3 Getting Started Installation Installation In-wall installation should be located directly above the listening area. In rooms larger than the bathroom or closet, it is recommended to install additional speakers for improved performance. You may install a bracket where you will be placing the speaker prior to installing drywall. Once insulation and drywall is installed, you may cut the speaker hole. 1. Choose a location in your home to setup your new VM Audio in-wall speaker. Use a stud-finder to locate the nearest wood or metal stud and keep in mind the baffle flange will protrude outside of the mounting hole. Painting The In-Wall Speaker It is recommended to paint your speaker before installing into your wall, or reverse the steps of installation to remove the speaker for easy painting. For painting the installed speaker, please use the paint mask in place of the grille. If painting the grille, do not paint while attached to the speaker, and be careful to not clog the holes, which will decrease sound quality. VM Audio recommends only light spray painting. 2. Using the included template, position and outline the hole on the wall. Power Requirements For non-distorted high output performance, use an amplifier with the same power rating as the loudspeaker. Speaker Wires When running long lengths of speaker wires, it is recommended that higher gauge wire (14 Ga or higher) is always used throughout the wiring. 3. Cut the drawn hole using a drywall saw. 4 5

4 Installation Installation 4. Prepare the cables and run them to the speaker and amplifier locations. 7. Place the speaker into the mounting hole on the wall and with one hand hold the speaker in place. 5. Remove the speaker grille from the speaker baffle. 8. While holding the speaker in place with one hand, place the Phillips screwdriver into the screw head and rotate clockwise to tighten all four locking arms on to the wall. 6. Push each speaker terminal to insert and connect the positive and negative speaker wires. 9. Cover the speaker by attaching the grille back into the speaker baffle. 6 7

5 Table Troubleshooting of Contents Table Specifications of Contents No Sound Check the speaker wires and ensure they have a solid connection to all the speaker terminals on each speaker and on the amplifier or receiver. Check that the receiver or amplifier is powered on at the mains, is not on mute, has no headphones attached and that the channels used for the speakers (usually A or B) is in operation. Refer to the owner s guide that came with your receiver or amplifier for troubleshooting guidelines for the unit. Most initial problems are connectivity, please try a different connection cable to your in-wall speaker or equipment. No Sound from One Speaker Check the balance control on your receiver amplifier. Check all connections and cable to the inoperable speaker. Disconnect the working speaker from the receiver amplifier connection/channel. Switch the cord from the non-operating speaker from its current connection to the working speaker connection. If the speaker now works, the problem is your receiver amplifier. Reconnect as original. Remove the speaker cable at the working speaker directly and connect it directly to the non-working speaker. If the speaker now works, the problem is somewhere in the original speaker cable. If the speaker still does not work the problem is the speaker.
