Thank You

Thank you for choosing the Definitive Technology Disappearing In-Wall loud speaker. The Di Series products offer extraordinary sound quality from speakers that are barely visible when installed in a wall or ceiling. Our engineers spent many years developing this product. In order to ensure that you experience the finest per formance possible, we encourage you to take a moment to fully read this owner’s manual and familiarize yourself with the proper installation and set-up procedures for your Di Series speaker.

Unpacking Your Disappearing In-Wall Speakers

Please Inspect For Shipping Damage

Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or concealed damage most likely occurred in handling after it left our plant and should be reported at once to your Definitive dealer or the delivery company that delivered your loudspeaker. Please unpack your system carefully. Save all cartons and packing materials in case you move or need to ship your system. Record the serial number found on the back of the speakers, and on the carton, in this manual and save it for future reference should your speaker need service.

Painting Di Series Speakers

Your Di Series speakers may be painted to match the color of the wall or ceiling in which they are installed. Failure to follow the following

painting instructions may result in seriously degraded sound quality. It is your responsibility to make sure your painting contractor sees and follows these instructions.

1.DO NOT PAINT THE GRILLE WITH A BRUSH OR ROLLER — they will clog the fine mesh of the grille and cloth scrim and result in poor sound quality.

2.Remove the grille from the speaker and place it on a drop cloth, newspaper or plastic sheet.

3.The grille MUST be spray painted with one of the following:

Spray paint that closely matches the desired finish/color

A custom spray bomb, color matched to your paint finish

Indoor latex paint using a spray gun (paint must be diluted to the paint manufacturer’s specifications)

4.Removing the backing cloth (scrim) is not required.

5.Paint should be applied in a series of thin coats sprayed at approximately 60 degrees from the grille surface, allowing each coat to fully cure before applying additional coats.

6.To ensure that the paint distribution is evenly applied, each coat should be applied from at least 4 different directions to the grille. (N, S, E & W) This will ensure an even coverage on the grille.

7.Once the grille has been painted and the paint has fully cured, you may use a brush, or small roller to touch-up the outer edge of the grille frame — being VERY careful not to get any additional paint on the grille mesh surface.

Optional Fire-Rated Enclosures

Definitive Di Series speakers have been designed to meet UL 1480 and 2043 standards when used with the appropriate optional Definitive fire-rated enclosures. All plastic parts used in the speakers are V0 flame rated as per UL 94.

While these enclosures are necessary in most countries for commercial and multi-family dwelling installations, residential customers may want to use them for added safety and/or to reduce the sound from “leaking” into adjacent rooms.

Placement Options

Definitive Technology Di Series Loudspeakers give you nearly endless placement options. But remember that placement choice for your in-wall speakers bears careful consideration, as installation requires that you cut a hole in your wall or ceiling! Fill a room with sound by installing in-wall speakers in nearly any wall or ceiling location although it is best to keep the speakers at least 2 feet (60 cm) from side walls [Figure 1]. When using Di Series models in home theater applications follow the guidelines [illustrated in Figures 2, 3 and 4]. Definitive Di Series In-Wall Loudspeakers have aimable tweeters that allow you to focus their sound toward or away from your listening area depending on the application.
