2. Description

The evōQ™ 5000 Center Channel Speaker is made of black vinyl covered MDF in a sealed wooden box-style with dual 4” Poly woofers and a single silk dome-style tweeter. The speaker wire connections on the back are spring loaded for easy installation and color-coded red and black. The full-width speaker grill is retained with six push-pins (see Figure 2). Included with the speaker is the grill, four rubber feet and this instruction sheet.

3. Installation

Installation of this evōQ™ 5000 speaker is easily accomplished after the entertainment equipment is in place.

NOTE: It is recommended that a minimum of 16 gauge, 2 conductor wire be used for most applications from the amplifier or volume control to this speaker. Different gauges can, and should, be used based upon the distance of the intended run or quality of

4. Speaker

Notice in the 5.1 Home Theater example (see Figure 4) that the center channel speaker is placed above or below the TV, as close as possible to seated listening ear height. If a mesh viewing screen is used, it can be placed behind the screen.

Remember, most of the movie dialog content comes from the center channel, so it needs to be near the actor images. This example shows our angled inceiling speakers used for the other front and surround speakers.

In the 7.1 Home Theater example (see Figure 5) the center channel speaker is again placed above or below the TV (or behind the screen), as close as possible to seated listening ear height. This example shows our angled inceiling speakers used for the front speakers, while our inwall speakers are used for the surround speakers.
