[. . . ] A/V DISTRIBUTION & CONTROL SYSTEMS Instruction Manual SP652. 1 SP622. 1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on selecting Russound Wall-Mounted Speakers. Like all RUSSOUND speakers, they combine acoustic technology with durability and will provide years of musical enjoyment. This manual is designed to make your SP652. 1 & SP622. 1 speakers as easy to install as they are to listen to. If you've had any home "do-ityourself" experience, you should find installation of your new speakers a simple job. [. . . ] Temporarily place a Russound speaker into the cut-out to insure that it fits properly. It's okay if the hole is slightly large, since it will be covered by the speaker's outside frame. Actual installation will happen later, after you've routed the speaker wires. Now it's time to drill the hole on the OTHER end -at the point where the wires from the speakers will exit to the amplifier/receiver. * If you want a custom look, install an outlet box against a stud and cover it with a single outlet plate which has one hole in the middle for the wires to exit from OR order from your Russound dealer a Russound Stereo pair Wall Plate Connector. Drawing 3 A. Cut speaker hole along outline 6 HOOKING UP YOUR SPEAKERS IDENTIFYING "+" AND "-" You need to be able to discriminate between the two conductors of the speaker wire. If your wire has transparent insulation, this is easy: One conductor will be copper-colored and the other silver-colored. Generally, professionals denote the copper one as POSITIVE (+) and the silver one as NEGATIVE (-). If you've used wire which has an opaque insulation, there are still differentiating markings. A painted stripe or dotted line * Denote any of these as the POSITIVE (+) conductor for similar connections on both ends. NOTE: It is important that you label your wires left and right when you run them to eliminate future confusion. Cut off excess wire, leaving about 2 feet extending through the speaker cut-out hole. Pull the conductors apart so they're separated for the first two inches from their ends. Using a wire stripper, diagonal pliers or a knife, remove 1/2 inch of insulation from each conductor. Twist the tiny strands in each conductor into tight spirals, as shown in Drawing 4. IMPORTANT: Route the speaker wire THROUGH the sheetrock as shown in Drawing 5. Press down on the protruding levers while inserting the wire into the hole. * Correct the POSITIVE (+) conductor to the RED terminal and the NEGATIVE (-) conductor to the BLACK speaker terminal. * Make sure that no stray strands of wire have gotten detached and are touching the other main wire.
