Product Overview

.www.velodyne.com SC-IW Installation Manual

The SC-IW (In-Wall) subwoofer can be installed in a variety of locations and positions in any given

installation. Although this product is extremely versatile and flexible in its uses, it has been

specifically designed for two major applications - New Construction Installations and Retro-Fit

Installations in structures made of traditional 2x4 studs with 16 inch spacing, on-center.

This document provides the detailed process for properly installing the SC-IW into a wall. The

SC-IW is designed to be powered by the SC-1250 subwoofer amplifier. For maxiumum

performance, it is strongly recommended that only the SC-1250 be used to power the SC-IW.

The user’s manual for the SC-1250 subwoofer amplifier provides the details on connectivity and

proper configuration of the SC-IW after installation.

Driver Technology

The SC-IW subwoofer utilizes new and innovative patent-pending driver technology that has been

created specifically for the custom installation market. The SC-IW driver was specially designed

to maximize in-wall subwoofer performance while significantly reducing wall vibration. The driver

uses "dual tandem spider design" along with a propriety neodymium motor structure providing

an extremely long-throw driver capable of producing very high sound pressure levels. Below is

across section of the SC-IW driver.

Cabinet Technology

Complimenting the cutting edge technology in the SC-IW driver is the cabinet, again specially

designed for in-wall installations. The SC-IW cabinet wall utilizes a propriety multilayer "sandwich"

material consisting of two 1.0 mm aluminum plates surrounding 2.5 mm of medium density

fiberboard (MDF) which is laminated under high pressure to create an extremely rigid cabinet

design that has the density and performance of traditional high end cabinets utilizing 3/4 or 1

inch MDF.

The SC-IW consists of two cabinets — the “driver module” and the “back box.” (a.k.a. the

“Enclosure”). Unlike other in-wall products where a back box may be optional, the SC-IW

requires both enclosures, unaltered, for every installation. In new construction situations, the

back box is in installed first (for example, at the framing or rough out stage), and the driver

module is installed later in the trim out stage. In retrofit situations both boxes are typically

installed together.

The driver module assembly is shown below. It uses a unique bracing system in that the driver

acts as the "internal bracing structure" for the speaker enclosure.

The in-wall back box contains internal bracing to minimize cabinet flex and wall vibration.

The driver module and the back box areconnected through two rubber conduits, sealed with

supplied hose clamps. This linking system provides the installer the flexibility to either install the

two boxes together in the wall or separately prior to installation.

The SC-IW comes in two completely separate cartons — the SC-IWBB (Back Box) and the

SC-IWDVR (Driver).

Parts included with the SC-IWBB rough install kit:

•In-wall back box - Qty 1

•Mudring for "retro fit" installation - Qty 1

•Installation manual - Qty 1

•Installation hardware

Parts included with the SC-IWDVR driver module:

•SC-IW driver module - Qty 1

•Clamp ring - Qty 2

•Standard grille - Qty 1

•Designer grille - Qty 1

•Hardware

•Installation manual - Qty 1

You must first decide how the SC-IW is to be installed — whether new or retrofit installation,

and whether you are using the standard or designer grille. Remember that in all cases the grille

can be painted to match the room’s de´cor.

Consider the following information when deciding how the SC-IW will be installed.

Installation Overview

CONSTRUCTION NEW RETROFIT

Standard Benefits: Benefits:

Grille •Allows pre-installation of the back box Provides easiest servicing for the driver

at minimal risk and expense

•Provides easiest servicing for the driver See page 38 for a description of

•No risk to the subwoofer during this installation

drywall/paint/finish processes

See page 4 for a description of

this installation

Designer Benefits: Benefits:

Grille •Provides the smallest grille available Provides the smallest grille available

Considerations:

•Must install both back box and driver See page 25 for a description of

cabinet at frame out stage — higher risk this installation

of theft or damage to the subwoofer

•Difficult to service driver as drywall must

be removed to remove driver module

See page 15 for a description of

this installation

Note: This installation process assumes that the installer has access to the open framed 2x4

studded wall with 16 inch spacing. In the event that the stud spacing is larger, an additional

2x4 or other spacer can be used to fill the space between the SC-IW back box and the

neighboring stud.

Step 1 - Install Mudring

Unpack the first carton (SC-IWBB) and place the contents on the floor. Remove the mudring

from the packaging. At this time the decision needs to be made about which direction the woofer

will fire (up or down) and therefore where the grille will be located on the wall. Typically the woofer

will fire downwards and the grille will be located near the floor. (Remember to consider

baseboards and other trim work that might be used on the house in this case.) Once you have

decided where to place the grille, staple the mudring to the studs as shown in figure 1.

Align mud

ring to line

on the

back box.

Figure 1: Install Mudring - The back box is used for reference position only — it is installed in the next step.
