2. One speaker is playing while the other is not e Check the balance control on the receiver Make sure it is centered e Loose connection at either the receiver or the speaker Double check connections e Bad speaker cable Replace suspect speaker cable Receiver cuts on and off e This could be caused by a short circuit between the positive and negative leads Check the connections at the back of the receiver and then at the speaker make sure that no strands of wire from one connector are touching the other connector 10 Caring For Your Ceiling Speakers The two most common ways that ceiling speakers are permanently damaged 1 Not enough power at higher volumes 2 Too much power at higher volumes Contrary to conventional wisdom far more speakers are damaged as a result of under powering than by overpowering When a receiver runs out of power it still tries to reproduce the musical signal by clipping the waveform At high volume levels this clipping introduces gross amounts of distortion to the speaker eventually destroying it If the sound from your ceiling speakers starts to sound distorted turn down the volume Having plenty of reserve power will help your speakers reproduce dynamic contrasts and quick transients of music much more effectively but you do have to exercise good judgment too much power will also permanently damage a speaker Again if you hear distortion turn the volume down Specifications

4. e steps for the other speaker Speaker Cable Don t compromise sound quality by using thin inexpensive speaker wire we recommend using a high quality oxygen free copper speaker cable For runs less than 50 feet we recommend 16 gauge cable and for longer runs we recommend 14 gauge or larger cable For installations with in room stereo volume controls we recommend using a four conductor speaker wire from receiver to volume controls Most municipalities require the use of CL2 rated speaker cable for installation in walls and ceilings Leave enough speaker cable so you can stand comfortably on the floor or ladder while connecting the speaker cable to the speakers Speaker Connection Remove about 8 of the cable jacket to expose the inner conductors Strip 1 4 of insulation from each conductor and connect to the speaker terminals When connecting the wires to the speakers be sure to observe proper polarity Most CL2 rated speaker cable will have red and black conductors so you will connect the red wire to the red speaker terminal and the black wire to the black speaker terminal For high impedance 70 V applications attach the positive lead from the receiver to the wattage lead on 70 V transformer to be used i e 2 5W and the negative lead from the receiver to the to the common ground lead C on 70 V transformer For low impedance 8 ohm applications connect the positive lead from the receiver to the RED positive termina

7. when right on top of or close to a joist or truss An easier more accurate method for finding the location of joists or trusses is to use a stud finder The Contractor Series Ceiling speakers include a two part template Remove the center circle from the template this is a paint masking template to use if you choose to paint the speaker frames and grill The outer ring is used to mark the cut out for the speakers Once you have established that your chosen location is between two joists or trusses and that there are no obstructions in the ceiling tape your speaker template to the ceiling and lightly trace around the inside edge with a pencil and drill a 1 hole in the center of the template outline Next use a piece of stiff wire a coat hanger works well bend it 8 from the end at a 90 degree angle Insert the bent part of the coat hanger into the 1 hole and rotate the wire in a complete circle to check for obstructions If the wire hits a stud on either side reposition your template to the left or right and mark the outline again Keep the pilot hole within the template outline If the ceiling is made of drywall simply cut the marked area with your utility knife or drywall saw If the ceiling is made of plaster you should use a saw with a higher tooth count to reduce the chance of breaking the plaster Test fit the speaker in the hole the speaker should fit loosely and the speaker frame should cover the edges of the hole Repeat thes
