7. Speaker Wire

The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers. Generally, speaker wire is determined by the length of the run and wattage utilized. The longer your run is, the smaller the wire gauge must be.

In residential systems, for relatively short runs (less than 50 feet) to 8 ohm speakers, 16 gauge wire will be usually suitable.

Wire Length Wire Gauge System
0-50' (0-15m) 16	8 Ohm
50-100' (15-45m)	48 Ohm
Over 100' (30m) 12	8 Ohm

8. Wire Routing

Plan how you will route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.

Behind the Baseboard The wire can be routed behind the baseboard by cutting a groove out of the back of the baseboard, or by buying special baseboard designed for concealing wires.

Attic or Basement When available, you can route the wire through an attic or crawlspace.

Through Walls When running wires through a wall, be sure to avoid all obstacles such as AC wiring, pipes, and ducts.

Under the Carpet One option is to lift up the carpet and route "tape wire" under the carpet.

For New Construction if these speakers are being installed in a new home during construction, the installation process will be a bit different (although much simpler). For these situations, it is recommended you purchase a bracket. Instructions on how to install the speakers are provided with the bracket, or can be found on our website. Visit www.originacoustics.com for more information.

10. Speaker Placement

Speaker placement is determined by several factors like desired SPL, coverage requirements, variance in SPL by location, etc. When the objective is to fill a large area with very little variance (-/- 2dB), then a larger number of speakers is required. Typically, once the number of speakers has been determined, placing them equidistant from the listener and from each other will deliver the best result. However, due to other factors this may not be possible. The further the speaker is from the listener, the lower the SPL. As the speaker is placed closer to the wall, bass frequencies will be enhanced. This may or may not be the desired effect but certainly needs to be considered. The mounting system makes it easy to mount the speakers in a variety of positions and locations.

10a. Wall/Ceiling Mounting It is important that the bracket is securely mounted onto a structurally sound surface, capable of withstanding the weight of the product and any vibration created by the operation of the speaker. A screw size of 18 × 2" length or M4 x 50mm length is recommended. When mounting onto drywall or plasterboard, the bracket should be affixed to a joist or stud. When mounting onto brick or concrete, wall plugs or concrete anchors should be used. Can also be mounted directly onto a single or dual Gang Wall Junction Box.

10b. Pole Mounting To mount the speaker on a pole, U bolt and nuts should be used to clamp around the pole and bolt through the holes on the back of the bracket. Spring washers or blue threadlocker are recommended to ensure the nuts do not work loose through the vibration of the speaker.

11. Installation

The speakers should be placed facing the listeners; and the best performance is obtained by ensuring the left and right speakers are 6 - 10 feet apart, at ear level. If the speakers will be mounted above or below ear level, pivot them upwards or downwards to direct the sound towards the listeners.

1. Run the speaker wires from the amplifier to the speaker location. Be sure to leave enough wire at the speaker location to feed through the hole in the speaker enclosure and wire to the terminal connector on the front.

1. Attach the mount bracket to the mounting surface using the 4 supplied screws, using studs or anchors, that are appropriate for the type of surface. Use the supplied T20 Torx TR Wrench tool to screw in these screws.

1. If the installation requires that the speakers be mounted on poles, you can attach the bracket to poles using U-bolt (not included).

1. Pull the speaker wire through the indicated wire feed hole on wall mount bracket. Then feed the wire from this mount bracket into the wire entry hole on the back of the speaker, and out through the front panel opening on the speaker. Make sure there is enough slack in the wire that will allow the speaker to pivot vertically or rotate horizontally on the C bracket.

1. Attach the C-Bracket to the wall mount, after locating correct vertical angle. Screw down using the Security Torx 120 Wrench for the included screws and attach securely to wall mount.

1. Attach the speaker to the C-Bracket, using the screw down caps and adjust correct horizontal angle.

D. At each end of the C Bracket, there is a Torx Security Screw, found inside the center of each cap end. Use a T25 Wrench tool (not supplied) to screw down the cap ends, via this screw.

11

1. Make sure the wire is correctly routed: [eg: the left speaker output will be routed to the left speaker, right output to right speaker, etc], from the amplifier to the speaker. Then, to connect the amplifier wire to the phoenix connector on the front speaker baffle; follow the following steps:

A. Take the wire from the wire feed hole on the speaker front panel. Strip approximately 1/2 s" (5mm) of the insulation off each wire, and to avoid stray strands, twist them at the end.

B. Insert the wire into the correct square opening on the Phoenix Connector. Use a small flat head screwdriver to tighten the corresponding screw to secure the wire.

12

C. After securing the wire into the the Phoenix Connector, you can then fit the wiring terminal cover in the speaker front panel.

D. Lastly, after closing the Phoenix Connector Access "door," you can add the grille adhesives around the grille gap, fit the grille onto the speaker, and secure the grille into place using the allen key.

13

12. Pivoting The Speaker

The speaker features a Weather Resistant Bracket with vertical angle adjustments.

You can rotate the speaker between the two screw-cap ends of the C-Bracket, to reach the desired horizontal angle (See A). You can also adjust the vertical position when you connect the vertical C-Bracket to the wall mount (See B).

This allows the sound to be aimed towards the listeners as required.

13. Certification Compliance

15B. IEC 60529: IPX66 Rated

This standard applies to the classification of degrees of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment with a rated voltage not exceeding 72.5 kV.

Object: The object of this standard is to give:

a) Definitions for degrees of protection provided by enclosures of electrical equipment as regards:
1) protection of persons against access to hazardous parts inside the enclosure;
2) protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects;
3) protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against harmful effects due to the ingress of water.

b) Designations for these degrees of protection.

c) Requirements for each designation.

d) Tests to be performed to verify that the enclosure meets the requirements of this standard.

It will remain the responsibility of individual technical committees to decide on the extent and manner in which, the classification is used in their standards and to define "enclosure" as it applies to their equipment. However, it is recommended that for a given classification the tests do not differ from those specified in this standard. If necessary, complementary requirements may be included in the relevant product standard. A guide for the details to be specified in relevant product standards is given in annex B.

For a particular type of equipment, a technical committee may specify different requirements provided that at least the same level of safety is ensured.

This standard deals only with enclosures that are in all other respects suitable for their intended use as specified in the relevant product standard and which from the point of view of materials and workmanship ensure that the claimed degrees of protection are maintained under the normal conditions of use.

This standard is also applicable to empty enclosures provided that the general test requirements are met and that the selected degree of protection is suitable for the type of equipment to be protected.

Measures to protect both the enclosure and the equipment inside the enclosure against external influences or conditions such as,

• mechanical impacts
• corrosion
• corrosive solvents (for example, cutting liquids)
• fungus
• vermin
• solar radiation
• icing
• moisture (for example, produced by condensation)
• explosive atmospheres,

and the protection against contact with hazardous moving parts external to the enclosure (such as fans), are matters for the relevant product standard to be protected.

Barriers external to the enclosure and not attached to it and obstacles which have been provided solely for the safety of personnel are not considered as a part of the enclosure and are not dealt with in this standard.

14. Troubleshooting

If you have a problem, try isolating it first. For example, if you're playing a DVD and there is no sound, try replacing the DVD with another audio source to see if you get sound. If it does work, then the problem is with the television, DVD player, or the cables connecting them. If it doesn't work, the problem will be with the amplifier, speakers, or those cables.

Problem Possible Cause

No Sound The volume may be turned down or muted. Check the volume settings on both the amplifier and the television/computer/CD player/etc.
No Sound Make sure the proper source is selected on the amplifier or receiver.
No Sound Check the cord connecting the amplifier with the source. The cord may be damaged or plugged into the wrong input or output.
No Sound Check the wires connecting the amplifier with the speakers. Make sure they're connected properly and not damaged in any way.
Poor Sound Quality	If you hear something like static, or the sound is cutting in and out, check the audio cables. If the problem increases when a cable is being moved, then the cable is most likely faulty or not connected properly.
Poor Sound Quality	Today's audio systems may have several places to adjust the volume, for example your MP3 player may have a volume control, and your amplifier may also have one. Check to be certain that the volume isn't turned up past 80% on any device.
Poor Sound Quality	Try changing sources to be certain that the selection you've chosen is a good quality recording.
