Pivoting Tweeters 
Install the Speakers 
The pivoting tweeter directs sound toward or away 
from the listening area to achieve a desired effect. To 
direct sound toward a listening area, the pivoting 
tweeter may be angled by applying pressure on the 
tweeter frame, which surrounds the dome tweeter. If 
there is any question about how the tweeter should be 
adjusted, consult your Authorized Knoll Dealer. Here 
are some additional suggestions: 
Remove the grill by pushing 
each of the integral mounting 
system clamps toward the 
front of the speaker. They 
should lie in the full clockwise 
position so that all clamps are 
tucked within the cutout 
border. Observing the proper 
polarity with your amplifier, (+) 
to (+) and (-) to (-) attach the 
speaker wires. Make sure the 
left channel of the ampli
connected to the left speaker,
and the right channel is 
connected to the right 
speaker. Make sure the bared 
wires are making good 
contract with the gold speaker 
connectors.  
• Orient the tweeter toward the listening area if the 
speakers are widely separated and the music fails to 
blend into a central image when the system is operated 
in stereo.

• Orient the tweeter toward the listening area when 
additional brightness is desired. 
• Orient the tweeter away from the listening area if 
the music or video soundstage seems too narrow or 
restricted. 
• Orient the tweeter away from the listening area if it 
sounds too bright. 
 
 
Adjust Tweeter Level Controls  
Install the speaker by bringing 
the outer edge flush with the 
wall. You will notice the four 
Philips screw heads in four 
corners on the front baffle of 
the Knoll speaker (with the 
grill off). Use a screwdriver to 
tighten these screws evenly. 
This will automatically rotate 
your integral mounting system 
clamps over the drywall 
surface and securely clamp t
speaker flange to the wall. 
When the tightening 
resistance of all four screws is 
firm the speaker has been 
successfully sandwiched 
between the drywall and the 
speaker flange. The flange is 
designed to flex and conform 
to any small imperfections in 
the wall surface. 
Before the speaker is installed, adjustments are 
available by adjusting the switch(es) located on the 
crossover assembly on the back of the speaker. 
Independent settings make it possible to fine-tune the 
sound to the room’s particular nuances, the system’s 
demands, or your own listening tastes. The switches 
allow three levels of tweeter output attenuation 0dB,  
-3dB or –6dB. We believe you will find the 0dB setting 
works well in a majority of listening situations with no 
additional adjustments being necessary. 
 
Accessories 
Optional Accessories for your Knoll speakers: 
 
VE650TR  Pre-construction plastic bracket for new 
construction, can be stapled or screwed to studs. For 
SD652 and SE650 6.5” in-ceiling speakers, one pair. 
 
VE800TR  Pre-construction plastic bracket for new 
construction, can be stapled or screwed to studs. For 
SE800 8” in-ceiling speakers only, one pair. 
The screws should not be 
tightened so far that the 
flange bows out. If this 
occurs, reduce the tension on 
the screws a little. 
 
 
 
 
Finally, if painting is not 
required, reinsert the grill in
the speaker baffle.
