Pivoting Tweeters Install the Speakers The pivoting tweeter directs sound toward or away from the listening area to achieve a desired effect. To direct sound toward a listening area, the pivoting tweeter may be angled by applying pressure on the tweeter frame, which surroun ds the dome tweeter. If there is any question about how the tweeter should be adjusted, consult your Authorized Knoll Dealer. Here are some additional suggestions: Remove the grill by pushing each of the integral mounting system clamps toward the front of the speaker. They should lie in the full clockwise position so that all clamps are tucked within the cutout border. Observing the proper polarity with your amplifier, (+) to (+) and (-) to (-) attach the speaker wires. Make sure the left channel of the ampli connected to the left speaker, and the right channel is connected to the right speaker. Make sure the bared wires are making good contract with the gold speaker connectors. - Orient the tweeter toward the listening area if the speakers are widely separated and the music fails to blend into a central image wh en the system is operated in stereo. fier is he to - Orient the tweeter toward the listening area when additional brightness is desired. - Orient the tweeter away from the listening area if the music or video soundstage seems too narrow or restricted. - Orient the tweeter away from the listening area if it sounds too bright. Adjust T weeter Level C ontrols Install the speaker by bringing the outer edge flush with the wall. You will notice the four Philips screw heads in four corners on the front baffle of the Knoll speaker (with the grill off). Use a screwdriver to tighten these screws evenly. This will automatically rotate your integral mounting system clamps over the drywall surface and securely clamp t speaker flange to the wall. When the tightening resistance of all four screws is firm the speaker has been successfully sandwiched between the drywall and the speaker flange. The flange is designed to flex and conform to any small imperfections in the wall surface. Before the speaker is installed, adjustments are available by adjusting the switch(es) located on the crossover assembly on the back of the speaker. Independent settings make it possible to fine- tune the sound to the rooms particula r nuances, the systems demands, or your own list ening tastes. The switches allow three levels of tweeter output attenuation 0dB, -3dB or –6dB. We believe you will find the 0dB setting works well in a maj ority of listening situations with no additional adjustments being necessary. Accessories Optional Accessories for your Knoll speakers: VE650TR Pre- construction plastic bracket for new construction, can be stapled or screwed to studs. For SD652 and SE650 6. 5 in- ceiling speakers, one pair. VE800TR Pre- construction plastic bracket for new construction, can be stapled or screwed to studs. For SE800 8 in- ceiling speakers only, one pair. The screws should not be tightened so far that the flange bows out. If this occurs, reduce the tension on the screws a little. Finally, if painting is not required, reinsert the grill in the speaker baffle.
