LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT
Blueprint Series Loudspeakers are designed to work within any interior decorat-
ing scheme. They can be installed in virtually any location where flush mount-
ing is possible. To maximize their sound performance however certain guidelines
should be followed. For the best stereo reproduction the two loudspeakers should
be placed an equal distance from your listening position and separated so that the
angle between them, at the listening position, is between 40 and 60 degrees.

STEP 1
Using a stud finder (available at low cost at most hardware stores) or other accurate method, locate center point between two joists and mark. Using template
provided, trace hole pattern on surface of ceiling.
STEP 2
Using a sabre saw, keyhole saw or very sharp utility knife, cut hole in wall, following traced pattern.
STEP 3
Run loudspeaker wires to sound source location. There are several methods you
can use to accomplish wiring, depending on the construction characteristics of
the room or house. You can add a professional touch to your installation by using
a speaker terminal plate at the source location. Leave sufficient amount of wire
at speaker location (8 to 10 inches) to complete connection.
STEP 4
Attach loudspeaker wires to speaker terminals, observing correct polarity, and
position speaker frame up into cutout. Be careful not to pinch wires in the
process.
STEP 5
Carefully tighten the four mounting screws. This will cause the mounting wings
to rotate out behind the mounting surface and secure the speaker in place.
STEP 6
After the speaker panel is secured tightly, test for sound. When you are satisfied
the speaker is operational, affix grill. The Model 510CM grill can be installed
into the speaker frame for either a standard flush mount cosmetic appearance or
a recessed look similar to a coilex type of light fixture. After deciding which look
is preferred press the grill into the frame until the leading edge is flush.
