Speaker Wall Jack  (400-0991)      Installation       Faxback Doc. # 14007

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Choose a location for the wall plate where:

    Either wiring exists, or you can easily run wire through the
    partition(s)/ wall(s) to the location.

    The location does not interfere with electrical wiring or framing
     members behind the wall.

INSTALLATION

1.  Draw an outline on the wall in pencil measuring 1 3/4 x 4 inches (4.4
    x 10.2 cm).

2.  Drill a 3/s-inch (1 cm) hole in two corners of the outline.


3.  Using a saber saw or keyhole saw, make four cuts.


4.  Run wiring from the source (amplifier/receiver, etc.) through the
    partition(s) and bring it out through the cut opening.

    Installation Hint: Use color-coded speaker wire to help you identify
    the polarity (+ and - sides).


5.  Carefully remove about 1/2 inch (.5 cm) of insulation from the wire
    ends. Twist the ends and solder the wire to the terminals on the back
    of the wall plate. Solder the - speaker wires to the outer tabs and
    the + speaker wires to the center tabs.
  
    Note:  Be careful to match the polarity (+ and -), and attach the
           correct speaker wire (left or right) to the matching speaker
           terminal.

6.  Assemble the two mounting brackets (formed and flat strips), mount
    them in the opening, and twist them to fit the opening.  Tighten the
    four screws between the brackets.

7.  Install the wall plate and secure it to the brackets using the
    supplied screws.

8.  Plug a pair of speakers with 1/4-inch RCA phono connectors into the
    wall plate's left and right speaker jacks.

    Note:  If your speaker wires do not end in RCA-type connectors, you
           can attach the wires to the supplied phono jacks. Remove about
           1/2 inch of insulation from the wire ends. Unscrew the cover
           from the jack and solder the speaker wires to the terminals.
           Attach the - wire to the larger terminal and the + wire to the
           smaller terminal.

Caution:  Be sure your amplifier/receiver is turned off when you connect
          the wires.
