how to install and get the very best performance from them. Please

read it thoroughly.

TOOLS NEEDED

You will need the following tools to install your Moderno speakers:

• Pencil

• Keyhole or drywall saw

• Philips screwdriver

• Small level

• Fish tape or coat hanger

• Wire strippers

• Gloves

• Safety goggles

• Drill with ¼” – ½” bit (for test hole) and 1”

Flat bit (if drilling through studs)

BOX CONTENTS

Your Moderno speaker box should contain the following items:

(2) Moderno speakers

(2) Paintable grilles

(1) Mounting cutout template (in packaging)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

M6 In-Wall Speaker Placement

Home Theater Left/Center/Right Channels

• Place the left & right speakers on either side of the video screen,

from 6 feet to 10 feet apart and 38 – 42 inches from the floor.

• If possible, locate the left and right speakers at least 18 inches

away from the side walls.

• If possible, locate the center speaker at the same height as the left &

right channel speakers (38 – 42 inches from the floor).

• If you must place the center speaker above or below a video screen,

we recommend placing it no more than 2 feet above or below the

center of the left and right speakers. This will maintain consistent

tonality between all 3 front channel speakers.

Home Theater Surround

Channels

Locate the surround channel

speakers approximately 2 – 6 feet

behind the listening position, at

least 5 feet from the floor.

• You can create a more diffuse,

spacious surround effect by

pivoting the tweeters away from

the listeners.

Stereo

Follow the directions for Home Theater placement for the left and

right speakers.

• If listeners will be standing instead of seated, locate the speakers

with their centers approximately 5 feet from the floor.

M6R In-Ceiling Speaker Placement

Home Theater Left, Center & Right Speakers

• Place the left, center and right speakers from 1 foot to 2 feet in

front of the video screen, anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet apart,

with the center channel speaker as close to midway between the

left and right speakers as possible.

• The left & right speakers should be at least 2 feet away from the

side walls.

• The main listening position should be between 4 and 10 feet away

from the speakers.

• In some cases pivoting the tweeter of each speaker towards the lis-

tening position will help maximize the soundstage, especially when

listening to stereo music sources.

Home Theater Surround Surround Channels

Locate the surround channel speakers on the ceiling between 2 feet

and 6 feet behind the listening position. The speakers should be

between 6 feet and 10 feet apart.

• You can create a more diffuse, spacious surround effect by pivoting

the tweeters towards a wall or window, away from the listeners.

Stereo

Follow the directions for Home Theater placement for the left and

right speakers.

INSTALLING THE SPEAKERS

Before Installation: IR Knockout (M6 only)

Moderno M6 speakers have a

knockout for installing an IR

receiver into the speaker’s front

baffle. This allows you to aim

remote controls at the front of

the room instead of at

the electronics, in systems where

the electronics may be placed in

an inconvenient location.

To remove the knockout, drill it

out from the rear using a drill

with a ½” bit (there is a sleeve

guide directly behind the knock-

out).

After inserting the IR receiver

through the hole, seal it into the

speaker using silicone caulk

(make sure that there are no

gaps around the receiver that

could create air leaks) and dress

the cable behind the speaker

along with the speaker wire.

Installing the Speakers

Step 1. Determine the location

for the speaker (see

Speaker Placement

page 1). Center the

speaker between the wall

studs or ceiling joists. Tap

the wall or ceiling and lis-

ten for a “hollow” sound,

or use a stud finder to

locate studs.

Step 2. Position the included

cutout template where the

speaker is to be located

and trace the outline on

the wall or ceiling with a

pencil.

• Make sure the speakers

are even with each other

and level.

Step 3. Drill a small hole in the

center of the outline you

just traced.

Step 4. Insert a coat hanger wire

into the hole to feel-

around for possible

obstructions. If there are

obstructions, patch the

hole and select another

location for the speaker.

Step 5. Carefully cut the outline

of the mounting hole

using a keyhole or dry-

wall saw. Remove the

drywall from the cutout.

IMPORTANT: Make sure

your amplifier’s power

is turned off before

performing Step 6.

Step 6. Run the speaker cable

from the speaker outputs

of your amplifier to the

speaker locations. Use

high-quality cable such

as HomeTech HTC100

16/4 cable. Pull the

cables through the

mounting holes you cut in

the wall.

• Allow a few extra feet of

cable, and leave enough

cable slack so you can

strip the insulation from

the conductors when you’re ready to connect to the speakers.

COMPLIANCE

Step 7. Speaker performance can be

enhanced by insulating the wall or

ceiling cavity with fiberglass

insulation. When insulating speakers,

it is best to use a sheet of unfaced

fiberglass insulation behind and

around the sides of the speaker.

Step 8. Connect the positive (“+”) wire from

the amplifier to the speaker’s red

terminal. Connect the negative (“–”)

wire from the amplifier to the

speaker’s black terminal.

• The speaker’s connector posts are

spring-loaded. Push the top of each connector post down to

open the connector and insert the exposed wires into the

holes in the posts.

IMPORTANT: Be sure not to let any stray ‘+’ and ‘–’

wires touch each other. Touching wires can cause a

short-circuit that could damage your amplifier.

• Double-check that you connected amplifier “+” to speaker

“+” and amplifier “–” to speaker “–”.

Step 9. Make sure all the RotoLock clamps are in the full clockwise

position so that they are tucked within the mounting hole’s

border. Insert the speaker into the mounting hole.

Step 10. Tighten the four screws on

the front of the speaker

baffle evenly until the

speaker is seated snugly

and evenly against the wall

or ceiling.

IMPORTANT: If you are

using a drill or electric

screwdriver to tighten the

screws be sure use the

lowest torque setting.

Step 11. Install the grilles by placing them into the speaker baffles.

Powerful magnets on the grilles and on the speaker baffles

will hold the grilles firmly on the speakers.

PAINTING THE GRILLES

Moderno grilles may be painted to color-match their surroundings.

First, remove the grilles from the speakers then remove the scrim

cloth that is attached to the backs of the grilles. (The adhesive that

holds the cloth in place is reusable.) Paint the grilles with very thin

paint (5 parts thinner to 1 part paint), being careful not to plug the

holes. When the paint has fully dried, re-attach the scrim cloths to the

backs of the grilles and re-install the grilles on the speakers.

SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS

Pivoting Tweeter

Moderno M6 and M6R speakers have a

pivoting tweeter that allows you to direct

sound towards or away from the listening area,

depending on how the speakers are being

used:

• If you’re using the speakers in stereo or as

the front left/center/right speakers in a home

theater, pivot the tweeters directly towards the

listening area. This will help the sound from

the speakers blend into a solid soundstage

even if the speakers are widely separated.

• If you’re using the speakers as surround

channel speakers in a home theater, you can

create a more diffuse, spacious surround

effect by pointing the tweeters towards a wall

or window, away from the listeners.

To pivot the tweeter, apply light pressure to the

plastic ring around the outside edge of the

tweeter. Do not touch or apply pressure to the

tweeter dome.

Tweeter Level Control

The Moderno M6 and M6R have

a tweeter level control switch

that lets you boost or cut the

tweeter’s level by 3dB. This

allows you to adjust the speak-

er’s brightness to better match

your listening room or personal

taste.

Once you have installed the

speakers, listen to a variety of

music that you are familiar with.

If the music all tends to sound

too bright or dull, use the

Tweeter Level Control to com-

pensate. If some recordings

sound dull and some sound

bright the speaker is accurately

reproducing differences in the

recordings, and you should

leave the control in the middle

(0dB) position.
