OWNER’S MANUAL

NX-622DVC Dual Voice Coil Ceiling-Mount Speaker System

Congratulations on choosing NXG In-Ceiling 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 Speaker

Placement can make all the difference in how your speaker will sound, and how easy
it will be 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.

Speaker Installation In Existing Construction (See Fig. 3)

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 • Utility Knife or Drywall Saw • Small Level

• Masking Tape • Phillips Screwdriver • Speaker Wire

NXG recommends the use of a minimum of 16-gauge wire. For wire options consult
your retailer 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 drywall saw. You may want to start with a small hole in the
center of the outline. This will allow you to check for any obstructions that may exist
behind the desired 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.

3. Run speaker wire from your amplifier, volume control or speaker switching device
to the speaker location.

4. Carefully r
grille backing is designed to hide speaker components from view and may be removed
if desired.) If you like the standard white finish of your NXG
speakers, skip to step 5, but if if you want your speakers to
blend in with a colored wall or ceiling, now is the time to
paint your speaker’

5. Attach the wire to the input terminals (right and
eft) on the rear of the speaker. Remember to main-

l
tain proper polarity with the amplifier by attaching the
positive (+) lead to the red terminal and the negative
(-) lead to the black terminal.

6. See Fig. 4. With the speaker wire attached to the

speaker, slide the speaker up inside the cut-out hole.
Center the speaker in the cut-out hole and turn the
four locking screws clockwise 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.

Operational Check

After making all connections it’s a good idea to make sure every thing is working
properly. Turn on your surround or stereo system making sure the volume control
is turned down and that the balance control is in the center position. Activate a
musical or movie source such as FM, a CD or DVD player. Gently turn up the vol­ume, you should hear sound coming from your new NXG speakers. If no sound is

eard from any or all speakers, switch off the system immediately and check for

h

pen or loose connections, wrong polarity or shorts, or proper source selection.
