(Continued on reverse)Where To Place Your Ceiling SpeakersPlacement can make all the difference in how your speaker will sound, and how easy it will beto install. Carefully consider where your speaker should be positioned. For optimum perform-ance, the speaker should be mounted as close as possible to the center of the main listening area(See Fig. 2). Avoid mounting the speaker in stud cavities containing electrical wiring, heatingducts, water pipes, etc. Make sure the wall or ceiling materials are sturdy enough to support theweight of the speaker.Adjustable Tweeter (Fig. 3)The tweeter in the NXG Model NX-522DVC may be adjusted, allowing you to tailor the speaker tobetter fit the listening area. The overall smoothest response is achieved with the tweeter facingstraight out: however, when the speaker cannot be mounted in an optimal location, you mayfind the sound more pleasing by aiming the tweeter toward a particular listening area. To adjustthe tweeter, apply pressure on the ring surrounding the tweeter with your thumb or finger.Speaker Installation In Existing Construction (See Fig. 4 on reverse)Once you have selected the location for your speakers, you are ready to install them.You will need the following:• Stud Finder • Drill & Drill Bits • Wire Cutter/Strippers• Pencil • Utility Knife or Drywall Saw • Small Level• Masking Tape • Phillips Screwdriver • Speaker WireNXG recommends the use of a minimum of 16-gauge wire. For wire options consult your retaileror custom audio contractor.1. NXG Architectural Speakers are designed to be installed in the wall or ceiling area betweenstuds. Using a stud finder, make sure you are between two studs. Using the supplied template,tape the template to the ceiling and lightly trace around the inside with a pencil.2. Cut the hole using your drywall saw. You may want to start with a small hole in the center ofthe outline. This will allow you to check for any obstructions that may exist behind the desiredlocation. CAUTION: Be certain electrical wiring, water pipes or heating ducts do not interfere inthe planned installation areas prior to drilling or cutting the wall.3. Run speaker wire from your amplifier, volume control or speaker switching device to thespeaker location.4. Remove the grille from the speaker. If you like the standard white finish of your NXG CeilingSpeakers, skip to step 5, but if if you want your speakers to blend in with a colored wall, now isthe time to paint your speaker’s outer frame and perforated grille. The speaker’s outer surfacewill accept ordinary latex wall paint or aerosol spray paint. Because the surface behind the grilleshould remain unpainted, you will need to cover this area. Cover the speaker’s interior blacksurface, woofer and tweeter. Paint the outer speaker frame and grille separately.5. Attach the wire to the input terminals (right and left) on the rear of the speaker. Rememberto maintain proper polarity with the amplifier by attaching the positive (+) lead to the red termi-nal and the negative (-) lead to the black terminal.Congratulations on choosing NXG In-Wall Loudspeakers.Like all NXG products, great care has been taken in theirdesign.
