Step 7. Speaker performance can be
enhanced by insulating the wall or
ceiling cavity with fiberglass insula-
tion. When insulating speakers, it is
best to use a sheet of unfaced fiber-
glass insulation behind and around
the sides of the speaker.
Step 8. Connect the positive (“+”) wires from
b oth amplifier channels to the
speaker’s red terminals. Connect
the negative (“–”) wires from both
amplifier channels to the speaker’s
black terminals.
• The speaker’s connector posts are
spring-loaded. Push the top of
each connector post down to open the connector and insert
the exposed wires into the holes in the posts.
I M PORTANT: Be sure not to let any stray ‘+’ and ‘–’
wires touch each other. Touching wires can cause a
short-circuit that could damage your amplifier.
• Double-check that you connected amplifier “+” to speaker
“+” and amplifier “–” to speaker “–”.
Step 9. Make sure all the RotoLock clamps are in the full clockwise
position so that they are tucked within the mounting hole’s
border. Insert the speaker into the mounting hole.
Step 10. Tighten the four screws on the front of
the speaker baffle evenly until the
speaker is seated snugly and evenly
against the wall or ceiling.
I M PORTANT: If you are using a
drill or electric screwdriver to
tighten the screws be sure use the
lowest torque setting.
Step 11. Install the grilles by placing them
into the speaker baffles. Powerful
magnets on the grilles and on the
speaker baffles will hold the grilles
firmly on the speakers.
PAINTING THE
GRILLES
Moderno grilles may be painted to color-
match their surroundings.
1. Remove the grilles from the speakers.
2. Remove the scrim cloth that is attached
to the backs of the grilles. (The adhesive that holds the cloth in
place is reusable.)
3. Paint the grilles with very thin paint (5 parts thinner to 1 part
paint), being careful not to plug the holes.
4. When the paint has fully dried, re-attach the scrim cloths to the
backs of the grilles.
5. Re-install the grilles on the speakers.
ADJUSTMENTS
Tweeter Level Control
The Moderno M6R SST speaker
has a tweeter level control
switch that lets you boost or cut
the tweeter level by 3dB. This
allows you to adjust the
speaker’s brightness to better
match your listening room or
personal taste.
Once you have installed the
speakers, listen to a variety of
music that you are familiar with.
If the music all tends to sound
too bright or dull, use the
Tweeter Level Control to
compensate. If some recordings sound dull and some sound bright
the speaker is accurately reproducing differences in the recordings,
and you should leave the control in the middle (0dB) position.
