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.

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.
