INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Russound Acclaim 7 Series Fixed Tilt In-wall

Speakers. Like all Russound speakers, they combine acoustic technology

with durability and will provide years of musical enjoyment. The Acclaim line

provides solutions for background music, dedicated music listening and home

theater.

The 7 Series line combines premium acoustic materials, with our most

advanced drivers to deliver exceptional performance in every application.

From background music to spectacular surround sound, Acclaim speakers

oer the nest sound around.

Iso-Mount technology takes the Acclaim 7 Series beyond ordinary In-wall

speakers by reducing undesirable wall vibrations with a unique thermopolymer

isolation mounting gasket. Where typical In-wall speakers lack clarity due

to speaker-induced wall vibrations, Iso-Mount speakers oer dramatic sonic

improvement by letting the music come only from the speakers, not from the

wall. In addition, the innovative Twist & Lock mounting system incorporated in

Iso-Mount models provides exceptionally easy and secure installation.

In addition to Iso-Mount, the Russound Acclaim 7 Series speakers feature

high quality drivers, sophisticated crossover networks, and advanced designs

to ensure optimum reproduction.

PREPARATION / WIRING INFO

Speaker Wire

The amount of wire needed varies with speaker placement. Label speaker

wires with left, right, and room location.

What kind to use: We recommend using Russound AW series speaker cable

or any reputable brand of 16 to 12 gauge multi-stranded wiring for amplier-

to-speaker connections.

Selecting the proper gauge: Wire is measured in gauges: the bigger the

number, the smaller the wire. The gauge of wire needed is determined by the

distance between your amplier/receiver and the speakers. The longer the

run, the heavier the gauge needed. Use the following chart as a guide:

Length Minimum Gauge

0' to 100' 16

50' to 150' 14

100' to 200' 12

If the conductors are not sheathed in colored jackets, utilize the conductors

consistently. The standard colors on the terminals are red Positive (+) and

black Negative (-). If the wire has transparent insulation, one conductor will be

copper-colored (+) and the other silver-colored (-). If the wire has an opaque

insulation, the conductors are dierentiated by a series of ribs or grooves, a

stripe, or dotted line on one conductor. Use and mark these as the Positive (+)

conductor.

Installation Tips

Wall and spacing requirements:

Any wallboard or paneling and 2" x 4" stud wall, or lath and plaster walls.•

A minimum depth of 3⁄" (9.2 cm) measured from the outside face of the•

mounting surface, and at least 1 cubic foot of space behind the speaker for

optimal performance.

When installing the speakers, avoid:

Brick or concrete walls where the wallboard or paneling is attached to thin•

furring strips.

Walls where there are pipes, heating ducts and especially AC wiring in the•

general vicinity.

Speaker Wire Paths

Avoid running speaker wires close to house electrical wiring for any•

distance. If you have to run them parallel, leave two feet between the

wiring. Speaker wires should cross AC lines at a 90° angle.

The entire path between speakers and amplier should be clear and•

unobstructed. Conrm the placement for the wall port close to the

intended location of the amplier or receiver.

Label speaker wires at each end with left and right and the room location.•

Impedance Matching for Ampliers and Speakers

Not all ampliers or receivers can safely operate two sets of speakers at once.

If you intend to use more than one pair of speakers at a time it’s important

to consider both the impedance of the speakers and the capabilities of the

amplier or receiver you’re using.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Use and Placement

The advantage of the 7W51SFT and 7W52FT models' xed tilt design is

that they can be mounted in less than perfect locations and still be directed

towards the listener.

There are several factors to keep in mind before you begin actual installation.

In general, the best acoustic performance will result if both speakers face

a similar type of surface, are placed in similar positions on the same wall

or ceiling, and are mounted to the same type of material with equal cavity

volume.

Bass frequencies are emphasized when an In-wall speaker is placed close

to a corner. This tends to make male voices sound deeper and may muddy

some sounds such as sound track dialogue. Avoid placing just one speaker in a

corner and another on a long at wall.

Treble is emphasized when it bounces back from reective surfaces such

as large windows. Conversely, highs tend to be mued by soft surfaces

such as drapes, rugs, upholstered furniture, etc. The best situation is a mix of

absorptive and reective surfaces, which can be achieved by adding throw

rugs or insulated drapes to a reective room.

The tweeters should be aimed at ear level of the intended user.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Speaker Placement in the Room

Placement can make all the dierence in how your Russound speaker system

sounds. There are at least four related considerations that factor into the

speaker layout:

The intended use: critical listening, home theater, or background music•

The room’s physical characteristics: hard, reective surfaces or soft,•

absorbent textures

The listening locations: a desired prime listening spot or a need for sound•

throughout the room

The available locations: unobstructed wall and ceiling surfaces•

It may happen that the ideal or desired locations for the speakers may have

to be modied for feasibility.

All rooms have dierent sound characteristics. Speaker location, listening

location, reective and absorbing surfaces all have a dramatic eect on the

sound you hear.

Stereo Imaging

If your Russound In-wall Speakers are going to be your primary listening

source in a room, you need to consider some other factors to insure proper

imaging. The term "stereo imaging" refers to a speaker system’s ability to

project music so that it sounds like the performers are in a three-dimensional

space between the speakers. It’s the whole point of having stereo instead of

monophonic sound.

To achieve good stereo imaging, the speakers are best located 6' to 8'

(1.8m-2.4m) apart on the short wall of a rectangular room. Optimally, tweeters

should be directed towards ear level when the listener is seated. Ceiling

mounted speakers are best located slightly forward of the listening position

with the angled bae toward the listener. Also, the tweeter can be angled

toward the listener for additional sound.

Home Theater

When setting up a home theater surround sound system, it is preferable to

use wall mount rather than ceiling speakers for the front three channels. The

three front speakers should be at close to equal heights, and angled toward

ear level when the listener is seated. The center channel speaker (Acclaim 7

Series LCR) should be located above or below the TV screen aligned with the

center of the screen and directed at ear height. The left and right speakers

should be about 3' or 4' to either side of the screen. Left and right speakers

placed too close together or too far apart dissipate the illusion of being "in the

action" on the screen.

For home theater, wall or LCR speakers for the front three channels create the

illusion that the sound is coming from the screen, which makes the viewing

experience more involving and believable.

Place the front speakers close to the same plane as the front of the TV as•

possible.

Aim the bae and tilt the tweeters so they aim at the prime listening•

position.

Align the center channel speaker with the center of the screen, and place•

the left and right speakers no further than 4' (1.2m) from either side of the

screen.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Surround Sound

If the prime purpose of the surround system is to watch TV and movies,

the surround speakers should be placed to produce a diuse sound eld.

Iso-Mount wall speakers should be placed to the sides or rear of the prime

listening location, located 24" (61 cm) or more above ear level when the

listener is seated.

For TV and movies, ceiling surround speakers should be placed directly to

the sides or rear of the prime listening position, and aimed toward the listener.

This conguration is also suitable for a TV/movie and music mixed use.

The 7W52 makes an excellent height channel for the new Dolby® Pro Logic

IIz standard which introduces a vertical aspect to the sound eld through the

addition of left and right-channel front height speakers mounted above the

main speakers. The 7W52's Iso-Mount and xed tilt design work well in this

application, which adds height to the front speakers to enhance the overall

surround sound experience.

Placement Options

Good placement for serious listening:• Stereo pair in-wall. 6' to 8' (1.8m-2.4m)

apart, on the long wall of a rectangular room, centered on the listening

area. In-wall speakers should be at ear height when seated, if possible, and

angled toward the listener.

Best placement for serious listening:• Stereo pair in-wall. 6' to 8' (1.8m-2.4m)

apart, on the short wall of a rectangular room, centered on the listening

area. In-wall speakers should be at ear height when seated, if possible, and

angled at the listener.

Good placement for background listening:• Stereo pair behind, above or to

the sides of the main listening area. 6' to 8' (1.8m-2.4m) apart, centered on

the listening area. If in-wall speakers are at ear height directly behind the

seated location they will be more distracting because the high frequency

response will be more prominent. Preferred placement is o to the side.

Surround sound:• The multiple surround locations can all be made to work

as long as the speakers are properly directed toward the listener.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

Pre-wire or Pre-construction

Locate all obstructions (AC wiring, plumbing, duct work, and studs). Route

the speaker wire to the speaker location avoiding all obstacles.

Russound oers Speaker Rough-In Brackets (SB-W50FT) that can be fastened

to the adjacent studs. Use a small level to make sure the bracket is straight.

Once the dry wall is installed, the opening is cut out. There are holes molded

into the bracket for speaker wire tie-o to keep the wire from being lost during

construction.

Make sure the speaker cutout (hole) doesn't extend further than ¼" (0.6 cm)

from the inside of the mounting bracket.

Retrot Installation

Locate existing pipes, duct work, and AC wiring before cutting any holes in

the walls.

Center the cardboard template between adjacent joists, avoiding all wiring,1.

pipes, duct work, and lightly mark the corners with a pencil. Then use a

keyhole/drywall saw or motorized spiral-cut tool to make the opening.

Score the outline of the template with a utility knife to prevent chipping.2.

If dealing with lath and plaster or thick paneling, drill 1" (2.5 cm) holes in

several places around the pencil outline. Use a ne-toothed keyhole saw

or hacksaw blade with slow strokes to saw through and remove the inner

surface.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

Additional Tips / Considerations

If possible, run speaker wires after AC wiring is in place to avoid induced•

hum caused by close parallel proximity of the two types of wire.

Secure speaker wires in place against a stud along vertical runs with•

insulated staples only. Do not pierce the wire insulation. Allow a bit of slack

for expansion of building materials.

Route horizontal wire runs through holes drilled in studs at roughly equal•

heights.

The speakers should not be installed until the wallboard is in place. In the•

meantime, leave several feet of wire coiled up and secured to the back

side of the mounting frame. Excess length can be removed during nal

assembly.

When installing the drywall, make sure the speaker cutout hole doesn’t•

extend farther than ¼" (0.6 cm) from the inside of the mounting frame.

Terminate the wires in an outlet box attached to a stud or retrot junction•

box at the exit location. Utilize an outlet plate which has connections for

speaker wire terminations. Russound dealers oer a full line of Russound

PlateMate™ connection systems.

After the drywall is secured and nished, install the speakers as described•

in this manual.

Painting the Speaker Frame and Grille

Russound Acclaim Speakers have a designer white nish that can be painted

with ordinary latex paint.

Remove the magnetic speaker grilles. If the speaker is already installed,1.

gently pry under the frame to lift the grille.

Remove the scrim cloth from the grille and set aside.2.

Paint the grille and its frame. Russound recommends diluting the latex3.

paint with water 4:1 or 5:1 proportionally.

While the paint is still wet on the grille, use a gentle burst of compressed4.
