Intr oduction The A T or Advanced T echnology group of In-W all Loudspeakers are designed to deliver truly stunning performance with optimum installation flexibility .
X-Matrix ™ Reinforced Baf fle The X-Matrix baffle design uses specially molded ribs to add rigidity to the baffle assembly . The end result is better bass and improved midrange detail.
New Construction Wings Bracket Frame Speaker Baffle Grille Recommended Amplifier Power For satisfactory performance, we recom- mend an amplifier with a power rating of twenty to two hundred watts for the A T8000 and A T8200 speakers. Curiously , most speakers are not damaged by large amplifiers but by small amplifiers.
Speaker Wire Use 2-conductor speaker wire when con- necting A T speakers to your receiver or amplifier . For most applications, we rec- ommend you use a minimum of 16 or 1 8 gauge wire. For wiring runs longer than 80 feet we recommend a minimum of 1 4 gauge wire.
Although the A T speakers utilize an infinite baffle design which does not require the use of a backbox, critical listeners may appreciate the tighter bass and extended frequency response into the lower octaves that the use of a backbox (or blocking off the wall cavity) will provide.

around you” effect). By trying to place the speakers so that they create as much reflected sound as possible, you emphasize the ambient effect. They can be up high in the wall or even down low at power outlet height, in the ceiling, near corners, or directed at reflective objects and walls.
you can avoid wire routes which could potentially induce hum over the speaker wire. The basic rules are: • Never run speaker wire through the same hole as an electrical cable. • Never run speaker wire into the same J-box as electrical cable. • A void running the speaker wire beside the electrical cable.
Whenever you run the wire further than four and one half feet from a hole in a stud or joist (open attic space, going up walls, etc.), fasten the wire to the joists or studs using cable clamps or appropriately sized wire staples. The wire should not have large sags in it, nor should it be too tight.
route around it all. Y ou can accidentally induce 60 Hz hum on your speakers if you run your speaker wire right beside electri- cal wire for more than a few feet.
In traditional wood stud/drywall construc- tion you can cut the hole for the speaker and utilize the large hole to auger holes across, up or down the wall for as far as your drill bit will take you.
Inst allation of Br acket s, Fr ames and Grilles in Ne w Construc tion Stage One: Before Drywall is Hung Insulating the W all Cavity . If feasible, fill the wall cavity with insula- tion at this point. Attach the wings to the bracket by snapping them into the sides of the bracket.
Screw one side of the assembled bracket with wings to the stud using one of the sup- plied screws. Level the bracket. Screw the other side of the bracket to the stud. T wo or three screws (depending upon the size of the model) on each side makes for a very secure installation.
Inst allation of Br acket s, Fr ames and Grilles in Existing W alls Important: Before you cut into any wall, review the sections on running wire and speaker placement.
7. Attach the frame to the bracket by screwing the frame to the bracket using the supplied screws. Do not overtighten the screws, this will distort the frame and the grilles will not fit (this is not perma- nent, just loosen the screws and the grille will pop in).
Installing the Speaker If the grille is already installed, remove it by using a bent paper clip or the tip of a corkscrew and pulling it away from the frame (See Figure 1 3) . 1. Separate the speaker wire so that at least two inches of each conductor are free.
Oper ation Listening at Higher V olumes It requires more power to achieve a reason- able volume of sound in a large room than it does in a small room. It is possible (even if you are not a teenager) to turn the volume so high that the amplifier runs out of power .
