In-Wall 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,
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 sure the wall or ceiling materials are sturdy enough
to support the weight of the speakers.

In-Wall Placement: Optimum performance will be achieved when your speakers are mounted at
ear level or slightly higher. If you desire to mount them higher in the wall, turn the speaker over
so the tweeter is closer to the listening area.

In-Ceiling Placement: Optimum performance will be achieved when your speakers are mounted
to the left and right of the main listing area.

Adjustable Tweeters (Fig. 3)

The tweeters in all NXG Pro Series speakers 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 pr
your thumb or finger

.

Tweeter/Midrange Level Adjustments (Fig. 3)

The level switches allow you to tailor the speakers’ frequency response to better match the room’s
acoustics. As an example, if a r
sounding, you may want to adjust the tweeter and midrange levels to compensate. You can
experiment with both levels to find the sound that’s most pleasing to you in your particular
listening environment.

It is recommended that your speakers be mounted with the tweeters facing the inside as shown.

Speaker Installation In Existing Construction (See Fig. 5 on reverse)

Once you have selected the location for your speakers, you are ready to install them.
Y

ou will need the following:

• Stud Finder • Drill & Drill Bits • Wire Cutter/ Strippers

• Pencil • Utility Knife or Drywall Saw • Small Level

• Masking T

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 wall area between studs. Using a
stud finder, make sure you are between two studs. Using the supplied template and a level to

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 obstr
tion. 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 baffle sur­face behind the grille should remain unpainted, you will need to
cover this area with the supplied cardboard paint mask. Cover
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 red terminal and
the negative (-) lead to the black terminal.

6. See Fig. 6. 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 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.

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.

system making sure the volume control is turned down and that
the balance control is in the center position. Activate a musical
