SpeakerCraft crs6 one User Guide

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Before installing your speakers, you should consider the placement
carefully, taking into account the location of electrical, plumbing
and other fixtures. Contact your dealer for assistance if you are not
sure of the best location in your particular room environment.

Placement In Ceiling: When placing your speakers in the ceiling,
they should ideally be located above the primary listening area.
The unique tweeter baffle of the CRS6 Series speakers allows for
more forward radiation and a more even frequency response than
is obtainable on conventional coaxial type round speakers.
(See Diagram 1) If the speakers are positioned far away from the
primary listening area, adjust the pivoting tweeter so they are pointed at the primary listening area.

Note: To avoid

possible damage to the pivoting tweeters, read the section entitled “SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS” in this manual prior to
performing the tweeter adjustment.

In a very large room with low ceilings, it may be necessary to place additional speakers throughout the room.
Contact your Authorized SpeakerCraft dealer for assistance.

MOUNTING SURFACE PREPARATION

New Construction - Unfinished Ceilings
A New Construction Bracket, SpeakerCraft P/N BKT90611 (available from your dealer), may be installed prior to drywall
application across joists (up to 24" on-center) where a speaker will be located. Insulation material should be in place prior
to installing drywall. After the hole is cut and the drywall is installed, the speakers are then easily installed following the
instructions for mounting in “Finished Ceilings”. Note: If the speakers are to be mounted more than 24" on-center, a
special “Extra Long Wing”, SpeakerCraft P/N WING90222, is available from your dealer.

Finished Ceilings
Prior to the actual installation of the speakers, it will be necessary to run cables to the speaker locations. See your dealer
for more information about cable installation. After the cable has been properly installed, you are ready to mount the
speakers. Following the simple steps listed below will result in a professional looking installation:

1. Determine the best area to mount your speakers. This area of the ceiling should be free of obstructions such as electri-

cal conduit, HVAC ducts, or water lines. This can best be determined by noting the placement of fixtures and gaining
access to an attic or crawl space for further analysis of the location of such obstacles.

2. Find the joists nearest the desired speaker mounting location. We highly recommend using a good stud-finder tool

for this procedure. If you are lining up the speakers to some other object or molding in the room, make sure you
consider the size of the baffle flange which extends beyond the mounting hole.

3. Mark the hole. A template for setting the hole is provided in the box (along with two paint mask inserts for use when

painting). Position the template in the desired position and pencil an outline on the ceiling.
