Like all Russound speakers, they combine acoustic technology with durability to provide years of listening enjoyment. The Music Series is designed to provide an optimum balance between performance and price, delivering superior sound for all applications at a most affordable cost. [. . . ] The gauge of wire you need is determined by the distance between your amplifier/receiver and the speakers. Minimum Gauge 16 14 12 HOW - PAINTING THE SPEAKER FRAMES AND GRILLES Russound in-wall speaker frames and grilles are pre-finished with an off-white paint. You can choose to leave them as is or paint them with latex wall paint or aerosol spray paint to accent or blend with the wall or ceiling. TO PAINT SPEAKERS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ASSEMBLED OR INSTALLED: 1 Separate and remove the speaker baffle from the frame and set it aside. 2 Remove the scrim cloth by gently separating it from the inside surface of the perforated grille, being careful to keep it clean. For the grille, Russound recommends a spray application using latex paint diluted 4 to 5:1 with water. If you're using an aerosol spray paint, make sure that you achieve the same coverage on both grille and frame. 4 While the paint is still wet on the grille, and the grille is not in the frame, use a gentle burst of compressed air against the outside surface to clear the fine holes in the metal mesh. 5 After the paint has thoroughly dried, re-install the speaker baffle inside the frame. 6 Reattach the scrim cloth to the grille, starting from the edge and smoothing wrinkles as you go. We recommend using Russound AW series speaker cable for amplifier-to-speaker connections, but any reputable brand of 16- to 12-gauge multi-stranded wiring is acceptable. Incorporating optional IR receivers in Iso-Mount models will require additional wire. Consult the selected IR receiver model's manual for the specific wire needs. In general, you should pay particular attention to the following: · Avoid locations concealing pipes, heating ducts, and AC wiring in the general vicinity. · Avoid running speaker wires close to house electrical wiring for any distance. If you have to run them parallel, make sure to space the speaker wires at least two feet from the AC line. It is, however, permissible for speaker wires to cross paths with AC line or pass through the same hole together with house wiring if they separate before and after. · Make sure that the entire wire path between speakers and amplifier is clear and not obstructed by a floor or ceiling joist, or a masonry wall which can't be drilled through. Confirm ahead of time that you can drill an outlet hole easily and in an unobtrusive spot to connect wires with the amplifier/receiver. · Label speaker wires at each end "left" or "right" and include room location. This simplifies speaker/receiver hook-up once the speakers are installed. 12 HOW ­ Painting the Speaker Frames and Grilles TO PAINT SPEAKERS THAT HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED: FRAME 1 Remove the speaker grilles from the frames, being careful not to damage the paint. Use a small pointed object and start at the corner or edge of the grille. 2 Remove the scrim cloth by gently separating it from the inside surface of the perforated grille, being careful to keep it clean.
