2. Mark their edges, using masking tape.
3. Repeat this process for the other speaker.
4. You may have to adjust the speaker
mounting locations based on how
symmetrical the studs are located, in the
wall space.
PREPARING FOR
INSTALLATION
If you are installing the LSW-6/LSW-6.5 into
an existing wall, take time to consider any
possible obstructions, which may be hidden
inside the wall: studs, electrical wiring,
telephone wiring, plumbing, AC or heating
conduit and ductwork.
5. Check for clearance using the following
method.
a. Drill a 1/4” pilot hole in the center of the
intended speaker location.
b. Cut a foot-long piece of coat hanger.
Determine the best mounting locations
based on the room layout. Before cutting
any holes, make sure the area behind both
speakers is clear for installation. Speakers
provide the best coverage, when centered
in the wall. Choose a suitable mounting
height, and then line up both speakers
approximately the same distance from the
sidewall and ceiling boundaries.
c. Bend the wire, creating a right angle,
leaving 4-1/4” at one end.
d. Poke the “L-shaped” wire into the pilot
hole and turn it in a complete circle,
checking for obstructions.
e. Push it into the wall cavity to make
sure you have approximately 4” of
depth.
f. If the coat hanger movement is
obstructed by anything, fill the hole(s)
with spackle and try another location.
Label the speaker wires at the amplifier
location.
TOOLS REQUIRED
6. Locate the cutout template.
7. Use a pencil and the cutout template to
trace the speaker outline in the desired
locations on the wall.
I Stud Locator (for existing construction)
I Drywall saw (for existing construction)
I Pencil (for existing construction)
I Cordless screwdriver with No2 Philips bit
I 1/8” Slotted screwdriver x 2
I Wire stripper
8. Use a drywall saw to cut along the
penciled line.
9. Slip the mounting bracket through the
opening and pull it toward you so that its
front edge slides into the hole and stops
in place.

10. Attach the frame to the bracket by
screwing the frame to the bracket using
the supplied screws. NOTE: Do not over
tighten the screws, this will distort the
frame and the grille will not fit.
Installation New Construction:
The speaker brackets should be installed
prior to the drywall.
1. Attach the wings to the bracket by
snapping them into the sides of the
bracket. (See Figure 1). To shorten the
wings, break them along the scored lines.
11. The screws should pull the frame and
bracket together (sandwiching the
drywall) so that the frame is flush with
the wall surface.
2. The wings and brackets have centering
lines to simplify placement of the speaker.
12. Strip 1/4” of insulation from the end of
each wire.
3. Use a tape measure to locate and center
the brackets in the wall.
13. Tightly twist the end of each wire until
no frayed ends remain.
4. Mark each speaker location with a
pencil.
14. Attach the speaker wires to the speaker
terminal connectors. Connect the
negative output from the amplifier to the
black terminal. Connect the positive
output from the amplifier to the red
terminal.

joist.
15. Insert the speaker into the frame and
snap it into place. See figure 2.
16. Optional: If you are located in an
earthquake zone or want the added
security of screwing the speaker baffle
to the frame, follow the Important Safety
Instructions on page 5.
5. Screw one side of the assembled bracket
with wings to the joist using one of the
supplied screws.
17. Repeat steps 1-16 for each speaker
being installed.
18. After making tonal adjustments on all
speakers (LSW-6.5 only), install the grille
into the speaker.
6. Screw the other side of the bracket/wing
assembly to the joist. Two screws on
each side make for a very secure
installation.
7. Secure the wire to the bracket using the
bracket’s wire tie.
Figure 2

8. In unique situations where the bracket
must be located precisely next to a joist,
the bracket has “emergency” screw
holes located on its snap-on tabs. Break
away two of the outer mounting tabs on
the side you wish to affix, see Figure 3.
Notching the joist so the bracket lies flush
may be required.
13. Strip 1/4” of insulation from the end of
each wire.
14. Tightly twist the end of each wire until
no frayed ends remain.
15. Attach the speaker wires to the speaker
terminal connectors. Connect the
negative output from the amplifier to the
black terminal. Connect the positive
output from the amplifier to the red
terminal.
9. Next, screw the bracket tab to the joist
using one of the supplied screws. NOTE:
Do not over-tighten the screw, doing so
could crack the bracket tab. Level the
bracket, then affix the other side of the
bracket assembly using the supplied
screws.
16. Insert the speaker into the frame and
snap it into place. See figure 2.
17. Optional: If you are installing the speaker
in a ceiling or are located in an
earthquake zone or want the added
security of screwing the speaker baffle
to the frame, follow the Important Safety
Instructions on page 5.
10. After the drywall is installed, cut a hole
in the drywall using the outside of the
circular bracket flange as a template.
11. Attach the frame to the bracket by
screwing the frame to the bracket using
the supplied screws. NOTE: Do not over
tighten the screws, this will distort the
frame and the grille will not fit.
18. Repeat steps 1-17 for each speaker
being installed.
19. After making tonal adjustments on all
the speakers (LSW-6.5 only), install the
grilles into the speakers.
12. The screws should pull the frame and
bracket together (sandwiching the
drywall) so that the frame is flush with
the wall surface.

Mounting Screws
1. Locate the dimples on the front baffle.
2. Insert the screws through the dimples until they are securely in place.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing LSW-6, LSW-6.5 speakers in a ceiling or if the installation is located in an earthquake
zone, it is recommended that you utilize the enclosed self-tapping screws to secure the baffle to the
frame See Figure 4.
DIRECTINGTHETWEETER
The tweeter is directed by gently pushing on the edge of the tweeter grille. It will move 20° in any
direction. For critical listening point the tweeter to the user’s favorite listening position, minimizing
reflections from the side walls. For surround sound or low volume background listening create
more reflections and thus more ambience by directing the tweeter towards the side walls. See
figures 5 and 6.

SETTINGTHE BASS AND
TREBLE CUT SWITCHES
LSW-6.5 Loudspeakers ONLY
LSW-6.5 loudspeakers feature separate
baffle-mounted bass and treble controls for
fine-tuning after installation. Each control
provides for approximately 3dB of Bass or
Treble reduction. See figure 7.
Listen to a well-recorded piece of music at
the user’s favorite listening position. First,
listen for bass boominess, particularly when
the speaker is placed near a corner. Put the
Bass switch in the Cut position to correct
this. Secondly, listen for treble harshness
or ringing, particularly when the speakers
are placed in a room without carpet. Put
the Treble switch in the Cut position to
correct this.
Figure 8
Removing the
Speaker
Utilizing two small screwdrivers or two
needle nose pliers, release the snaps that
hold the speaker to the frame. Insert the
screwdrivers into the holes in the snaps
and exert force straight down (towards the
woofer), until the snaps release. Once the
snaps release, the speaker can be tilted
away from the frame to be removed. Do not
attempt to use the frame for leverage, as
this may damage the surface of the frame
See Figure 9.
PAINTINGTHE GRILLE
AND FRAME
Painting the Speaker Frame
The speakers must be removed prior to
painting the frames.
Painting the Grilles:
The grilles should be painted before they
are installed on the speakers. The best
results will be obtained by using a spray
gun or airless sprayer. Thin the paint, and
then apply several light coats. This
Figure 7
REMOVAL OF GRILLE
AND SPEAKER
technique helps prevent clogging of grille
holes. Paint both sides of the grille.
Removing the Grille
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 8.

OPERATION
Power handing:
10 – 125 watts
Listening at Higher Volumes:
It requires more power to achieve a
reasonable volume of sound in a large room
than it does in a small room. It is possible
to turn the volume so high that the amplifier
runs out of power. This creates “clipping”
distortion.
Frequency response:
50Hz -21kHz +/- 3dB
Impedance:
6 ohms
Dimensions:
8-3/4” x 11-11/16” outside dimension
Clipping distortion makes treble sound very
harsh and unmusical. When you hear harsh
sounding treble from any good speaker,
turn the volume down immediately! You
are much less likely to damage a speaker
with a large amplifier because it will be
less likely to produce any clipping distortion.
