Considerations

  • Where is the best place to install the speakers?
  • Where do the speakers sound the best?
  • Separate the speakers 6 - 10 feet apart.

  • (For Ceiling LCR models only) Place speakers with the 15° angled woofer pointed towards the main listening area.

  • If you intend to paint the grilles, do so before installation.

Placement

There are many options for proper speaker placement depending upon speaker type and application. It's important to carefully plan the placement of your speakers, as installation requires that you cut a hole in your wall or ceiling.

(See Diagram 1.) Typical speaker placement for a 5.1 and 7.1 speaker system.

Installation:

Cut Out

NOTE: This is the most important part of the entire installation. If you are not certain whether any obstructions exist behind the desired mounting area, you should start by cutting a small hole in the center of your penciled mounting hole with a drywall saw.

Trace along the included template. Cut along the traced line using a drywall saw or rotary drill. Use a piece of sandpaper to sand down the cut out edge for a smoother contour. (See Diagram 2.)

Mounting

Tighten the mounting brackets by simply turning the screws on the front of the speaker baffle slowly clockwise. The quick-turn mounting system and frame will "sandwich" or clamp around the dry-wall to hold the speaker securely in place once fully tightened to the locked position.

(See Diagram 3.)

Connection

When connecting any speakers to the amplifier or receiver, always make sure the power is off. Locate the connection terminals on the back of your receiver or amplifier. Always make sure to connect audio out from the back of your receiver or amplifier to the speakers. (See Diagram 4.)

NOTE: Not all Amplifier/Receivers can safely play more than one pair of speakers at once. Please refer to your owner's manual for impedance and wattage compatibility.

Adjustment

On select models ( *Performance, Reference ) of OSD Black Series, a front mounted 3 position ±3dB treble contour switch can be used to tailor high frequencies according to speaker placement or the listeners preference.

(See Diagram 5.)

* Excludes Shallow Mount Series

Pivoting Tweeter

Your Black series speaker comes from the factory with the tweeter centered in the neutral position. This will provide the smoothest response. However, select models come with a pivoting tweeter so you can focus the sound directly towards the listening area if needed. In order to do this, carefully press on the edge of the tweeter baffle in the direction you wish to focus the sound. (See Diagram 6.)

CAUTION: When adjusting the pivoting tweeter be sure not to touch the dome as you may cause damage to the speaker.
