Model SL6.2M
Extended Range
High Output Speaker
The SL6.2M provides high efficiency, high power handling, and extended frequency response in a very compact, plastic enclosure. It’s proven performance and reliability position it as the correct choice for small to medium theater surround applications.
The SL6.2M features a high-energy 6" low frequency transducer, a pure titanium 1" high frequency neodymium transducer mounted on a 100° x 100° waveguide, and a crossover network with full bandwidth protection. These components provide wide dynamic range, smooth coverage, and exceptional reliability.
One person installation is simple using the included EV Strong-Arm-MountTM. It provides ease of location and aiming not possible with other brackets.
The SL6.2M’s performance, reliability, and shape make it ideal for digital age theaters.

Installation and Wiring
Step 1: Mount the SAM™ Bracket
The SAM™ bracket can be mounted on
either side of the speaker, enabling optimal
configuration for any installation. First,
determine whether the bracket should be
mounted on the left or right side of the
speaker (do not bolt the speaker to the
bracket). It is best to mount the bracket on
the side away from the direction in which
the speaker will be aimed. This ensures
that the full sweep angle is available for
aiming on that side and provides easier
access to the sweep tightening bolt on the
wall bracket (see step 2). For safety,
make sure the mounting surface can
support more than the speaker's
weight! Use only industry-accepted fasten-
ers and mounting methods when mounting
the bracket. Consult an expert if you are
not sure.
For standard vertical installation mount
the SAM™ bracket as shown in Figure 4.
For horizontal mounting configurations,
mounting the bracket on the bottom side
(as in Figure 5) is easiest and safest, and
allows the speaker to be mounted closer to
the ceiling.
Step 2: Mount the Speaker to the
SAM™ Bracket
Attach the speaker to the SAM™ bracket
with the socket head bolt, as shown in
Figure 6.
Secure the speaker with the provided
security tool by tightening the two socket
head bolts as shown. After selecting the
proper horizontal angle, secure the swing
axis as shown by tightening bolt A. Next,
select the proper vertical angle with the
aid of the angle markers as shown in
Figure 7. Then secure the rotation axis by
tightening bolt B.

Attach both logo caps as shown in Figure 8
after tightening and securing the speaker.
Step 3: Wire the Speaker
Connect the wires to the speaker at the
back terminal plate observing the polarity
of the connections. The push-terminals
accept banana connector plugs.
Step 4: Secure the Seismic Tab
Connection Point
The rear of the enclosure includes an eye-
bolt for connection to a seismic restraint.
Connect it to a properly rated hardware fit-
ting that is securely installed independent-
ly of the SAM™ bracket. Even if your local
construction code does not require the
installation of secondary support, its use is
highly recommended for further security.
Step 5: Test System Operation
After all connections are made, test the
complete system operation. The Trouble-
shooting Table on the next page will assist
in locating many speaker-related problems.

Problem Possible Cause(s) Action
1. No sound Amplifier Connect a known working test speaker to the amplifier
outputs. If there is no sound, check that all the elec-
tronics are on, the signal routing is correct, the source
is active, the volume is turned up, and so on. Correct/
repair/replace as necessary. If there is sound, the
problem is in the wiring.
Wiring Verify that you have connected the correct wire pairs to
the amplifier. Play something at low level through the
amplifier (for example, from a CD player or tuner).
Connect the test speaker in parallel with the malfunc-
tioning line. If the sound has gone or is very weak, the
line has a short in it (possibly a severe scrape, pinch,
or staple puncture). If the sound level is normal, the
wire is open (possibly a cut wire or a missed connec-
tion). Using the test speaker, move down the line and
test each connection/junction until you find the problem
and correct it. Observe proper polarity.
2. Poor low- Speakers wired When two speakers are connected out of polarity
frequency out-of-polarity (out of phase), the low frequencies will cancel each
response other acoustically. Carefully observe the wire markings
or tracers on your speaker wires.Verify that the ampli-
fier (+) terminal is connected to the red speaker termi-
nals and the amplifier (–) terminal is connected to all
the black speaker terminals.
Improperly wired Using a test speaker as described above, verify that
subwoofer panel all amplifier and speaker wires are connected to their
proper terminals with the correct polarity. Reversing
just one set of amplifier wires can cut out all bass
output from the subwoofer.
3. Intermittent output Faulty connection Check all connections at amplifier and speakers to
such as crackling ensure they are clean and tight. If the problem persists,
or distortion it may be in the amplifier or wiring. See no. 1 above.
4. Constant noise Defective amplifier If the noise is present but no program material is
such as buzzing, or other electronic playing, the likely cause is the signal chain in the elec-
hissing, humming device tronics. Evaluate each component as necessary to iso-
late the problem.
Poor system Check and correct the system grounding, as required.

Architecture & Engineering Specs:
The loudspeaker shall be a two-way system consisting of one 6” (152mm) low-frequency transducer, a 1” (25mm) high-frequency transducer with a Coherent Coverage Waveguide, and a frequency­dividing network installed in a vented, line-array enclosure. The network shall include a passive limiter for both the low-frequency and high-frequency transducers. The loudspeaker system shall meet the following performance criteria: Power handling, 250-Watts long term program using IEC268-5 shaped pink noise; Frequency response, 46 Hz - 20 kHz (-10 dB from rated sensitivity); Pressure sensitivity, 90 dB at one watt, 200 Hz -10 kHz at one meter; Impedance, 8 ohms nominal, 6 ohms minimum. The high-frequency transducer shall drive a waveguide to cover evenly 100° horizontally by 100° vertically. The enclosure shall be molded of acrylic butyl styrene. The enclosure shall be 16.5” (419mm) high, 9” (228mm) wide, 11.75” (298mm) deep. The finish shall be a paintable black. The grille shall be zinc plated, powder coated for corrosion resistance, and restrained with a safety leash. The loudspeaker shall be adjustable over a range of 100° horizontally and 90° vertically. The support bracket shall be low profile and integral with the enclosure.
