red wire in the red terminal and the black wire in
the black terminal. See figure 10. Make sure that
none of the strands from the black and red wires
are touching each other. This can create a short
circuit that can damage your electronics. Mount
the baffle to the frame using the 6 screws
provided. Do not over tighten the mounting
screws.
Step 12. After the speaker is mounted,
adjustments to the swivel tweeter (small speaker)
can be made by either directing the sound
visually or by using a musical source to
determine the best sound coverage for the
listening area. To position the tweeter, press at
the outside edge of the tweeter housing (DO
NOT PRESS ON THE CONE DIRECTLY).
Note the crease in the asymmetrical tweeter
provides the highest directional response in this
direction. See figure 11 on page 14.
If you require to disperse the sound in a 360degree pattern you must position the line in the
tweeter in a horizontal position. See figure 12 on
page 15.
The combination of switch settings allow you to
boost and cut bass and treble +/-3dB. Adjust the
speaker level to accommodate for room
acoustics. See figure 13 on page 15.
Step 13. Divide each adhesive bead strip in half.
(Adhesive bead strips are in the clear self-closing
bag). Place strips on the edge of the grille as
shown in figure 14 on page 15. Reinstall the grille
on the speaker.
Step 14. Adhere the WaveGuide logo to the grille
with the pressure sensitive tape.

Unpacking Your Speakers
Before you unpack your speakers, be extra
careful not to touch the cone and tweeter
materials. After carefully unpacking your
speakers, the carton and the packing material
should be saved for possible use later. If any
speaker appears to be damaged, do not attempt
to repair or to connect the unit to the amplifier.
Repack the speaker and notify your distributor or
M&S Systems for replacement or repair.
Speaker Location
Ceiling Installation
Careful consideration must be given to the
speaker location to realize the full frequency
range. Ceiling speakers should be spaced 6 to 8
feet (6 feet for 8-foot ceilings and 8 feet for 10-
tearing wallpaper. Then use a drywall or keyhole
saw to cut along the scored line. Make sure that
you do not cut the hole larger than the outline.
Step 7. Be sure to clear any insulation material
from the speaker back.
Step 8. After you have determined the speaker
locations secure a 16 gauge 2 conductor cable to
the stud using an insulated staple. Leave at least
18 inches of additional cable for connection
during final speaker installation. Run the other
end of the speaker cable to the audio source.
Step 9. Prepare the speaker wiring by stripping
off approximately 3 inches of the outer jacket
(care should be taken so the insulation on the
wires inside the jacket are not damaged) also
strip approximately 3/8 inch off the ends of the
two inside conductors. Twist the ends of the
stranded cable so the wires are tight.
Step 10. Follow the instructions included with the
volume control and amplifier.
Step 11. You are now ready to install the frame.
Remove the paint mask. Be careful not to touch
the speaker cones and tweeters when
removing the paint mask in order to prevent
any damage. Remove the baffle from the frame
and fasten the frame to the drywall. Index the
mounting tabs to make sure that all tabs will clear
the opening. Insert the frame in the wall and
tighten the tabs with the screws on the front of
the baffle. Attach the speaker cable to the
speaker by pressing down on the red (+) or black
(-) gold-plated push terminals and inserting the
