Painting
The grille and frame can be painted to match your walls or
ceiling, making the speaker even less noticeable. Perform the
following steps to safely paint without damaging the speaker.
1.
Completely remove the grille by lifting the edge to pull it off
the speaker body.
2.
Remove the felt matte from the back of the grille.
3.
Paint the speaker grille. It is best to use spray paint to avoid
paint clogging the holes in the grille.
4.
Allow the paint to completely dry; then reattach the felt
matte on the back of the grille.
5.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that the
holes in the grille are not blocked by paint.
Installing DN-205W in a New Building
The following steps provide detailed instructions for installing the speaker into a new building construction.
The speaker can be mounted to a wall or ceiling that is between 3/8" (9.5 mm) and 1-1/4" (31.8 mm) thick,
with sufficient depth clearance for the model being installed.
1.
Determine where you will be installing the speaker.
2.
Connect the speaker mounting panel onto the mounting bracket by taking one of the alignment panels
and pressing it under the grooves in the mounting bracket. Repeat this process on the other side.
Place the mounting bracket in the desired install location and use 2 screws and 2 washers to attach to
the wall/ceiling. Repeat this process on the other side, making sure the holes line up evenly.
Note: Put some insulation (R-14) in the wall/ceiling space before you install the speaker to improve the
sound.
3.
If you have not already done so, prepare your speaker wire in accordance with the guidelines in the
Speaker Wire Preparation section.
Important! Because the speaker wire will be routed through your walls/ceiling, you must use in-wall
rated speaker wire.
4.
Route the speaker wire from the back of your amplifier, through the wall or space above the ceiling, to
the installation location.
5.
Depress the positive/red push terminal on the back of the speaker and insert the bare wire lead or pin
plug on the positive lead into the hole on the side of the terminal. Release the terminal.
