Yarden 6-C - 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.kramerav.com/downloads/Yarden 6-C 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.

Yarden 6-C - Overview

3 Overview

The Yarden 6-C consists of a pair of high performance closed back speakers.

Mount your Yarden 6-C speakers to the ceiling in one of two ways: either directly

onto the ceiling or, for added protection, secure the speakers safely, using our

ceiling mounting kit that is provided free (see Section 5.3).

The Yarden 6-C speakers feature a multi-tap power transformer for selecting8Ω

(bypassing the transformer) or 70V/100V power settings that are suitable for an

array installation. Figure 1shows an example of how the Yarden 6-C can be

installed in a boardroom setup:

Yarden 6-C - Your Yarden 6-C Closed-back Ceiling Speakers

Each Closed-back Ceiling speaker is supported by a C-ring and two tile rails. The tile

rails prevent the speakers from falling if the tile itself comes out or falls apart, as

their ends catch onto the T-grid. When mounting onto the ceiling tiles,use both

supports. When mounting onto a sheetrock ceiling, the C-ring alone is used to

reinforce the ceiling material.

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 Installing the Yarden 6-C Closed-back

Ceiling Speakers

This section explains how to install the Yarden 6-C, that is:

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

Cutting the ceiling tile (see Section 5.2)

Mounting the speakers (see Section 5.3)

Setting up an array installation (see Section 5.4)

Painting the speakers (see Section 5.5)

5.1 Choosing the Best Location

Ideally, locate the speakers above the main listening area. 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

There is enough space 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 the Ceiling Tile

To cut the ceiling tile, do the following:

1. Remove the circle in the supplied template.

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.

3. Cut out the hole according to the template or with a circular cutter set to the

appropriate cutout size.

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

space above the speakers is clear

4. Routethewiringfromtheamplifiertothespeakers’cutout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.

If you are mounting the speakers onto 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.

The closed-back ceiling speakers are supported by the ceiling mounting kit (two

C-rings and two pairs of tile rails; the tile rails prevent the speakers from falling if

the tile itself comes out or falls apart, as their ends catch onto the T-grid). When

mounting onto the ceiling tiles, use both supports.

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.

When mounting onto a sheetrock ceiling, the C-ring alone is used to reinforce the

ceiling material.

5.3 Mounting the Speakers

To mount the Yarden 6-C, do the following:

1. Place the C-ringovertheholecutintheceilingtile(onthe“ceiling”side).

Place it around the hole so that the tabs are located in parallel to the tile

edges.
