IS-0262 Rev. D
1. Introduction
On-Q/Legrand offers a high end 6.5”, Dual Voice Coil, In-Ceiling,
evōQ™ 7000 speaker for those instances where the room size or
shape does not accommodate a pair of speakers. This speaker,
On-Q part number HT7652 (see Figure 1), is optimized for audio
distribution (central sound), and features a Glass Fiber woofer
and dual aluminum adjustable tweeters. This speaker comes
with a dual template with center markings and a paint ring. An
optional speaker pre-construction bracket is available.
Disclaimer: Make sure you are in compliance with local building
codes before installing this speaker. This On-Q/Legrand evōQ™
7000 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™ 7000 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
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. The On-Q/Legrand evōQ™ 7000 speakers include a switch under the cover labeled “Treb” that has
a (-) setting for bright rooms with hard surfaces or (+) setting for damped rooms with low reflections due to carpet,
drapes, and upholstered furniture. They also include a ½” knockout for an IR target (not included).

3. Installation
Installation of this evōQ™ 7000 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 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.
