Tighten all four of the mounting screws in the same
manner until the speaker is properly aligned and held
tight to the wall surface.
Caution: Do not over tighten!
Painting the Speaker
A paint shields is included in each AC6CD speaker
package. Place the paint shield inside the frame to
protect the speaker. You can now safely paint the
speaker’s frame to match your wall surface if you desire.
When painting the grill caution should be taken to
ensure that paint does not clog or congest the perforated
openings in the grill. This would prevent proper operation
of the grill by restricting the airflow from the individual
drivers in the speaker.
AC6CD Operation
The AC6CD speaker is designed for use where the user
desires to have sound available in an area but does not
need stereo imaging. This may be because of limited
space, such as a bathroom or dressing area, or a long
hallway where even distribution of sound is desired but
stereo imaging is impractical.
The AC6CD uses a dual voice coil woofer and dual tweet-
ers. The speaker has separate terminals to allow each
channel of a stereo amplifier to be connected to the one
speaker.
The AC6CD can also be operated by a single channel from
an amplifier and used just like any conventional in-ceiling
or in-wall speaker. In this configuration you should wire
the speaker terminals in parallel (fig. 4).
Removing the AC6CD Speaker
Should it ever become necessary to remove the AC6CD
speaker from the ceiling, simply remove the grill and turn
the four mounting screws counter-clockwise until you
feel the doglegs lock out of position in their resting
flange. The speaker should easily come out of the wall
for service or replacement.
Recommended Speaker Wire Gauges
The resistance of the speaker wire in your installation
can cause your speakers to perform at less than their
optimum quality level. Excess resistance caused by
using an undersized speaker wire can result in loss of
detail and definition in the bass region of your audio
program, as well as, a loss of dynamic range. Over
extremely long wire runs you may even experience a
loss of high frequency amplitude in the audio signal.
To prevent this effect in your installation we have
recommended speaker wire gauges that should not
exceed 0.5 ohms resistance over the recommended
length of wire run.
For the AC6CD speakers we suggest the following
minimum speaker wire gauge be used:
50’ or less - 16 Gauge 4-Cond. CL3
50’ - 150’ - 12 Gauge 4-Cond. CL3
150’ - 200’ - 10 Gauge 4-Cond. CL3
