Frequently Asked Questions - AMP-HD2SIC62 OWI

What cutout size is required for the OWI AMP-HD2SIC62?

The required cutout diameter is 7.5 inches (190 mm). Ensure the ceiling hole is clean and free of obstructions.

How do I install the speaker in a ceiling?

First, trace and cut a 7.5-inch hole. Connect speaker wires to the spring-loaded terminals (observing polarity). Insert the speaker into the hole and tighten the four dog ears by turning the screws clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten.

Can I paint the speaker grille?

Yes, the grille is paintable. Remove the grille before painting. Use thin coats of latex paint to avoid clogging the perforations. Allow to dry fully before reinstalling.

What type of speaker wire should I use?

Use 16 to 14 AWG stranded speaker wire. Strip about 1/4 inch (6 mm) of insulation and insert into the spring-loaded terminals. Ensure correct polarity: red to positive (+), black to negative (-).

Is the AMP-HD2SIC62 suitable for outdoor or damp locations?

No, this speaker is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof or moisture-resistant. Do not install in bathrooms, kitchens, or covered patios without additional protection.

Can I use this speaker with a 70V distributed audio system?

The AMP-HD2SIC62 is an 8-ohm, low-impedance speaker. It is not compatible with 70V systems unless you add an external step-down transformer (not included). For 70V use, consider OWI's 70V series.

What amplifier power is recommended for these speakers?

An amplifier delivering 30 to 120 watts per channel into 8 ohms is ideal. Match the amplifier RMS power to the speaker's 60-watt RMS rating for best performance and longevity.

Does the speaker come with a mounting template?

The packaging includes a cardboard cutout template for marking the 7.5-inch hole. If missing, use a compass or trace the inner ring of the speaker frame.

How do I connect the speaker wires to the terminals?

Press down on the spring-loaded terminal tab to open the hole. Insert the stripped wire end and release the tab. Gently tug the wire to confirm it is secure.

Are mounting screws included?

Yes, the speaker comes with four mounting screws for the dog ears. Additional screws for securing the grille are not needed as it snaps into place.

Introduction

The OWI AMP-HD2SIC6 is a three source integratable self powered speaker/amplifier. This speaker can drive up three additional speakers connected series parallel to have a net impedance of 8 ohms. With an included UL Listed, Level 5 (Energy Star), 15 volt, 3.5 ampere power supply, the amplifier can output 40 watts, or 10 watts per speaker in a four speaker hook-up.

Special features of the OWI Model AMP-HD2SIC6 include:

Three (3) audio inputs: Stereo 3.5 Mini Jack Line Input, Balanced Line Input, proprietary Cat 5 Input for OWI Products only

Input # 1 Stereo 3.5 Mini Jack Line Input - The JACK LINE IN accepts unbalanced input via 3.5 mini jack. The stereo channels are summed together. This input is muted when the Priority Override is in use.

Input # 2 Balanced Line Input - The LINE IN inputs accepts a balanced input via a Phoenix style screw terminal plug.

Input # 2 has the Priority Override Feature connected to it. - The Priority input accepts balanced input levels 1 volt (approximately line level) audio and Speaker level at 1 watt or less. Audio on the Priority input suspends audio on the 3.5 mini jack and Cat 5 Inputs and switches the speaker amplifier to pass the Priority audio. After the Priority audio stops, the unit waits before returning to the Line In and Jack Line In audio input.

Input # 3 Cat 5 input - Proprietary Cat 5 input for OWI Products only. Use only with OWI MC4. Future models will work with the OWI AMPSTVCW volume control.

Priority Override Paging (POP) – The POP controls are the POP Trigger level and the POP Volume level

POP Volume Level – The POP Volume level is the level at which the speaker will play the POP Message. This level can be set from Zero to MAX

POP Trigger Level – Adjust this by rotating if from more to less sensitive. If this is too low it will not trigger the controller to switch. If it is set too high it will constantly stay on and not go back to the needed settling.

Switches

POP / ALL SOURCES MIXED SWITCH – When the amplifier is going to be used in a Priority Override mode place the switch to the Priority Override

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Installation is to be completed by a qualified electrical technician according to NEC/CEC code and applicable local codes.

Speaker Placement

Before installing your OWI speakers, consider the placement carefully, taking into effect the location of electrical, plumbing and other fixtures.

Placement in Ceiling

OWI speakers should be located above the primary listening area.

Mounting your OWI speakers

Determine the best area to mount your OWI speakers. It will be necessary to run your speaker wires to that location. This location must be free of obstructions, such as electrical conduits, HVAC ducts, or water lines.

Be sure the mounting surface is between 3/8 and 1 14 inches thick and that there is at least a 3 inch clearance behind the mounting surface (5 inch if using an OWI backcan). Make sure that no objects block the back of the speaker.

Remove the round cardboard disc from the template supplied and keep it for later use as a paint mask, if you decide to paint your speakers.

Use the template to mark the position for the mounting hole at the selected location. If you are not certain that no obstruction exists (electrical wiring, plumbing, etc.), you should start by cutting a small hole in the center of your penciled mounting hole with a drywall or keyhole saw, cutting at a 45 degree angle towards the inside of the hole. Cutting a small hole at this angle will make drywall repair much easier. Once you have determined there are no obstructions in your desired mounting location, start cutting the finished hole at a 90 degree angle to the ceiling surface.

Route the speaker wires from your amplifier to your opening. Avoid routing the speaker wire near electrical wires. If you have to run them parallel, make certain to space the speaker wires at least 2 feet from the AC line. Do not nail or staple the speaker wire.

Prepare Your OWI Speakers for Mounting

Insert a paper clip into one of the grille openings, then pull upwards to remove the grille. Turn the mounting tab 90° and push toward the grill. The grill will safely pop off.

Be sure to position the four Mounting Tabs on your OWI speaker inward then insert the four (4) screws (supplied) from the front of the speaker into the screw opening.

According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), if the GT contains lines used for stylistic emphasis or as background elements (like ruled paper), the OCR result must ignore them. The OCR content provided is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is incorrect because underscores are not equivalent to a solid line and are not permitted under the “Stylistic/Background Lines (Ignore)” rule. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist in the GT, violating the rule to ignore stylistic lines. Therefore, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
