Niles Audio HD5 - Manual (Page 18)

Installing the Speaker
If the grille is already
installed, remove it by using
a bent paper clip or the tip
of a corkscrew and pulling
it away from the frame
(See Figure 13)
.
1. Separate the speaker wire so
that at least two inches of each
conductor are free.
2. Strip 1/2" of insulation from the end of
each conductor. (See Figure 1.)
3. To connect the stripped end of one con-
ductor to the black terminal, push down
on the black terminal lever. Insert
the stripped end of the conductor into
the opening. Release the pressure on
the lever.
4. Repeat #3 with the other conductor and
the red terminal.
5. Connect the opposite ends of these con-
ductors to their respective amplifier ter-
minals. Pay attention to the markings on
the wire. If you are unsure which con-
ductor to insert into which terminal, see
the section titled “Speaker Phase” in the
owner’s manual.
6. Repeat these instructions for each speak-
er you are connecting to the amplifier.
7. Place the speaker baffle in the frame
by inserting the tabs at the base of
the speaker baffle into the corre
sponding holes in the frame and
pushing the speaker for-
ward until the s n a p s
engage (See Figure 16).
8. IMPORTANT:
When installing the
speakers in the ceiling, or
if the installation is in an
earthquake zone, it is recom-
mended that you utilize the
enclosed sheet metal screws to secure
the baffle to the frame.
a. Locate the dimples on the front baffle.
b. Place the self-tapping sheet metal
screw in the dimple and turn it with a
screw driver until it cuts through the
baffle and anchors securely in the
frame (See Figure 17).
