URC Total Control 2.0 SP-DV6, SP-8EX Owner's Manual

Overview:

Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of URC's architectural in-ceiling
speakers. You have embarked on a listening and style experience that brings enjoyment
to your home for years to come. The following instructions provide detailed procedures
for expert installation of URC's architectural speaker systems for maximum performance.

URC's architectural speakers have been carefully crafted for easy installation in a variety
of residential applications. By following this step-by-step process you will soon enjoy
the signature sound that is the hallmark of all URC's architectural audio products.

Preliminary Inspection:

Your URC's architectural speakers left our factory after rigorous manufacturing
process control and final quality inspection. Carefully unpack your new speakers and
inspect for any damage that may have occurred during shipment or subsequent
handling.

For best performance, we recommend you use at least 18 gauge speaker wire. For
new home construction, wiring will generally be done prior to the installation of wall
board and should already be in the desired location. For installation into existing
construction we recommend you consult an expert installer. Be sure to pull wires by
the most expedient and efficient route.

We have tried to make our installation guide as easy to follow as possible.
Please take a little time to become familiar with the contents to avoid unforeseen and
irritating mistakes.

Optimum Speaker Location:

The SP-DV6 consists of dual tweeters with dual voice coils into a single speaker to
produce stereo sound. An excellent solution to deliver stereo audio into smaller rooms
(office space, study, kitchen, bathroom, etc.). Consider the room environment and
furniture placement while selecting your primary listening area.

Note: Before installing your speakers, make note of the locations of lighting fixtures,
electrical wiring, plumbing, HVAC ducting, or any other possible obstructions.

After you have selected the best speaker location, locate the framing studs or ceiling
joists. This is to avoid obstructions when making your speaker cut-outs. Each URC's
architectural in-ceiling speaker includes a cut-out template with an outline of the exact
hole size. Make a small hole near the center of your cut-out template. Check for any
possible interference before making the complete cut-out. If you find no obstructions,
cut out the entire speaker hole and check for insulation. If there is no insulation above
your speaker cut-out, we recommend placing a square of Dacron or fiberglass
dampening material above the speaker hole. Make sure any foil or paper backing is
facing away from the rear of the speaker.

Pivoting Tweeters:

● Point directly at the listening areas for a more direct sound source

● Reflect sound off hard surfaces for a more diffused sound field
