ERS 610

New Construction

If you wish to preinstall a rough-in frame before the drywall 
is installed, you will need to purchase the IW10R RIF rough-in
frame. Detailed installation instructions are supplied with the
rough-in kit.

RILLE

The ERS 610 in-ceiling loudspeaker can be painted to match 
any décor. If you wish to change the color, the satin finish on the
grille and frame will function as a primer coat. Before painting,
install the paint shield (inner section of template in the assembly
kit) securely into the recess in the baffle.This will protect the
speaker components and baffle from paint residue. Use a high-
quality spray paint, and apply a thin coat of color.

Be certain the

grille perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with paint
will diminish the sound quality.

NOTE:

Gently remove the acoustical foam blanket from the grille

before painting. Reattach the blanket after the paint has dried.

O

PERATION

Surround Settings

When using the system in a Dolby

®

Digital or DTS

®

home theater

system, make sure all speakers are set to “Small.”

Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer different
setup options for each source or surround mode: e.g., CD-stereo,
videotape, Dolby or Pro Logic

®

. In each case, follow your equip-

ment’s instructions to ensure that the subwoofer (if you have one)
output is turned on and that the speakers are set to “Small” in
each mode.

Tweeter-Level Control

In most typical listening rooms, this switch should be left in the
neutral or “0” position. This setting will deliver the most neutral
and balanced sound. In some extreme cases, it may be desirable
to slightly boost or cut the tweeter’s output, depending upon the
room layout, construction and furnishings.

If the room is sparsely furnished, contains large exposed windows
or is otherwise very reverberant, you may want to set the control
to the “–” (–1.5dB) position. If the room is exceptionally absorbent
because it is well furnished or has thick curtains and/or carpet,
you may want to increase the tweeter output by setting this switch
to the “+” position (+1.5dB). Of course, the control may be set to
either position, based on listener preference.

Boundary Compensation Control

This control is designed to be engaged when positioning the
loudspeaker within two feet of another surface to eliminate the
bass peak caused by the second surface and to maintain a
smooth, natural bass response. For example, if you need to install
your in-ceiling speaker within two feet of a side wall or corner, it
is recommended that the Boundary Compensation control be set
to the “On” position. In all other installations, the control should
typically be set to “Off”. Of course, the control may be set to
either position, based on listener preference.
