STEP 1
Mount the SolidDrive SD1g onto the glass surface
The SolidDrive SD1g should be mounted in an inconspicuous location of the window.Simply apply the VHB pad that comes with the drive to the base of the drive (the side opposite the label). Remove one side of the protective layers from the VHB disc and apply to the base of the SD1g. Then remove the other protective layer and apply to glass surface with moderate pressure.
When mounting the SolidDrive on the window, keep it about 4 to 6 inches from the window frame. The SolidDrive SD1g will have maximum output with at least 20 square feet of window surface space (Figure 1).
STEP 2
Make the electrical connections
Make the electrical connection between the SolidDrive SD1g and the speaker cable using the Eurostyle connector attached to the end of the SolidDrive SD1g audio cable. The polarity of the wiring is clearly indicated (Figure 2). NOTE:When installed in Canada, this product must be
installed in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1, Part1.
NOTE: If installing the SD1g using the optional heat sink, slide it over the SD1g housing body and tighten with the included mini hex key. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as this could strip the screw.
STEP 3
Equalize the SolidDrive SD1g sound system
The surface material plays a key role in the systems sound performance. To ensure an optimal listening experience the installer MUST equalize the SolidDrive SD1g system. Equalization is accomplished by using the optional SolidDrive Glass Passive Equalization Module (not UL approved) or using the auto equalization feature available on some receivers.
INSTALLATION NOW COMPLETE – ENJOY THE SOLIDDRIVE SD1G SOUND SYSTEM
Now that you’ve completed the installation process and equalization, you can enjoy the audio perfection of the Induction Dynamics SolidDrive SD1g sound system.
HIGH OUTPUT INSTALLATIONS
For installations requiring high output or on very large glass surfaces two SolidDrive SD1gs should be used for each of the channels with the two SD1gs wired in series for each channel (Figure 3). When mounting the SD1g on the glass surface, keep the drives approximately 4-6 inches apart and around 4-6 inches from the window frame.
