User manual SONANCE TL623R

[. . . ] Designed to be used Symphony TR Coverplate (part #92335): Reusable cover protects the hole made by the FlexBracket during construction until the speaker is installed. Sonafill® In-Ceiling System (part #91928): Retrofittable acoustical treatment consisting of two pillows and four tiles that virtually eliminates noises produced by resonating drywall. Dramatically improves midbass sound quality and reduces sound transmission into adjacent rooms. SPEAKER PLACEMENT TL623SSTR ThinLine Single Stereo Technology ® SSTR speakers are ideal for use in hallways, bathrooms, closets, or in any location where listeners will be moving around and a pair of stereo speakers would be impractical. The location of the speaker should be determined by considering the primary listening location as well as aesthetic values. [. . . ] The FlexBracket has perforated wings that can be positioned at any angle around the bracket, and is nailed or screwed to the studs. This serves as a guide for the drywaller so that the speaker hole will be in the desired location once the drywall is installed. Before Installation: Retrofit 1. Determine the location for the speaker (see Speaker Placement on page 4). Perform an obstruction survey to be certain that there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts or air returns in the ceiling cavity that will interfere with the speaker. There also must be at least 3 1/32" (77mm) depth within the ceiling cavity. Position the included cutout template where the speaker is to be located and pencil an outline on the ceiling. · If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole in the center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire into the hole to feel-around for possible obstructions. Cut the mounting hole using a drywall saw, and run the speaker wires from the mounting hole to the amplifier location. · Consult local building codes before running speaker wires through walls. Installation Sonance ThinLine speakers feature exclusive FastMount ® tabs and an integral RotoLock ® mounting system for quick mounting directly into existing ceilings and walls. WARNING: The edges of FastMount tabs are very sharp. Gently fit the remaining half of the grille by working around the speaker, fitting the grille into the groove as you go. NOTE: YOU CAN ADJUST THE TORQUE APPLIED TO THE ACHIEVE A PROPER GRILLE FIT. ROTOLOCK RotoLock® Clamps SCREWS TO Figure 8: RotoLock® Clamps 8 SONANCE THINLINETM TL and SSTR PAINTING THE SPEAKERS AND GRILLES You can paint the speakers and grilles before installing them, which will eliminate the "paint scar" that can be left on the ceiling if the speaker ever needs to be removed for service. You can also paint the speakers after installation, but before the grilles are attached. All Sonance ThinLine speakers come from the factory fitted with a plastic `paint plug' that protects the speaker drivers while the mounting flange is being painted. Sonance always suggests painting the grille separately from the speaker. It is held in place with a light tacking glue that makes it easy to remove. Spray the grilles with thinned paint (5 parts thinner to 1 part paint), being careful not to plug the holes. Too heavy a coat of paint on the grille will adversely affect the sound of the speaker. Once the grilles and flange are painted and dry, replace the under-grille cloth, remove the paint plug from the mounting flange and install the grille. SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS Pivoting Tweeter ThinLine TL623R and TL622R have a pivoting tweeter. This lets you direct sound toward or away from the listening area, depending on how the speakers are being used: · If you're using the speakers in stereo or as the front left/center/right speakers in a home theater, pivot the tweeter directly towards the listening area. This will help the sound from the speakers blend into a solid soundstage even if the speakers are widely separated. · If you're using the speakers as surround channel speakers in a home theater, you can create a more diffuse, spacious surround effect by pivoting the tweeters towards a wall or window, away from the listeners. To Pivot the Tweeter: Apply light pressure to the plastic ring around the outside edge of the tweeter dome, as shown in Figure 9. Do not touch or apply pressure to the tweeter dome. Figure 9: P ivo t i n g t h e Twe et e r Tweeter Level Control The ThinLine TL623R and TL623SSTR have a tweeter level control switch (see Figure 10) that lets you boost or cut the tweeter's level by 3dB. This allows you to adjust the speaker's brightness to better match your listening room or personal taste.
