1. Introduction
On-Q/Legrand offers a 6.5”, Angled, In-Ceiling, evōQ™ 5000
series speaker for Home Theater applications. The evōQ™ 5000
Angled In-Ceiling Speaker (P/N HT5655) employs drivers
mounted at a 15° angle (see Figure 1) to the ceiling surface.
This allows the speaker to have identical performance
characteristics as the evōQ™ 5000 In-Ceiling 6.5” Speaker (P/N
364660-01), from any listening position in the room. The speaker
is optimized for the demands of home theater sound. It employs
a 2-way design that features a Poly Cone woofer and a UFLC
(Urethane Film Laminated Cloth) Dome tweeter with swivel
capability. It comes with dual templates with center markings and
paint rings. Optional speaker pre-construction brackets are
available.
NOTE: Although this speaker uses a 6.5” driver, it is
mounted in an 8” speaker frame, which means it requires an
8” speaker pre-construction bracket (P/N 364673-02).
Disclaimer: Make sure you are in compliance with local building codes before installing this speaker.
This On-Q/Legrand evōQ™ 5000 In-Ceiling Speaker is suitable for moisture rich environments such as
bathrooms or saunas, but not outdoor applications.

2. Description
The On-Q/Legrand evōQ™ 5000 speakers are made of a tough semi-flexible plastic frames that feature a
built in foam gasket to minimize vibration and maximize seal-ability. They also feature a perforated metal grill
with an acoustically transparent scrim cloth to enhance the speakers appearance once installed
speakers, except sub woofers, are paint-able. They also come with painting shields to protect the drivers
while painting. These speakers are suitable for moisture rich environments. They also feature flip out tabs for
easy installation and removal.
3. Installation
Installation of this evōQ™ 5000 speaker is best accomplished at multiple times during new construction, at
“Rough-in” before the drywall is installed, and at “Trim-out” after the drywall is installed and painted.
A. “Rough-in” steps:
NOTE: It is recommended that a minimum of 16 gauge, 4 conductor wire be
used for most applications from the amplifier or volume control to this speaker.
Different gauges can, and should, be used based upon the distance of the
intended run or quality of installation (see Figure 2).
NOTE: All On-Q/Legrand lyriQ™ Audio components accommodate wire gauges
from 18 to 14.

1. Run x/4 conductor (x=gauge preference) stranded speaker wire from the distribution/volume control
to the speaker location (pre-wiring).
2. If an On-Q Speaker Pre-Construction Bracket is to be used, skip to
Step “5” and refer to IS-0243 for detailed instructions.
3. If pre-wiring without
Brackets, leave 4 to 6 feet of wire at the speaker’s intended location.
Use a strip of cardboard stapled to the joints/studs with a hole
through it as a wire place holder for the drywall installers if
installation of the speakers is intended (see Figure 3).
4. After drywall and/or painting is complete, push wire through hole,
center template over hole, mark with a pencil and cut out with a drywall knife.
5. When using the On-Q Pre-Construction Bracket (see
Figure 4), leave a coil of speaker wire on top of the
bracket coiled around the speaker mounting hole. There
are clips on the corner of the bracket to secure the
speaker wire. Leave enough speaker wire to be able to
pull the wire through the bracket and comfortably
connect the wire to the speaker after the drywall is
installed. Strip off 3 inches or so of the speaker cable
jacket to expose the positive and negative insulated
wires. Strip 3/8-1/2 inch of insulation off of these
conductors.
6. It is recommended to place insulation behind the
speaker to provide some damping for the woofer driver.
This will yield the best possible sound. On-Q
recommends using poly-encapsulated insulation such as
Johns Manville Comfort Therm®. If a defined, consistent
sound is desired from the speaker in a space, blocking
can be installed to yield the ideal cubic footage for the
driver. Insulation would then be put in this space during
speaker installation. Refer to blocking chart for
details.
7. If installing the speaker in a space with an attic above it is
recommended that the speaker be boxed in with 1/2 inch
MDF (medium density fiber board) or plywood with
insulation installed. This will provide a defined acoustic
space and protect the speaker. The best possible sound
will be achieved by doing this. Refer to the blocking
chart for details.
Note: Make sure you are in compliance with local building codes before installing this speaker in
an attic space.

B. “Trim-out” steps:
1. After drywall and/or painting is complete, push the speaker wire
through hole, center template over hole, mark with a pencil and cut
out with a dry-wall knife.
2. Hold the speaker with one hand, (if speaker grill is off, pay careful
attention not
to push on the woofer’s cone, this can cause
permanent contortion of the voice coil, thus producing a
mechanical rubbing sound or speaker failure), push in the speaker
terminal connectors and insert wires; remove speaker grill. Be
sure to have the positive wires in the RED terminals and the
negative wires in the BLACK terminals.
NOTE: Wiring both drivers of this speaker identically as the
above instruction states will yield a speaker whose drivers are
“in phase”. If one speaker driver is wired opposite of the
other, the speaker drivers will be “out of phase” with one
another. If the speaker drivers are “out of phase” the sound
might appear smeared (canned) and a significant loss of bass
might be noticeable due to phase cancellation. Make sure
every installed speaker is correctly phased.
3. Rotate the speaker driver towards the listening area and use
one hand to push the speaker into the cut out (again, pay
careful attention not to push on the woofer’s cone, this can
cause permanent contortion of the voice coil, thus producing
mechanical rubbing sound or speaker failure) and the other to
turn the screws that engage the installation tabs (see Figure
5). Tighten the tabs in a cross or X-pattern until “snug”. Be
careful not to over tighten the tabs or damage could result. The
speaker should appear flush to the surface.
NOTE: If using a cordless drill/screwdriver, it is suggested
that the screws be turned until almost tight, then finish
tightening via a hand screwdriver.
NOTE: A strip of grill adhesive is provided to more securely attach the speaker grills on final
installation. Simply insert several short strips evenly around the grill slot prior to installing the
grill cover. Prior to final installation of the grill, adjust the tweeter for optimum sound at the
listening area.
