6NEW CONSTRUCTIONIf you wish to preinstall a rough-in frame before the drywall is installed,you will need to purchase the correct rough-in-frame kit for your model:Speaker Model Rough-In-Frame KitL226W, LS326W RIF 6L226C, LS326C RIF 6CSL228C, LS328C RIF 8CDetailed installation instructions are supplied with the rough-in kit.PAINTING THE SPEAKERFRAME AND GRILLEStudio L in-wall and in-ceiling loudspeakers can be painted to match anydécor. If you wish to change their color, the satin finish on the grille and framewill function as a primer coat. Before painting, install the paint shield (innersection of template in the assembly kit) securely into the recess in the baffle.This will protect the speaker components and baffle from paint residue. Usea high-quality spray paint, and apply a thin coat of color. Be certain the grilleperforations remain free of paint. Filling them with paint will diminish thesound quality.NOTE: Gently remove the acoustical foam blanket from the grille beforepainting. Reattach the blanket after the paint has dried.OPERATIONSURROUND MODESWhen using the system in a Dolby® Digital or DTS® home theater system,make sure all speakers are set to “Small.” When using the Studio L in-walland in-ceiling speakers in a Dolby Pro Logic® home theater system, make surethe receiver’s center channel mode is set to “Normal.”Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer different setupoptions for each source or surround mode: e.g., CD-stereo, videotape, Dolbyor Pro Logic. In each case, follow your equipment’s instructions to ensure thatthe subwoofer (if you have one) output is turned on and that the speakers areset to “Small” in each mode.TWEETER-LEVEL CONTROLIn most typical listening rooms, this switch should be left in the neutral or“0” position. This setting will deliver the most neutral and balanced sound.In some extreme cases, it may be desirable to slightly boost or cut thetweeter’s output, depending upon the room layout, construction andfurnishings.If the room is sparsely furnished, contains large exposed windows or isotherwise very reverberant, you may want to set the control to the “–”(–1.5dB) position. If the room is exceptionally absorbent because it is wellfurnished or has thick curtains and/or carpet, you may want to increasethe tweeter output by setting this switch to the “+” position (+1.5dB).BOUNDARY COMPENSATION CONTROLLS326W, LS326C, LS328CThis control is designed to be engaged when positioning the loudspeakerwithin two feet of another surface to eliminate the bass peak caused bythe second surface and to maintain a smooth, natural bass response. Forexample, if you need to install an in-ceiling speaker within two feet of a sidewall or corner, it is recommended that the Boundary Compensation controlbe set to the “On” position. Likewise, if it is necessary to install an in-wallspeaker within two feet of the floor, ceiling or corner, the control should beset to the “On” position. In all other installations, the control should typicallybe set to “Off”.
