above the speaker extending 12 in (30 cm)
or more beyond the speaker between the joists.
• (for taller joists) fibreglass insulation directly against the joists on either side of the mounting hole.
