PREPARATION / WIRING INFO

Speaker Wire

What kind to use: We recommend using Russound speaker cable or any

16 to 14 gauge multi-stranded wiring for amplier-to-speaker connections.

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

gauge, the smaller the diameter of the wire. The gauge of wire needed is

determined by the distance between your amplier/receiver and the speakers.

The longer the wire run, the heavier the gauge needed. Use the following

chart as a guide:

Length Minimum Gauge

0' to 150' (0 to 45m) 16

100' to 200' (30 to 60m) 14

If the conductors are not sheathed in colored jackets, be consistent with

usage. 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

When installing the speakers, avoid:

• T-bar "drop ceilings" with very thin berboard panels which can buzz and

vibrate. If needed, reinforce the drop-in panel with wood or particle board.

• Ceilings where there are pipes, heating ducts and especially AC wiring in

the general vicinity. Local building codes may dictate the type of wire you

need to use. Only wire that is rated for use in walls/ceilings should be used

for that purpose.

Speaker Wire Paths

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

distance. If you have to run them to the same locations, 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 placement for a 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.

PREPARATION / SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Use and Placement

Determine the intended use and placement of the speakers in the room.

If they are going to be your primary listening source in a room, you need to

consider some other factors to ensure 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.

The Acclaim speaker models RSA-615, RSA-635, and RSA-835 are designed to

provide focused dispersion, ensuring that high quality sound lls the chosen

listening area.

Models RSF-610, RSF-620, RSF-635, RSF-610T, and RSF-820 are designed to

provide uniform dispersion throughout a wider area.

PREPARATION / SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Speaker Placement in the Room

Bass frequencies are emphasized when ceiling speakers are placed close to a

wall or ceiling. Avoid placing one speaker in a corner and another on a long at

surface. The best acoustic performance will result if both speakers are placed in

similar positions and face a similar type of surface.

The ceiling surround speakers should be placed directly to the sides or

rear of the prime listening position, but be aimed toward the listener. This

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

If the prime purpose of the surround system is to listen to music, the ceiling

speakers should be aimed at the prime listening position.

Acclaim In-ceiling speakers may be used for rear surround sound channels by

placing them just behind the viewers. Refer to the placement diagram.

Refer to the details at right for sample In-ceiling placement options.

• Good placement for serious listening: Stereo pair In-ceiling. 6' to 8'

(1.8m-2.4m) apart, on the long wall of a rectangular room, centered on the

listening area.

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

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

area.

• 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.

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

as long as the speakers are properly directed. The ceiling speakers should

be directed so that the sound is aimed toward the listener.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

Pre-wire or Pre-construction

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

Route the speaker wire to the speaker location avoiding all obstacles.

Russound oers Speaker Rough-In Brackets that can be fastened to the

adjacent studs. 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 ceiling.

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

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

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

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

Note:

Run two pair conductors for single point speakers.

Painting the Speaker Grille

Russound Acclaim Speaker Grilles have a designer white nish that can be

painted with ordinary latex paint. Remove the speaker grille from the speaker

before painting.

1. Remove the magnetic speaker grille and remove the scrim cloth from the

grille and set aside.

2. Paint the grille. Russound recommends diluting the latex paint with water

4:1 or 5:1 proportionally.

3. While the paint is still wet on the grille, and the grille is not attached to the

frame, use a gentle burst of compressed air against the outside surface to

clear the ne holes in the mesh.

4. After the paint has thoroughly dried, re-attach the scrim cloth, and attach

the grille to the frame.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

Additional Tips / Considerations

• If possible, run speaker wires after AC wiring is in place so you can separate

the wires and avoid induced noise caused by close parallel proximity of the

two types of wire.

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

• Any speaker installed in a ceiling should have a safety wire rmly tied

between the back of the speaker assembly and the frame of the building.

Use any strong insulated wire and connect it to the speaker frame or bae,

being careful not to let it interfere with the speaker’s operation. The other

end should be rmly attached to the joist or ooring above using a hook,

nail, or other reliable fastener.

• 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.

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

in this manual.

Speaker Assembly

Do not attach the scrim cloth and grille

until the speaker has been connected and

secured in the ceiling.

INSTALLATION

Installation

1. Connect the speaker wire to the speaker terminals:

• Leave about 2' (60 cm) of wire extending through the ceiling cutout.

• Pull the conductors apart so the last two inches are separated and

remove ½" (13 mm) of insulation from the end of each conductor.

• Twist the strands in each conductor into tight spirals.

• Attach the speaker wires to the red and black speaker terminals. Connect

the Positive (+) conductor to the Red terminal and the Negative (-)

conductor to the Black terminal. Make sure that no stray strands of wire

are touching the other conductor or terminal.

• Single point speakers have four terminals; Right(+), (-) and Left(+),

(-). Run an extra pair of conductors and observe proper polarity when

making connections.

2. Center the speaker in the cutout. Rotate the frame as needed before

tightening the screws. Tighten the screws equally until the clamps secure

the frame. Do not overtighten.

3. Attach the magnetic grille.

TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS

Listening Test

It’s a good idea to test everything at this point.

1. Turn on your stereo system or music source. Make sure that the volume

control is turned down and that the balance control is set to center.

2. Gently turn up the volume. You should hear music coming out of your new

Russound Speakers! (If you don’t, refer to the troubleshooting guide.)

3. Now rotate the stereo’s balance control all the way to the left. Sound should

only come out of your left speaker. If it comes out of the right speaker, skip

to Step 5.

4. Rotate the balance control all the way to the right. Sound should only come

out of the right speaker.

5. If sound comes from the right speaker when the stereo’s balance control is

turned to the left, you’ll need to change the connections on the back of the

amplier/receiver. Note: Turn o the amplier. Swap the wires attached to

the left and right speaker terminals before turning the amplier back on.

Tweeter Adjustment

The tweeters pivot and should be aimed toward the intended listener. Before

installing the grille, gently press on the outside of the tweeter ring as shown.

(Not applicable for the RSF-610T)

Press on the outer ring of the

tweeter to achieve desired angle.

Tweeter Adjustment

Adjusting the Frequency Response

Several models are equipped with Treble and Dialogue enhancement

frequency adjustment switches. Turn the switch to change the settings.

-3 dB: Reduces the loudness of the selected frequency (Treble)

+3 dB: Increases the loudness of the selected frequency (Treble or Dialogue)

+6 dB: Increases the loudness of the selected frequency (Dialogue)

0 dB: Selected frequency remains neutral (recommended start setting)
