Galil 6-O - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

 Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

 Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp
to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if
firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

 Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)

 Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
 Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

 Position your Kramer Speakers away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

Do not open the housing of the speaker; doing so may reduce the
quality of the sound.

2.2 Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC
aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by
requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive,
Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced
Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and
recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN
facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country
go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

Galil 6-O - Overview

3 Overview

The Galil 6-O includes a pair of high performance on-wall speakers that can be
mounted on the wall either vertically or horizontally. The mounting brackets, made
of painted steel, can be attached to each speaker, letting you rotate each speaker
to the left or right. The Galil 6-O speakers feature a multi-tap power transformer
for selecting 8Ω (bypassing the transformer) or 70V/100V power settings that are
suitable for an array installation.

Tap Selector

Adjust each speaker to the appropriate tap setting:
For 70V: 3.7W, 7.5W, 15W or 30W
For 100V, select 7.5W, 15W or 30W
Or select 8 (to bypass the transformer when connecting

directly to an amplifier without using the 70/100V array
option), see Figure 2

4 Installing the Galil 6-O

This section explains how to:

 Choose the best location for your speakers (see Section 4.1)
 Install the speaker wires (see Section 4.2)
 Install the mounting brackets (see Section 4.3)
 Setup an array installation (see Section 4.4)
 Connect the Galil 6-O (see Section 4.5)

4.1 Choosing the Best Location

Before installing the speakers:

 Experiment by placing the speakers in different locations before finally

deciding on the most suitable location

 Be sure that the wall type is appropriate for the mounting brackets, that is,

either solid wood, bricks, concrete, hollow building blocks, or wood studs

 Check that the mounting location is free of obstructions, such as electrical

piping, AC ducts or water lines, and so on

4.2 Installing the Speaker Wires

To install the speakers, do the following:

1. Prepare the wires for the speakers:

 Cut the wires to similar lengths

For achieving high quality sound

 Measure the length from each speaker to the receiver, and cut the

wires accordingly, adding some access wire length to let you easily
remove the speakers from the bracket without having to disconnect the
input wires

2. Strip the ends of the wires to expose a length of approximately 3/8 inch.

3. Pass the speaker wires through the round hole in the mounting bracket (see

Section 4.3).

4. Adjust each speaker to the appropriate tap setting (see Figure 2).

Set the tap according to the power requirements of the speaker based on its location in the
room (for example, a speaker located in a remote corner may require additional power)

Figure 2: Adjust Tap Selector

5. Connect one of the + and – terminal block pairs on the rear panel (see

Figure 1) by connecting the wire from the:

 Negative terminal on the receiver into the negative terminal block of the

speaker

 Positive terminal on the receiver into the positive terminal block of the

speaker

6. Repeat step 5 for the other speaker (see Figure 7).

7. If required, connect the + and - terminal blocks to the + and - terminal blocks

to an adjacent speaker (as illustrated in the example in Figure 6).

4.3 Installing the Mounting Bracket

To install the mounting brackets, do the following:

1. Mark the location of the mounting holes on the wall.

2. Screw the mounting screws onto the wall at the location that you want to

mount the speakers.
If the location is backed by wall studs, you can use the wood screws
provided. If the location is backed by a gypsum board, use wall anchors (not
included in the package).

3. Slide a speaker into each mounting bracket.

4. Align the bracket screw holes (upper and lower) to those on the speaker and

screw a knob to each of the holes to secure the speaker to the bracket (see

Figure 3).

Figure 3: Galil 6-O with Brackets Connected

5. Slide the mounting bracket over the mounting screws so that the mounting

bracket is secured to the surface.

6. You can slightly loosen the knobs on a speaker to adjust its direction.

4.4 Setting up an Array Installation

When installing the Galil 6-O in an array installation layout, you need to define the
distance between speakers as well as the layout pattern (square or hexagonal).
The distance between speakers is set according to the uniformity of the coverage
desired and the budget.

The coverage angle of the speaker determines the coverage area and the number
of speakers required in the array installation. Two patterns are usually used for
array installations, square (see Figure 4) or hexagonal (see Figure 5), depending
on the shape of the installation area. The speakers are positioned according to
their coverage area.

Figure 4: Square Layout

Figure 5: Hexagonal Layout

You can set the power on each speaker to get the desired power level in different
installation areas.
