Tighten all six 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
Two paint shields are included in each AS8s speaker
package. Place the paint shield inside the frame to
protect the speakers. You can now safely paint the
speakers 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.
Aiming the Tweeter
Use you fingertips, placed carefully at the plastic edges
of the tweeter housing.
Using gentle pressure swivel the tweeter to aim the axis
of the tweeter toward the listening area. You can use a
piece of music with a solid center imaged vocalist to
assist in correctly aiming the tweeter. When the
tweeters are properly aligned for the listening area you
will hear a coherent and stable center image from your
listening position. Usually, it is sufficient to aim the
tweeter only as it handles the frequencies that control
the direction of individual sounds in your audio program
material.
Removing the AS8s Speaker
Should it ever become necessary to remove the AS8s
speaker from the wall, simply remove the grill and turn
the six mounting screws counter-clockwise until 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 recom-
mended speaker wire gauges that should not exceed
0.5 ohms resistance over the recommended length of
wire run.
For the AS8s speakers we suggest the following
minimum speaker wire gauge be used:
50’ or less - 16 Gauge 2-Cond. CL3
50’ - 150’
- 12 Gauge 2-Cond. CL3
150’ - 200’ - 10 Gauge 2-Cond. CL3
