ood Construction Cover Aperture Wiring Terminals Cover Screws (X4)18 PCI 7DC IW and BACK CAN Quick Start Guide 19 Installation Guide BACK CAN Installation WARNING: This procedure requires the use of an assistant, and the use of personal protection equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves. WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the power ampliier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cables. WARNING: Make sure that there are no power lines, other cables, or plumbing such as water, sewer, gas lines in the chosen location. The procedure below describes the installation and wiring of the PCI 7DC IW back can into a typical 2" x 4" stud wall with 16" centers, with drywall/plasterboard not yet installed. After the back can and drywall is installed, the PCI 7DC IW speaker assembly can be connected to the back can wiring and installed, and the paint mask added during wall painting and finishing. Procedure Follow the procedure steps below in the order in which they are presented. Read all the instructions before starting.

1. Locate a suitable mounting position for the loudspeaker that will ofer optimum

acoustic performance for the listening environment and audio system, and that is also practical and aesthetically pleasing.

2. Allow enough room for the speaker wire to enter the bottom cable gland, and

with enough room to tighten the screws that hold the brackets to the back can.

3. Install the four brackets onto the wall studs, and make sure the distance

between the top and bottom brackets is as shown in Fig. 1.

4. With the help of an assistant, carefully lift the back can between the brackets

(Fig. 2), with the cable entry at the bottom.

5. Make sure that the back can is plumb and level, and its front face is lush with

the front face of the wall studs. Screw the 4 brackets to the back can.

6. Note: If you install the back can with the cable entry at the top, then the four

small brackets that accept the speaker assembly screws, need to be rotated through 180 degrees. Undo the 2 small screws, and re-orient each small bracket as shown (Fig. 2b).

WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the

amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cables.

WARNING: Before switching the amplifier ON, double check that all connections

are secure and that the polarity is correct. The speaker wire connections are made to the internal terminals inside the back can. There are two internal tubes that allow the speaker wiring to be inserted and to come out near the speaker terminals inside the back can. The speaker terminals are pre-wired to an internal connector which attaches to the speaker assembly when it is installed. The speaker terminals are designed to take substantial high quality loudspeaker cable.

1. Remove the cover from the back can by undoing the four screws holding it in

2. Install the speaker wire in through one of the cable glands, and leave enough

slack to make the connections (Fig. 4). Tighten the cable gland, and tie down the speaker cable to prevent it moving and rattling in operation. Make sure that the speaker cable does not come into contact with nails or screws that might damage the insulation. A second cable gland is provided to allow a second speaker cable run to be installed.

3. Strip approximately 8 mm (1/4") of the outer protective layer from

4. The positive wire from your ampliier should go to one of the red (positive)

terminals inside the back can (Fig.5). The negative wire from your ampliier should connect to one of the black (negative) terminals. You can use the other red and black terminals to run speaker wiring out of the other cable gland and out to another speaker.

5. Make sure that the speaker cables are secured inside the back can so they will

not move and touch the speaker cone when it is installed.

6. The cover may be reinstalled until it is time for the drywall installation.

Screws (X4)CoverWiring Connectors Speaker Wire Connector to Speaker Assembly Internal Tubes Speaker Wires Binding Posts20 PCI 7DC IW and BACK CAN Quick Start Guide 21 Drywall Installation

1. The installation of drywall around the back can location is best done using

a single large sheet with the vertical center line centered over the back can vertical centerline (Fig. 6). Alternatively, the cover can be left on, and the drywall installed in four sections around the cover.

2. If you want to cut the drywall aperture before installation, use the back can

cover as a guide. Step 4 below describes cutting after the installation. Use the method you prefer.

3. Use adhesive on the wall studs and the front face of the back can, and install

the drywall using drywall screws approximately 8 to 10 inches apart. This will help prevent wall rattling and drywall movement and noises during operation. If the back can is being installed on an interior wall, then adhesive and extra screws may also be added to the drywall used in the room behind the back can. CAUTION: Make sure that no drywall screws go into the wooden case of the back can at any point. PCI 7DC IW Installation With the PCI 7DC IW back can wired and installed and the drywall cut as shown in the previous instructions, the PCI 7DC IW loudspeaker assembly can be fitted into the back can. Procedure

1. With the help of an assistant, lift the PCI 7DC IW loudspeaker assembly close to

the drywall aperture, and securely attach the four-pin wiring connector into the corresponding connector inside the back can (Fig. 1).

2. Install the loudspeaker assembly into the back can, by irst pressing in the four

screws as far as they will go, and then hand-tightening (Fig. 2). Make sure that you do not trap the speaker wiring, or your ingers during the installation. CAUTION: Do not over tighten the screws - this is unnecessary to achieve a strong acoustic seal to the back can or wall, and risks damage. Painting

1. A paint mask is supplied to protect the loudspeaker bale and drivers from paint,

dust, and debris. It allows you to paint and inish the wall after the installation of the loudspeaker assembly into the back can.

2. Press the paint mask into the front of the frame, where it will be kept in place

by magnets. This mask is left in place while the wall and frame surround are painted (Fig.3).

3. It is strongly recommended that the metal perforated grille is sprayed

separately, as this will avoid clogging of the holes. If painting with a brush is the only option, then several thin coats of paint will provide a superior inish to that achieved by one applied too thickly.

4. After the drywall installation, carefully cut out the hole in the drywall with

a suitable handtool, using the aperture in the back can as a guide (Fig. 7). Be careful not to cut inside the back can aperture, or cut the speaker wires. Make sure the drywall aperture is no larger than the aperture of the back can. Remove any dust or debris from within the back can.

5. The cover may be reinstalled until it is time for the loudspeaker installation.

1. Switch on the ampliier with the volume control at its lowest setting. Select

a suitable signal source and slowly turn up the volume to a low level. Check that the loudspeaker is working correctly and is in phase - if not, switch of the ampliier and recheck the connections.

2. The HF switch has three positions, with 0 dB being lat. Adjust as necessary to

suit the room position and acoustic conditions (Fig. 4).

3. Carefully check the area surrounding the installation and listen carefully

to ensure that there are no buzzes or rattles that could potentially impair enjoyment of the system. If there are, then locate and silence the causes using cable ties or suitable packing material. Grille Installation
