Installation

The Installation process is divided into two distinct processes, wiring and mounting. After carefully considering the intended application

(defi ning a Listening Area, Home Theater/Stereo, etc.) specifi c mounting locations can be decided upon. Once the specifi c locations are determined, installation can commence.

Wiring

Before actually running any wire or cable, take the time to look around each room or area of the house and plan the wire paths for maximum effi ciency. Look for routes through uncluttered parts of the stud wall or ceiling that allow you to group all low-voltage wires wherever possible. It is a good practice to label both ends of all cables and to protect wires by tying a plastic bag over the ends.

Label Plastic Bag

REAR

LEFT

SPK

Note 1: Low voltage wiring must be run in accordance with the Na- tional Electrical Code as well as any other applicable provisions of the local building codes in your area. In some cases (such as commercial installations), running the wire in conduit may be required. If you have any questions concerning the wiring of speakers in your home, contact your local building and inspection department.

Note 2: It is recommended that you use quality CL2 or CL3 rated stranded speaker wire when installing ELAN TheaterPoint speakers.

Solid-core “Romex” type wire is not acceptable! Use at least 16AWG speaker wire for runs up to 100 feet, and at least 14 AWG speaker wire for runs up to 200 feet. If you must cross high-voltage lines, always do so at a 90 degree angle to avoid audible hum through the speakers!

E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S INSTALLATION MANUAL THP800C

Wiring (cont’d)

The audio/speaker cable runs should be routed from the head-end location to in-wall keypad, IR receiver, or volume control locations (if applicable), then to the speaker rough-in brackets (if used). At the speaker locations, securely fasten the speaker wire to the speaker rough-in bracket.

Planning For Upgrades/Access

Route speaker wires through keypad gang box locations to facilitate access to the speaker wires. In areas using volume controls, it is advantageous to run Cat-5 wire to each volume control location to make it easy to upgrade to keypads or touch panels in the future.

THP800C INSTALLATION MANUAL E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S

Wiring (cont’d)

If not using speaker rough-in brackets, staple speaker wire runs in a loose zigzag between the studs where the speaker is to be mounted to make it easier to fi nd the cable after the drywall is installed. Zigzagging the cable also allows fl exibility in the placement of the speaker.

Note: Do not run speaker wires closer than 12” from high voltage wires

In-Ceiling Stereo Speaker Pairs

There are three common scenarios for connecting stereo speaker pairs to a distributed audio system:

• One 4-conductor speaker wire runs from the amplifi er to one speaker with two conductors connected. The second two conductors are spliced and connected to a 2-conductor speaker wire that runs to the second speaker.

Amplifier

E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S INSTALLATION MANUAL THP800C

Mounting

Two situations that can exist when mounting in-ceiling speakers:

Pre-Construction - Installations that occur in new homes being built and in remodel situations where walls and/or ceilings will be exposed.

Retro-Fit - Installation that involve existing homes with walls and ceilings fi nished.

While the end result of either type of installation is similar, the process is quite different.

Pre-Construction

In a pre-construction installation, walls and ceilings are open with no drywall installed. This is desirable and allows the installer much greater access than in retro-fi t applications. ELAN model BKT8C

Rough-In Brackets are specifi cally designed to work with the THP800 and should be used whenever possible to reserve a neat hole in the drywall, ensuring proper placement of speakers and making trim-out and fi nal installation neat and organized.

BKT8C Rough-In Bracket

Note:

THP800C is compatible with the BKT8C only. It is NOT compatible with the M

Series 8" in-ceiling rough-in bracket; the BKT800C.

Referring to the fl oor plan marked with component locations, install all speaker rough-in brackets. Make sure that the bracket frame is facing out for drywall cutting accuracy. All rough-in brackets must be securely mounted to ceiling studs and cannot be installed after the drywall is up!

THP800C INSTALLATION MANUAL E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S

Mounting Rough-In Brackets

1. Decide on the installation location for the speakers.

WARNING: Be sure mounting locations are clear of high-voltage wiring, pipes, or other obstructions.

2. Attach the Bracket Flanges to the Bracket Frame as shown.

Note: Make sure the dimpled side of the fl ange faces OUT and

interlocks with the frame from the rear.

3. Secure the bracket assembly to the ceiling joists with fl at-head

screws or heavy-duty staples.

Mounting Rough-In Brackets (cont’d.)

4. Once the drywall is installed, carefully and accurately cut out

the speaker holes using a routing tool or similar device. A drywall

professional may perform this step.

After the drywall is up and the the holes are cut, the Speaker Frame and Speaker Grille may be removed for painting (see Painting for more details). It is also possible to install only the speaker frame and speaker grille. Remove the speaker baffl e until the jobsite is secure then replace it when the fi nal installation is taking place.

Mounting Speakers in Rough-In Brackets

1. Remove speaker grille and place speaker face down.

2. Locate the speaker wire and pull through the ceiling opening.

3. Connect the speaker wire. Be sure to observe correct polarity!

4. Insert the speaker into the opening in the ceiling and carefully

tighten each of the four clamping screws, alternating diagonally

between each screw position to ensure proper fi t.

5. Once the speaker is mounted in the ceiling, twist the baffl e to

point the mid-range driver at the listening area, then point the

tweeter. See Pointing Speakers for details.

7. Set the EQ and Bass switch. See Setting Switches for

details.

8. Replace the speaker grille.

E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S INSTALLATION MANUAL THP800C

Retro-Fit

Retro-fi t installations are more diffi cult to complete than preconstruction because walls and ceilings are intact. Typically wires must be fi shed into position through walls, fl oors and ceilings. Holes must be cut and speakers mounted directly in the ceiling with no rough-in brackets. Before cutting holes in any existing wall or ceiling surface, probe the cavity behind each speaker’s installation location for obstructions!

Cutting Speaker Openings in Ceiling-No Rough-in Brackets

1. Use a stud fi nder to locate the studs around the intended

speaker location.

Note: A stud-fi nding device may not detect pipes, wiring, or

other obstructions located behind the drywall.

2. Use the inside portion of the speaker cutout template to confi rm

speaker placement.

3. Remove templates and drill or carefully punch a pilot hole in the

ceiling. A bent piece of wire or a coat hanger may be use to

probe the stud bay for obstructions. If you experience resistance

of any kind–– STOP! If any obstructions are detected, patch the

pilot hole and try again in another location.

4. Once it has been determined that the cavity is free from obstruc

tions, position the cutout template and use a pencil to lightly

trace the perimeter of the template.

5. Cut the opening using a keyhole saw, drywall router, or razor

knife.

Speaker Enclosures

In certain applications, it may be desirable to build enclosures for

TheaterPoint in-ceiling speakers. In these situations, use the guidelines presented below.

Note: The THP800C is 7" deep. Provisions must be made for this

depth when mounting the speaker in ceilings with 6" joists or less.

2 x 6 Joists

When installing TheaterPoint in-wall speakers into a pre-construction environment using 2" x 6" (or greater) ceiling studs, airtight back boxes may be constructed. The following chart gives the aproximate volume of back boxes built for the THP800C. Measurements shown in the chart are outside dimensions. Back boxes are typically constructed of 2" x 6" lumber and 3/4" MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and should be made to fi t between studs. Use glue or silicone sealant at all joints.

Speaker Enclosures (cont’d)

The completed enclosure should look similar to the drawing below.

When designing an enclosure to dimensions other than what is listed in the chart on the previous page, ELAN recommends using a height to width ratio of 1:1.5 in order to reduce resonance. The dimensions shown in the chart take this into consideration.

Fill Material

It is important to use some type of material to fi ll the enclosure to the percentage indicated in the chart on the previous page (75% for the THP800C). This will reduce vibration and give the enclosure the characteristics necessary for optimum audio performance. ELAN recommends using fi berglass insulation or polyester fi berfi ll for this purpose.

Note: Make sure that any fi ll material does not touch the speaker magnet or the back of the cone. Place fi ll material on outside edges of enclosure.

Sound Dampening Material

The use of sound dampening material such as Dynamat ® can dampen bleed-through into adjoining rooms and improve the sound quality of in-wall or in-ceiling speakers by reducing vibrations. The diagram below shows a typical in-ceiling speaker installation using sound dampening material on the back wall and the baffl e surface (the ceiling surface in which the speaker actually mounts). Additionally, there are products available that are specifi cally designed to reduce vibration in architectural speaker applications.

Pointing Speakers

TheaterPoint speakers are specifi cally designed to produce outstanding audio quality when properly placed in relationship to the listening area. Human hearing relies on mid-range and high frequencies to determine spatial direction (where a sound is coming from). Mid-range and high frequency drivers (tweeters) tend to produce narrow soundfi elds that sound much better when pointing directly at the listener whereas low frequency drivers (woofers) envelop much larger areas and tend to be more omnidirectional. The woofer fi res downward, but the low frequencies it produces are not directional in nature.

With this in mind, the THP800C’s baffl e rotates 360 degrees so that the mid-range and tweeter can point directly towards the listening position. The tweeter can be fi ne-tuned using ELAN’s exclusive

TheaterPointer Laser Pointing Device for pinpoint sonic accuracy in

Home Theaters and critical listening applications.

Pointing the Mid-Range

Once the audio system is connected and the speakers have been completely installed (with the grilles off), it is time to point the midrange driver at the listening area.

1. Ensure that the LOCK screw located on the speaker baffl e is loos-

ened by turning it counter-clockwise.

LOCK

Screw

2. Twist the speaker baffl e so that the angled mid-range driver is

pointing in the desired direction. It may be easiest to utilize the

bridge that the mid-range and tweeter are mounted on to physi

cally turn the speaker.

3. Turn the LOCK screw clockwise to tighten the speaker baffl e

and lock it in place.

E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S INSTALLATION MANUAL THP800C

Pointing Tweeter

TheaterPointer Laser Pointer

All TheaterPoint speakers include ELAN’s exclusive TheaterPointer

Laser Pointing Device for precise tweeter adjustment. Because the human ear relies heavily on high frequencies to locate sound, and because high frequency drivers create a narrow soundfi eld, it is important to align tweeters precisely. Stereo imaging, surround sound effects, and dialogue are greatly improved by correctly pointing the

TH800C’s tweeter!

To Correctly Point the Tweeter:

1. Move the tweeter so that

it points toward the desir-

ed listening position.

2. Turn TheaterPointer on by

pressing the power button.

3. Place the TheaterPointer

into the triangular hole

located on the tweeter’s

protective cover. Notice

the red spot of

light coming from the

TheaterPointer.

4. Fine-tune the position of

the tweeter such that the

red spot of light is pointing

directly at the center of the

listening area.

5. Repeat this process for

each TheaterPoint speaker

in the system.

Setting Switches

Once the speakers are wired, mounted, and positioned correctly, use the EQ switches to fi ne-tune the speakers based on local environmental variables such as hardwood fl oors, thick draperies, etc. The two EQ switches are labelled “EQ” (Equalizer) and “BASS”. The EQ switch compensates for the “liveness” or “deadness” of the room while the BASS switch cuts bass by aproximately - 20dB.

EQ Switch

Select the W (Warm) position on the EQ switch to compensate for

“live” rooms where sound bounces and refl ects from hard surfaces like tile or hardwood fl oors, large glass surfaces/windows, stone or brick walls, etc. Select the B (Bright) position to compensate for

“dead” rooms where sound is absorbed by soft materials like heavy drapes, thick carpeting, upholstered furniture, etc. Use the N (Neutral) position if no compensation is required.

BASS Switch

Select the + position for normal bass operation if the speaker is used full-range without a subwoofer. Select the - position to reduce bass frequencies by aprox. 20dB. The - option is designed to protect the the speaker during high volume operation and should only be used when a subwoofer is present in the system.

Painting

All ELAN TheaterPoint speakers can be fi nished to match any room décor. Their white, textured frames and no-rust aluminum grilles readily accept most water-based interior latex and spray enamels.

We recommend the grille and frame be painted separately. To aid in frame painting, a plastic paint shield is included that will protect the speaker baffl e.

Painting Tips:

• If not using spray paint, it is recommend that the paint be thinned

to prevent clogging of the speaker grille perforations.

• When painting, several light coats will yield the best results.

Applications

All TheaterPoint speakers have similar “voices” designed to work together to create a seamless, high-quality Home Theater or critical listening experience. ELAN strongly recommends installing Theater-

Point speakers in matched groups (Left, Center, Right, Rear, Sub) in order to preserve the acoustic integrity of the source material. The following section describes each TheaterPoint speaker in appropriate applications with other TheaterPoint speakers.

Stereo

Certain TheaterPoint speakers lend themselves very well to stereo critical listening applications. Please keep in mind that a defi ned stereo listening area must be present in order to acheive maximum benefi t from stereo placement.

Home Theater

It is essential to use voice-matched speakers in any Home Theater application. Sound emanates from each speaker in turn, and all should sound the same. TheaterPoint speakers satisfy this requirement perfectly, and should be used in combinations shown in the following section.

Center Channel Positioning

A center channel speaker should be placed as close as possible to the video display utilized in a Home Theater. In-wall center channel speakers should be mounted immediately above or below the screen as shown below. If using a cabinet speaker like ELAN’s THP525LS or

THP650LS as a center channel, position it on a stand immediately below the screen. A Center Channel speaker can also mount on a shelf above the screen - possibly in a cabinet or entertainment center.

Subwoofer Positioning

Subwoofers are considered to be omnidirectional. They produce low bass frequencies that are not especially localized. The human ear does not rely on these frequencies to place sounds in space therefore, placement is not as important as with other types of speakers.

Place subwoofers along the front wall of the room approximately 2-3 feet from the corners. Expect a 3-9dB bass boost if the subwoofer is placed directly in the corner of a room (called “corner loading”). It is usually not advisable to place subwoofers directly next to the seating position in a Home Theater.

6.1/7.1 Surround Sound

6.1 and 7.1 surround sound systems utilize additional rear and/or rear side speakers to enhance the audio effects contained in a soundtrack.

Any of the previous examples can easily become a 6.1 or 7.1 system by changing the confi guration of the rear channels. The diagrams in this section show rear and side rear speakers only!
