Frequently Asked Questions - Muro OD-M61T ELAC

What is the recommended wire gauge for installation?

Use multi-stranded speaker wire. For runs up to 100 ft (30 m), use 18 gauge; up to 150 ft (45 m) use 16 gauge; up to 250 ft (80 m) use 14 gauge; up to 400 ft (122 m) use 12 gauge; up to 650 ft (198 m) use 10 gauge.

How do I set the 70/100V tap on the Muro OD-M61T?

Rotate the tap switch behind the rear cover to the desired wattage. For 70V systems, choose among 3.8W, 7.5W, 15W, or 30W. For 100V systems, choose 7.5W, 15W, or 30W. Ensure total speaker wattage does not exceed amplifier power rating with a 10-20% safety margin.

Can I use the Muro OD-M61T outdoors in rain?

Yes, it is IP66 rated, meaning it is weather-resistant and can withstand rain and dust. However, if using the ported configuration (removing port plugs), do so only when weather conditions permit.

How do I mount the speaker on a wall?

Use the included bracket. Attach the bracket to a structurally sound surface (joist, stud, brick, or concrete with appropriate anchors). Use two screws (#14-#20 diameter, 2 in length or M6-M8 x 50 mm). Secure the speaker to the bracket and tighten side bolts. For extra safety, attach a safety cable to the U-bolt on the back.

Can I orient the speaker horizontally?

Yes, the speaker can be mounted horizontally or vertically without affecting sound quality. The bracket allows rotation to direct sound toward listeners.

How do I remove the grille?

Remove the grille locking screws located at the top and bottom of the speaker. Then carefully lift off the grille to access the drivers.

What is the purpose of the removable port plugs?

Removing the port plugs converts the speaker from a sealed to a ported design, enhancing bass performance. Use this configuration only when weather conditions are dry to avoid moisture ingress.

What amplifier power is recommended for the Muro OD-M61T?

The recommended amplifier power range is 30 to 150 watts. The speaker can handle 80W nominal and 130W peak.

How do I ensure proper polarity when connecting the Euroblock?

Strip about 12 mm of insulation, twist bare strands, and insert into the correct Euroblock terminals. Match positive (red) from amplifier to positive on speaker, and negative to negative. Ensure wires do not touch each other after connection.

What is the warranty period for the ELAC Muro OD-M61T?

ELAC Americas Inc. offers a 3-year limited warranty for the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty applies to home use within North America. Proof of purchase is required for service.

JOURNEY TOGETHER THROUGH - THE LIFE OF SOUND

WHAT'S INCLUDED

PRODUCT FEATURES

Avoid damage to the speakers and other components:

• Unbox the speakers carefully to avoid physically damaging your speakers.
• Use appropriate gauge wires
• Make sure wire polarity is connected correctly. Most speaker cables are coded for ease of use. Make sure positive (red) connection on the amplifier terminal is connected to the positive (red) on your speakers.
  • Follow the same instructions for the negative side.
• Strip off approximately 12 " of the insulation from the ends of the speaker cable, twist the bare strands and insert into the Euroblock
• Ensure your equipment is turned off before connecting speakers.
• Check to ensure positive and negative wires are not touching each other once they're connected to the speaker terminals.

Wire Recommendation

The gauge of the wire significantly affects the performance of your speakers. For optimal results, use multi-stranded wire specifically designed for amplifier-to-speaker connections.

When selecting the wire gauge, consider the length of the wire run to each speaker. Longer wire runs require larger gauge wire to maintain performance and minimize signal loss.

WIRE GAUGE CHART

WIRE GAUGE DISTANCE

18 Gauge Up to 100 feet (30 meters)

16 Gauge Up to 150 feet (45 meters)

14 Gauge Up to 250 feet (80 meters)

12 Gauge Up to 400 feet (122 meters)

To ensure safe and secure installation, follow these guidelines when mounting your speaker:

SECURE MOUNTING SURFACE

- The bracket must be attached to a structurally sound surface that can support the weight of the speaker and withstand vibrations during operation.

SCREW REQUIREMENTS

• Always use two screw points for mounting.
• Recommended screw sizes:
- #14 to #20 diameter x 2" length
• M6 to M8 diameter x 50mm length

SURFACE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATION

• For drywall or plasterboard, secure the bracket to a joist or stud.
• For brick or concrete, use wall plugs or concrete anchors to ensure stability.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

- Attach a safety cable to the U-bolt on the back of the speaker for additional security.

• You can rotate the speaker in the bracket to direct the sound towards the listeners.
• Loosen the side bolts on the speaker
• Rotate the speakers to the desired position.
• Lock the side bolts on the speaker

The 70/100-Volt tap allows you to adjust the power level for your speaker in distributed audio systems. CHOOSE THE DESIRED WATTAGE

- Rotate the dial or adjust the switch to the wattage setting appropriate for your system's power requirements. Available wattage options will typically be marked (e.g., 3.8W, 7W, 15W).

SETTING 70/100-VOLT TAPS WITHOUT EXCEEDING AMPLIFIER POWER RATING

- When configuring a distributed audio system, it's essential to ensure the total power draw of the speakers does not exceed the amplifier's power rating. Follow these steps:

CHOOSE THE DESIRED WATTAGE

• Identify the amplifier's maximum power output (e.g., 120W, 250W).
• Add up the wattage settings (taps) of all speakers in the system.
  • Example: If you have four speakers set to 20W each, the total load is 80W.
• Adjust each speaker's tap setting to ensure the total combined wattage does not exceed the amplifier's power rating
• To avoid overloading, leave a 10 - 20% safety margin below the amplifier's maximum power.
  • Example: For a 120W amp, keep the total speaker load below 100-110W.
