Frequently Asked Questions - IV140 MONITOR AUDIO

What is the best way to mount the Monitor Audio IV140?

The IV140 can be mounted in-wall or on-wall using the supplied template and brackets. Ensure the wall can support the weight and that the speaker is level. For in-wall installation, cut a hole according to the template and secure the speaker using the tabs.

Can I paint the speaker grille?

Yes, the grille is paintable. Remove the grille, apply thin coats of spray paint suitable for plastic, and allow to dry completely before reinstalling.

What amplifier power is recommended for the IV140?

Amp power between 20 and 120 watts per channel is recommended. Power lower than 20W may not drive the speaker to satisfactory levels, while exceeding 120W risks damage.

How do I clean the Monitor Audio IV140?

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the cabinet and grille. For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid chemical cleaners, alcohol, or abrasive materials.

What is the impedance of the IV140?

The nominal impedance is 6 ohms. Most stereo receivers and amplifiers rated for 4–8 ohms will work fine.

Can I use the IV140 as a center channel?

While designed as a left/right speaker, it can be used as a center if mounted horizontally. Be aware that the tweeter off-axis response may change.

Does the IV140 come with a warranty?

Yes, Monitor Audio offers a limited warranty. Check the included warranty card or contact your dealer for details.

How do I connect the IV140 to my amplifier?

Use high-quality speaker wire (at least 16 AWG). Connect the positive (+) terminal of the speaker to the positive (+) terminal of the amplifier, and negative (-) to negative (-). Tighten the binding posts or banana plugs.

What is the frequency response of the IV140?

The frequency response is 45 Hz to 30 kHz. This covers the full audible range with good bass extension for its size.

Can I install the IV140 outdoors?

The IV140 is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture, humidity, or extreme temperatures can damage the speaker and void the warranty.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation Instructions

1. If using the pre-construction bracket, place this into position now prior to plaster-boarding. The plasterer can then fix the plasterboard around the pre-construction bracket.

1. If not using the pre-construction bracket and the plaster is all ready up, the location of the studs needs to be accurately determined. Draw around template ensuring the speaker is between the centres of the 400mm studs.

1. Cut around the marked line.

1. Test fit the speaker ensuring it fits neatly in the cut out and that the screw holes line up with the studs.

Do not try to remove the printed membrane off the front of the speaker.

1. Check the depth of the speaker is correct. The front white membrane of the speaker should be flush with the plasterboard. If using 12mm plasterboard, there should need to be any additional work to carry out but checking is advisory.

If it is lower than the plasterboard, use the supplied card shims to space it off of the studs.

1. Once you are happy with the fit, wire up the speaker and test that it works.

More bass can be achieved by removing the rear plastic square panel just below the terminal panel.

Note: The sound heard outside of the wall and without plaster is not a true representation of the final sound you will get.

1. Once you are happy with your installation and sound choice, screw the speaker in place

1. Apply webbed tape over the screws so that it bridges the gap between the speaker membrane and the plasterboard. The card shims can be used here as well if you wish to reduce the void between the outer edge of the frame and the membrane - plasterboard level.
2. Plaster the speaker into the wall with no more than 3mm of plaster.
