Galil 6-I - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if

firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer Speakers away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

Do not open the housing of the speaker; doing so may reduce the

quality of the sound.

Galil 6-I - Overview

3 Overview

The Galil 6-I speakers include a pair of high performance speakers that can be

mounted in the wall vertically or horizontally, and also into the ceiling.

Figure 1 shows an example of how the 2-Way In-Wall Speakers can be installed in

a boardroom setup:

When planning to install the Galil 6-I in the ceiling, be sure that the

tiles can support the speaker. Smaller sized tiles or fiberglass-type

tiles cannot support the weight of the speakers. When this is the

case, the speakers will need additional reinforcement.

Speakers

This section explains how to install the 2-Way In-Wall Speakers, that is:

Choosing the best place to locate your speakers (see Section 5.1)

Cutting an opening in the wall or ceiling (see Section 5.2)

Installing the speakers (see Section 5.3)

Coverage area in case of ceiling installation (see Section 5.4)

Painting the speakers (see Section 5.5)

5.1 Choosing the Best Location

Locate the speakers in the main listening area placing the tweeters as close to ear

level as possible and at the same height. Locate the left and right speakers at

least 1.8m (6 feet) apart and 1m (3.3 feet) away from the room corners. Once you

have the location set, you can install them.

Before doing so, be sure that:

The desired location is free of obstructions, such as electrical piping, AC

ducts or water lines, and so on

The thickness of the mounting surface is between 0.95cm and 3.2cm

(0.375" and 1.25”)

There is at least a space of 7.5 cm (2.9") behind the mounting surface for

the speakers

The rear side of the speaker is not blocked by wall studs or other objects

5.2 Cutting an Opening

Before installing the Galil 6-I you will need to cut an opening in the wall or the

ceiling tile. To do so:

1. Remove the rectangle in the supplied template and tape it to the wall in the

correct location.

Galil 6-I - Installing the Galil 6-I 2-Way In-Wall Speakers

Keep this template for later use as a mask, as you may want to paint the speakers (see

Section 5.5).

2. Mark the opening in the correct location by tracing the hole in the template

(either on the wall or the ceiling tile, see Section 5.2.1 for further

information).

3. Cut out a hole or small area within the marked template.

Initially, you can cut a smaller area inside the marked hole just to be sure that the area

behind the wall is clear. To do so insert a piece of “L-shaped”wire into the smaller

opening and rotate it. If the wire hits any obstacle which prevents you from installing the

speakers, you will need to move the template and test the area behind the wall again.

4. Cut out the full-sized opening according to the template.

5. Routethewiringfromtheamplifiertothespeakers’cut out holes, taking

care not to place them next to electrical wires or at least at a distance of

about two feet from an AC line.

Do not nail or staple the speaker wires.

5.2.1 Cutting out a ceiling Tile

If you are mounting the speakers into a ceiling tile, remove the ceiling tiles where

you plan to install the speakers. Use the template to trace and then cutout the

speaker hole over an empty box.

Be sure that the tiles can support the speaker. Smaller sized tiles or

fiberglass-type tiles cannot support the weight of the speakers.

When this is the case, the speakers will need additional support.

5.3 Installing the Speakers

To install the speakers, do the following:

1. Remove the grille over the speakers by inserting a paper clip into one of the

grille openings and pulling it upward.

2. Position the mounting tabs (see Figure 3) inward.

Figure 3: Position the Mounting Tabs

3. Insert the supplied screws into the screw openings from the front of the

speakers.

4. Connect the speaker wires (we recommend that you use our Kramer BC-2S

cables) to the speaker terminals.
