3. INTRODUCTION
ECLER’s IW6 unit, a loudspeaker for wall/ceiling mounting, uses carefully selected
components integrated in a design which allows an easy handling and a fast installation. They also
provide excellent sound quality for high and low frequencies thanks to our infinite speaker philosophy
and to top-performance high frequency transducer.
Because we have included a transformer, the unit are extremely versatile and are easy to
use both in applications with low impedance and in applications running at 100V/70V. All you have to
do is shift the position of the built-in selector.
The transducer used to play low and medium frequencies are made of polypropylene,
giving them maximum, long-term stability and protecting them from environmental factors like heat
and humidity.
Technical specifications:
• 2 way speaker system for wall/ceiling mounting
• 6.5” polypropylene woofer
• 25mm tweeter
• Power: 40W RMS@8Ω
• Sensitivity (1W/1m): 87 dB SPL
• Built-in transformer
• Dimensions: 236x344x67mm
• Installation system: Six revolving fasteners
Note: If you use the speaker in 70V installations, the power for the 100V position will be half the
amount shown on the switch. When used in 50V installations, it will be a fourth of the amount.
The IW6 model comes with a protective grill that can be removed with a hook included in
the package. Be careful not to damage the speaker when removing the grill.

4. CONNECTIONS
The connection terminals are
clamps for stripped wires. Once they are
connected, all you have to do is choose the
unit's power and mode of operation using a
simple screwdriver. Always pay attention to
the polarity.
The IW6 are shipped from
factory with the switch in 100V/70V
position. If it is connected to a lowimpedance amplifier, the speaker will not be damaged, but will perform way below its full
potential. If the speaker is accidentall y connected t o a 100V/70 V line in the 8Ω posi tion, it will
be severely damaged.
Use the 6 revolving fasteners included to easily install the units. For more information on
how to install the units, please see section 5 of this manual.

5. LOCATION AND ASSEMBLY
The correct installation of this speaker requires the execution of a rectangular hole at the
location where the speaker is going to be installed as well as the corresponding cables for each unit.
In order to install the speakers correctly:
1. Remove the protective grating from the speaker using the hook provided in the packaging.
2. It is necessary to execute a rectangular hole in the wall or false ceiling. The dimensions of
this hole have to be 193x302mm.
A template for cutting/painting is included with each unit to simplify this process. Once
divided into two, the outer part can be used as pattern to mark the hole on the wall or ceiling, while
the inner part can be used to protect the speaker cone in case of painting the plastic part in another
colour.
3. Use the clamps to connect the unit to the wiring of the system where the speaker is being
installed.
4. Place the speaker in the newly cut hole. Hold the unit with one h and and introduce it into
its location. The six rotary mounting tabs must be tangential to the cut-out.
5. Press each of the 6 screws that are accessible from the front side of the speaker. The
speaker is now fixed in its final position.
6. Reattach the protective grille.
6. PAINTING
The IW6 is designed to be painted, meaning it can be installed anywhere, regardless of
the aesthetic criteria of the place where it will be used.
The following instructions explain the details of painting the unit:
1. Remove the protective grille from
the speaker using the hook
provided in the packaging.
2. Once the cutting/painting pattern
is divided into two, use the inner
part to protect the speakers cone
placing over the cones and
making it fit as well as possible.
The tips that remain after splitting the pattern make it easy to fit this part. The outer part
can be placed on the back of the speaker fitting it to its shape, to protect the speaker’s
back from splashes if a spray is used to paint the unit.
3. Paint the protective grating and the speaker separ ately. Make sure that the small holes in
the grating are not blocked by paint. Use an appropriate air-dry paint.
4. When the paint is dry, remove the protectors. The unit is ready to be installed.
