SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES
These speakers are intended for indoor use only.
Do not expose these speakers to water or moisture of any kind.
If operating these speakers in a humid environment, ensure that no condensation
occurs. Condensation could cause damage to the speaker cones and voice coils.
Power off and unplug all Audio/Video components when making wired
connections. Only apply power after all connections have been made.
Double-check all connections prior to applying power to ensure that speaker
polarity is properly made and that there are no stray wire strands, which could short
the connections, either on the backs of the speakers or the AV receiver/amplifier.
Do not use full volume until after the speakers have been fully broken-in.
If you hear distortion, reduce the volume until the distortion is no longer audible.
Distortion can sound like a buzzing, scratching, or hammering sound. Distortion can
damage or destroy the delicate speaker coils.
Do not use cleaning fluids, solvents, or other chemicals to clean the speaker frames
or grilles.
Do not use excessive volume when listening to these speakers. If you experience
pain, discomfort, or dizziness, reduce volume immediately. Prolonged exposure to
excessive volume can cause permanent hearing damage.
Do not disassemble or attempt to service these speakers.
You must use speaker wire rated for in-wall use.
Do not attempt to install these speakers near power outlets, wall switches, or
ceiling fixtures. These objects indicate the presence of AC power lines within the
wall or ceiling and should be avoided.
When checking for the presence of objects behind the wall, do not try to force the
wire past obstructions.
Always check and adhere to your local building and fire safety codes before
installing these speakers and running wires through the walls and ceiling.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing these In-Wall/In-Ceiling Speakers!
In-wall/In-ceiling speakers are the ideal combination of sound quality and styling. Rather
than cluttering the room with large box speakers trailing speaker wires, the speakers are
virtually invisible, while filling the room with high fidelity audio. Featuring removable and
paintable magnetic grilles, these speakers use DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber woofers for superior
bass and mid-range reproduction and pure Titanium dome tweeters for sweeter and
cleaner highs.
FEATURES
6.5-inch or 8-inch DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber woofers
20mm recess pure Titanium dome tweeters
8-ohms nominal impedance
Removable and paintable magnetic grilles
Spare square magnetic grilles (models 35459 and 35460 only)
