1. Introduction
On-Q/Legrand offers five (5) styles of evōQ™ 7000
Speakers; In-Ceiling, Dual Voice Coil, Angled InCeiling, In-Wall, Outdoor, plus a 12” Sub-Woofer. There

Wall styles (6.5” and 8”) see Figure 1. The Dual Voice
Coil speaker for smaller spaces, Angled In-Ceiling
speakers and Outdoor speakers are offered only with
6.5” drivers. All evōQ™ 7000 speakers are optimized
for high end home theater and high quality distributed
audio distribution (central sound). All models (except
the Sub-Woofer) are 2-way speakers that feature glass
fiber woofers and aluminum swivel tweeters. These
speakers come with dual templates with center
markings and paint rings. Optional speaker preconstruction brackets are available for all models.

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 a
scrim cloth to enhance the speakers appearance once installed
paint-able and 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 the evōQ™ 7000 speakers 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, 2 conductor wire be
used for most applications from the amplifier or volume control to the 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/2 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 speakers 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 both speakers in a space, blocking
can be installed to yield the ideal cubic footage for each
driver. Insulation would then be put in this space during
speaker installation. Refer to blocking chart for
details.
7. If installing speakers in a space with an attic above it is
recommended that the speakers 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 wire in the RED terminal and
the negative wire in the BLACK terminal.
NOTE: Wiring both speakers identically as the above
instruction states will yield speakers that are “in phase”. If
one speaker is wired opposite of the other, the speakers will
be “out of phase” with one another. If the speakers 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.
