Theatre Systems
You can use your Controlled performance speakers to make up full surround systems, these can be In-Wall, In-Ceiling or a mixture. Other Monitor Audio
speakers such as bookshelf or oorstanders can also be used. For perfect transition across front, side and rear sound stages we would recommend using
a suggested range from our website, these will be the closest tonal match to your Custom Performance speakers.
In-Wall 5.1 Theatre In-Ceiling 5.1 Theatre
1. Front Left-Centre-Right main loudspeakers
2. Rear Left-Right surround loudspeakers
3. Add your choice of Monitor Audio subwoofer to complete the theatre
4. You can use in-wall front IDC loudspeakers with in-ceiling left-right surrounds if desired
6.1 and 7.1 Theatres:
Use three surround loudspeakers for 6.1 theatres and use four surround loudspeakers for 7.1 theatres.

Speaker Orentation (IW260X and IW460X)
The IW260X and IW460 can both be used in either portrait or landscape orientation should you wish to use the speaker as a centre channel.
Since the IW260X uses a domed tweeter no adjustments are required however for the IW460X, which uses a C-CAM Ribbon Transducer, an inovative H.F
rotating system has been added to switch orentation. This is to ensure the ribbon runs at optimum performance in either position.
To rotate the IW460X tweeter simply remove the four screws surrounding the tweeter housing, then use the recesses in the grille mesh to rotate the
tweeter. With the speaker terminals towards you a single 90 ° turn anti-clockwise will switch the tweeter for centre channel use.
Painting the Grilles
NOTE: If choosing to paint the grille, we recommend you follow these simple steps:
1. Remove the membrane scrim from the inside of the grille.
2. Paint all grilles required for the installation with the same batch of paint (if they are to be the same colour). Spray paint is easier to apply or use a
stippling action when brushing to avoid blocking the holes of the grille.
3. When dry, attach the spare membrane scrim (supplied) into the inside of the grille.
4. Fit the grille to the speaker (s).
Prior to Fitting the Custom Install Series Speakers
CAUTION: These Custom Install loudspeakers can only be xed into plasterboard (dry-lined) or suspended ceilings/ walls with a thickness of up
to 45mm (1 3/4”). Solid wall installation will require channelling out and frame work constructed to provide a structure for the Tri-Grip® dog legs
to clamp to. For safety reasons, if you are unsure of your ability to provide a secure and safe xing, do not attempt to x these speakers, please
obtain the services of a competent and qualied trades person.
CAUTION: Ensure that there are no water pipes or electricity cables running within the wall structure before cutting the speaker apertures. Work
from secure steps and avoid trailing wires.
Over Tightening Warning
Attention installers:
Do not over-tighten the Tri-Grip Dog Leg clamps. Over tightening the
clamping mechanism on any in ceiling/ in wall speaker can result in damage
to the speaker mounting hardware, ceiling/ wall or speaker frame, and/ or
deection in the speaker frame during installation.
If you notice any of the above during installation, you have over tightened the
Tri-Grip dog leg. Back o the mounting screw until deection is reduced to
allow the product to sit rmly against the ceiling / wall.
Do not exceed 5Kgf/cm (4.34 lbf/inch.) or 0.5 NM when tightening
the Tri-Grip dog leg screws.
When are using a cordless screwdriver/ drill to install this product ensure the
clutch is set to it’s lowest setting to avoid from over-tightening and damaging
the mounting hardware.

Speaker Controls
High Frequency Level Adjust
With the HF setting on the ‘0’ position, the speaker will give you a neutral sound with no additional adjustments made. Switching to the ‘+db’ position will
give the high frequencies a boost, giving you more clarity and presence in the treble while switching to the ‘-db’ will do the opposite. This position can
be useful if you want more prominence in the bass frequencies.
Mid Frequency Level Adjust
With the Mid setting on the ‘0’ position, the speaker will give you a neutral sound with no additional adjustments made. Switching to the ‘+db’ position
will give the Mid frequencies a boost, giving you warmer sound with more presence in the vocal register while switching to the ‘-db’ will do the opposite.
Boundary Compensation Switch
When a speaker is placed near a corner or wall it can sometimes make the bass too ‘boomy’ as low frequencies reect o the nearby surfaces. If the bass
is too ‘boomy’ for your liking then, like a port bung, the Boundary Compensation switch can be used to dampen the bass being produced by the speaker.
NOTE: As with all audio, the settings you chose to use are subject to your own personal tastes and the aect your room has on the acoustics.
Experimentation is strongly advised to nd the best setting for you.
