In-Wall Home Theater 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 In-Wall 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
in a center-channel application, speaker should be mounted directly above or below TV or moni­tor. For optimum performance when used in right and left main listening positions, speakers
should be mounted to the left and right of the main listening position 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 sur
weight of the speakers.

Note: When the NX-PRO5520CLR is mounted horizontally in a center-channel application, mod­ification may need to be made to the stud cavity to accommodate speaker.

Adjustable Tweeter (Fig. 3)

The tweeter in the NX-PRO5520CLR 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 the tweeter toward a
particular listening area. To adjust the tweeter angle, apply pressure on the ring surrounding the
tweeter with your thumb or finger.

Speaker Installation In Existing Construction (See Fig. 4)

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 16-gauge wire minimum. For wire options consult your retailer or
custom audio contractor.

1. NXG In-Wall Speakers are designed to be installed in the wall area between studs. Using a stud
finder, make sure you are between two studs. Using the supplied template and a level to ensure your
template is straight, tape the 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 cer
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. Remove the grille fr
Speakers, skip to step 5, but if if you want your speakers to blend in with a colored wall, now is
the time to paint your speakers outer frames and perforated grilles. The speakers outer surfaces
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
face, woofer and tweeter. Paint the outer speaker frame and grille separately.

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 six 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.
