NX-52C, NX-62C, NX-82C 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 In-Ceiling Speakers
Placement can make all the difference in how your speakers sound, and how easy they will be
to install. Carefully consider where your speakers should be positioned. For optimum performance, speakers should be mounted to the left and right of the main listening area and a minimum
of 8 to 10 feet apart (See Fig. 2). Avoid mounting speakers in stud cavities containing electrical
wiring, heating ducts, water pipes, etc. Make sure the ceiling materials are sturdy enough to
support the weight of the speakers.
Adjustable Tweeters (Fig. 3)
The tweeter in your NXG speaker 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, you may find the sound more pleasing by aiming tweeters 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 • Speaker Wire
• Pencil • Phillips Screwdriver • Utility Knife or Drywall Saw • Masking Tape
NXG recommends the use of 16-gauge wire minimum. For wire options consult your retailer
or custom audio contractor.
1. NXG Architectural Speakers are designed to be installed in the ceiling or wall area between
studs. Using a stud finder, make sure you are between two studs. Tape the supplied template
to the wall 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 interfer
the planned installation areas prior to drilling or cutting the wall.

4. Carefully remove the grille and inner grille backing. (Note: The open cell foam inner 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’s outer
frame and perforated grille. (Remove the foam inner grille backing and put it aside in a clean and
dust free area for later reinstallation if desired.) The speaker’s outer surface will accept ordinary
latex wall paint or aerosol spray paint. Because the speaker baffle surface behind the grille should
remain unpainted, you will need to cover this ar
the speaker’s interior black surface, woofer and tweeter. Paint the outer speaker frame and grille
separately. (Grille painting hint: Use a paint roller that is nearly out of paint to first paint the inside
of the grille, then the outside. This will avoid paint filling the grille perforations.)
5. Attach the wire to the input terminals on the rear of the speaker. Remember to maintain
proper polarity with the amplifier by attaching the positive (+) lead to the r
negative (-) lead to the black terminal.

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 locations and mark them 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 speakers 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.
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
ol is in the center position. Activate a musical
contr
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 heard from any or all speakers, switch off the
system immediately and check for open or loose
connections, wrong polarity or shorts, or proper
source selection.
