IPRD SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL
OMAGE suggests always painting the grills separate from the speaker. The grilles may be lightly sprayed with thin paint
(5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint), but be careful not to plug the holes. Too much paint will adversely affect the sound
of the speaker.
Once the grilles and baffle are painted and dry, remove the paint mask from the baffle and install the grilles. OMAGE
in-wall frames and grilles are designed to accept most types of paint. Care should be taken to avoid excessive paint build-
up in the grille perforations.
3. Once the hole is cut, clean all edges and debris from the area. Attach the wire from your amplifier to the terminals on
the back of the speaker. Double check the polarity of the speaker wires, amplifier + to speaker + and amplifier - to speaker
- proper polarity is critical In home theater installation.
4. Insert the frame into the wall opening and attach to the mounting surface by tightening the screws to engage the
swinging “dog” connectors. The frame’s mounting dogs will “sandwich” the wall and frame together.
5. Install the module and press the grille in place. Start the insertion of the grill on one edge and slowly work your fingers
around the grille edges. Make sure all edges are in the groove before you apply pressure. Do not push hard. If the grille is
not going in, this means not all edges are in the groove. Ease off grille and start over.
Pre-Construction Brackets
Pre-construction brackets are available with all OMAGE IPRD Series custom installed speakers. These brackets are
measured to fit standard 16’’/24’’ wood stud intervals.
1. Nail or Staple the pre-construction brackets to the stud in the planned speaker position. With the flange of the speaker
cut out facing out.
2. As the drywall installer is working, they can accurately cut-out the necessary hole for your speaker reducing installation
time and debris when the speakers are being installed.
OMAGE In-ceiling speakers feature swiveling tweeters to aim sound directly at the listening
area, simply removed the grille and gently adjust the tweeter to the desired position.
