NX-C5.2-X, NX-C6.2-X 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 Tilt-Swivel Tweeter Island (Fig. 3)

The tweeter island in the NXG ceiling speakers can be directed toward the listening area allowing
you to tailor the speaker's dispersion pattern to better fit the desired listening area. The overall
smoothest response is achieved with the tweeter island facing straight out; however, you may find
the sound more pleasing by aiming the tweeters toward a particular listening position. To adjust
the tweeter island direction, you can rotate the tweeter housing as shown in Fig. 3a.

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

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

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 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’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 baf
need to cover this area with the supplied cardboard paint mask. Cover the speaker
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 red terminal and the negative (-)
lead to the black terminal.

6. See Fig. 5. 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.

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.

Operational Check

After making all connections it’s a good idea
to make sure every thing is working properly.
