INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ceiling and In-Wall Speaker Systems
INTRODUCTION
The XTC and XTC Reference series loudspeakers are the result of Xantech’s commitment to build
the best speakers possible. In their quest for perfection, Xantech engineers examined every aspect of
their performance and design, from electronic components to structural material, even how they
interact with the home environment. The Result: Flawless performance that you never thought
possible from an installe

APPLICATION – SINGLE ZONE A single zone setup can be created using an audio receiver, general purpose amplifier, or a multi- room amplifier. The figure below shows a typical stereo left and right speaker setup. APPLICATION – SMALL AREA (BATHROOM, LAUNDRY ROOM) Small areas such as bathrooms and laundry rooms may not have enough room for a pair of left and right speakers. The XA65CS and XB65CS are perfect for this type of situation. The “CS” ceiling stereo speakers are designed with st

ADVANCED APPLICATION – LARGE AREA, MULTIPLE SPEAKER SYSTEMS Large areas such as gathering rooms or banquet halls may require more than a single pair of speakers. Multiple speakers can be connected to the same amplifier channel. This application requires careful understanding of the amplifiers capabilities. 1) Determine what the minimum speaker impedance the amplifier can handle. This should be noted on the amplifier or the amplifier’s instruction manual. Typically, most amplifiers can

REQUIREMENTS – SPEAKER PLACEMENT The best sound can be achieved by making sure the speakers are placed is the best position possible. The surface material should be similar for right and left pairs. Also, the cavity volume behind each speaker should be identical. Placing a speaker near a corner tends to emphasize bass. Large surface areas emphasize treble. Drapes and upholstered furniture may muffle sound. Be sure that both right and left pairs are equal distance from the corners

CAUTION: In-Ceiling Installation Be sure that the ceiling material has a good integrity and is of a material and thickness to support the weight and vibrations of the speaker installation. NEW CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION The preferred method for new construction installation is using Xantech’s new-construction brackets. The brackets provide an installation process that protects the high-value speaker system. The bracket material is heavy-duty ABS plastic. Wings can be assemble

3) The baffle part of the speaker system can now be installed into the speaker bezel. Place the baffle into the bezel frame. Use the dog-ears on the speaker bezel to secure the system into place. 4) Installation complete! The benefit of using the new construction speaker brackets is that you can maintain possession of the high-value portion of the speaker system instead of passing it through several different contractors. 08905092C - 6 -

EXISTING CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION 1) Determine the location for the installed speaker. Use a stud-finder to locate the studs behind the wall. It is a good idea to use a voltage detector to determine if any live wiring is in the area. Typically an electrical or switch outlet will identify the location of a stud. The adjacent stud may be 12, 16 or 24 inches apart. 2) Using the included mounting template, draw an outline of the area that will be removed. The outline should at least

5) Connect the speaker wires to the speaker and place the speaker inside the wall cavity. 6) Carefully tighten the clamping screws. Be sure to alternate diagonally between each screw position. For wall speakers, carefully adjust the frame level after each screw is installed. CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREWS! This may cause damage to the wall and speaker system. 7) INSTALLATION COMPLETE! 08905092C - 8 -

FINISHING TOUCH – PIVOTABLE TWEETER All speaker models, except the stereo ceiling models, have pivot-able tweeters. As mentioned in the speaker placement section, the tweeter should be level to the listener’s ear. Adequate Tweeter Direction Optimum Tweeter Direction Gently push the edge of the tweeter frame to adjust the angle. Be careful not to touch the dome portion of the tweeter. The tweeter must be treated with care to maintain it’s high performance characteristics.

TROUBLESHOOTING 1. POLARITY It is a good idea to test the polarity of the speaker and wire connection. Testing the polarity confirms that positive (+) wire is connected to the positive (+) terminal on the speaker and amplifier. A reverse- polarity connection (positive (+) wire connected to negative (-) terminal) will result in poor speaker performance and possibly damage the system. To test the polarity, take a 9 Volt battery. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the 9 Volt battery
