NX-522DVC Dual Voice Coil Ceiling-Mount Speaker System

Congratulations on choosing NXG In-Wall Loudspeakers.
Like all NXG products, great care has been taken in their
design. Their combination of advanced engineering and
state-of-the-art materials will provide you with years of
listening pleasure, while blending smoothly into your
home’s decor. Before you get started, it is a good idea
to identify all the parts and hardware (See Fig. 1).

Where To Place Your Ceiling Speakers

Placement can make all the dif
to install. Carefully consider where your speaker should be positioned. For optimum perform­ance, the speaker should be mounted as close as possible to the center of the main listening area
(See Fig. 2). Avoid mounting the speaker in stud cavities containing electrical wiring, heating
ducts, water pipes, etc. Make sure the wall or ceiling materials are sturdy enough to support the
weight of the speaker.

Adjustable T

The tweeter in the NXG Model NX-522DVC may be adjusted, allowing you to tailor the speaker to
better fit the listening area. The overall smoothest response is achieved with the tweeter facing
straight out: however, when the speaker cannot be mounted in an optimal location, you may
find the sound more pleasing by aiming the tweeter toward a particular listening area. To adjust
the tweeter, apply pressure on the ring surrounding the tweeter with your thumb or finger.

Speaker Installation In Existing Construction (See Fig. 4 on reverse)

Once you have selected the location for your speakers, you are ready to install them.
You will need the following:

• Stud Finder • Drill & Drill Bits • Wire Cutter/Strippers

• Pencil

• Masking Tape • Phillips Screwdriver • Speaker Wire

• Utility Knife or Drywall Saw • Small Level

mounting clamps

NXG r
or custom audio contractor.

1. NXG Architectural Speakers are designed to be installed in the wall or ceiling area between
studs. Using a stud finder, make sure you are between two studs. Using the supplied template,
tape the template to the ceiling and lightly trace around the inside with a pencil.

2. Cut the hole using your dr

location. CAUTION: Be certain electrical wiring, water pipes or heating ducts do not interfere in
the planned installation areas prior to drilling or cutting the wall.

4. Remove the grille from the speaker. If you like the standar
Speakers, skip to step 5, but if if you want your speakers to blend in with a color
the time to paint your speaker’s outer frame and perforated grille. The speaker’s outer surface
will accept ordinary latex wall paint or aerosol spray paint. Because the surface behind the grille
should remain unpainted, you will need to cover this ar
surface, woofer and tweeter. Paint the outer speaker frame and grille separately.

5. Attach the wire to the input terminals (right and left) on the rear of the speaker. Remember
to maintain proper polarity with the amplifier by attaching the positive (+) lead to the red termi­nal and the negative (-) lead to the black ter

speaker, slide the speaker up inside the cut-out hole.
Center the speaker in the cut-out hole and turn the
four locking screws counterclockwise until the speak­er is drawn up snugly to the wall board from behind,
clamping the speaker in place. Try to tighten each
screw equally. Replace the speaker grill by gently
pressing it into place.

New Construction

1. Determine speaker location and mark it on
your plans for future reference.

2. If possible, run speaker wires after HVAC and
electrical wiring is in place.

3. Secure speaker wires in place along the run with
insulated staples only and be careful not to pierce the
wire’s insulation. Allow a bit of slack for expansion
of building materials.

4. Needless to say, the actual speaker should not
be installed until the wall board is in place. In the
meantime, leave several feet of wire coiled up and
secured at the back side of the mounting hole.

5. To complete the installation follow steps 2
through 5 above.
