Getting Started
Installation
Installation • In-wall installation should be located directly above the listening area. In rooms larger than the bathroom or closet, it is recommended to install additional speakers for better performance. • You may install a bracket where you will be placing the speaker prior to installing drywall. Once insulation and drywall is installed, you may cut the speaker hole.
1. Choose a location in your home to setup your new VM Audio in-wall speaker.
• Use a stud-finder to locate the nearest wood or metal stud and keep in mind the baffle flange will protrude outside of the mounting hole.
Painting The Wall Speakers • It is recommended to paint your speaker before installing into your wall, or reverse the steps of installation to remove the speaker for easy painting. For painting the installed speaker, please use the paint mask in place of the grille. If painting the grille, do not paint while attached to the speaker, and be careful to not clog the holes, which will decrease sound quality. VM Audio recommends only light spray painting.
2. Using the included template, position and outline the hole on the wall.
Power Requirements • For non-distorted high output performance, use an amplifier with the same power rating as the loudspeaker.
Speaker Wires • When running long lengths of speaker wires, it is recommended that higher gauge wire (14 Ga or higher) is always used throughout the wiring.

No Sound from One Speaker • Check the “balance” control on your receiver amplifier. • Check all connections and cable to the inoperable speaker. • Disconnect the “working” speaker from the receiver amplifier connection/channel. Switch the cord from the non-operating speaker from its current connection to the “working” speaker connection. If the speaker now works, the problem is your receiver amplifier. • Reconnect as original. Remove the speaker cable at the “working” speaker directly and connect it directly to the non-working speaker. If the speaker now works, the problem is somewhere in the original speaker cable. • If the speaker still does not work the problem is the speaker.
