Speaker Layout
The layout of the speakers should be planned prior to
installation. Because wall baffle speakers are designed to
project forward, it is best to aim them in the same direction, as this provides for both greater coverage and clarity.
You can use the building’s roof pillars or other available
supports for mounting the wall baffles. In some cases, it
may be necessary to mount the wall baffles on opposing
walls. In these cases, the speakers will project sound in
opposing directions.
HALLWAY/ROOM - Wall baffle speakers work well
with rooms and hallways that are 20’ to 60’ wide. Layout
starts at one end of the hallway or room.The first speaker should be installed 10’ from the end of the hallway or
room. The next speaker on that wall should be installed
20’ from the first speaker, as should any additional speakers required to cover the length of the hallway or room.
The first speaker on the opposing wall should be installed
20’ from the end of the hallway or room, thereby staggering the speakers. Each additional speaker should also be
installed 20’ apart from the previous one. See Figure 1.
OPEN AREA - The number of speakers needed to cover an
open area and the layout of those speakers is contingent upon
the availability of suitable mounting points in the area to be covered.
Layout starts in one corner of the room. The first speaker should be installed 10’ from the wall with each additional speaker in the first row installed in increments of 20’
from the first. Based on Figure 2, install the next row of
speakers 30’ from the first row and 20’ from the wall with
increments of 20’ between each speaker. The third row
would follow the example of the first and each additional
row would continue this pattern of alternating rows until
the whole area is covered.

Speaker Installation
STEP 1 - Mark the point from which to hang the speaker. Drill
an appropriately sized hole in the wall and insert an anchor. Drive
the screw into the anchor leaving enough of the screw exposed
from which to hang the speaker on. See Figure 3.
NO
TE: Wall baffle speakers should be installed between
8 and 16 feet from the floor depending upon need.
STEP 2 - Make the electrical connections using the 2 screw terminals on the WB1EZ. The recommended amplifier connections
are:
(+) 70V terminal - 70V HOT
(-) COM terminal - 70V COMMON
NO
TE: The speaker will also work perfectly well with these
connections reversed. However, it is important to be
consistent in the wiring of the speakers in the system.
If adjacent speakers have reversed wiring connections, they
will tend to cancel each other’s bass response, thereby
diminishing the sound quality.
STEP 3 - If it is necessary to adjust the volume, insert a thin, flat
blade screwdriver into the access hole at the bottom of the wall
baffle, then turn the volume control clockwise (as viewed from the
bottom of the baffle) to increase the volume.To reduce the volume, simply turn the volume control in a counterclockwise
motion. See Figure 4.
