OWNER’S MANUAL
NX-C6.2-DVC-X 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
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 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
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 baf
surface behind the grille should remain unpainted, you will
need to cover this area with the supplied cardboard paint
s interior black surface, woofer and
mask. Cover the speaker
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 (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 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
o
r 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.

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.
