6.
Depress the negative/black push terminal and insert the bare wire
lead or pin plug on the negative lead into the hole on the side of
the terminal; then release the terminal. Gently pull on each lead to
ensure that they are securely connected to the terminals.
7.
Rotate the Tap Selector so that the correct power setting is
selected (see side image).
8.
Remove the speaker grille, which is held in place with magnets.
9.
Ensure that the mounting tabs on the speaker assembly are
turned inward.
10.
Begin to insert speaker into the speaker mounting bracket. When
the speaker is flush with the wall/ceiling leaving only the black magnetic brim
exposed, use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to begin to tighten the 6 attachment
screws which are connected to the mounting tabs (see side images). The
screws will automatically turn once you begin rotating the screw clockwise.
Repeat for all 6 tabs and make sure not to overtighten the screws.
11.
Replace the grille onto the speaker body.
12.
Ensure that your amplifier is powered off and unplugged from the power
source.
13.
Connect the amplifier end of the speaker wire to one of the speaker level
outputs on your amplifier, taking care to match the polarity markings on the speaker wire or plugs.

Enjoy using the DN-205W!
Installing DN-205W in an Existing Wall/Ceiling
The following steps provide detailed instructions for installing the speaker onto a wall or ceiling that is
between 3/8" (9.5 mm) and 1-1/4" (31.8 mm) thick, with sufficient depth clearance for the model being
installed. If installing to a drop ceiling, use of a mounting bracket is required.
1.
Determine where you will be installing the speaker. Use a stud finder to ensure that there is sufficient
space between the desired location and the adjacent studs. Check for framing members that run
perpendicular to the main studs. Use a pencil to mark the edges of the adjacent studs.
2.
Remove the center portion of the cardboard installation template and position the installation template
against the wall or ceiling at the installation location. For wall installations, use a carpenter's level to
ensure that the template is level.
3.
Use a pencil to mark the cut line. For wall installations, use the level to
check the cut lines to ensure they are level.
Note: For installations in high quality, press board drop ceilings, you can
cut into the ceiling panels and use the same directions seen below.
4.
Drill a small test hole in the middle of the cutout area and take a stiff
piece of wire, such as a hanger, and bend it 90°, about 8" (203 mm) from
the end. Insert the wire past the bend, then rotate the wire 360° to check
for hidden obstructions behind the wall. Push it in to ensure that there is
sufficient clearance behind the wall or ceiling.
5.
Once you know your installation location is clear, use a drywall or keyhole
saw to cut along the cut lines.
6.
Remove the wall/ceiling space and check that the speaker fits the hole that you cut.
Note: Put some insulation (R-14) in the wall/ceiling space before you install the speaker to improve the
sound.
7.
If you have not already done so, prepare your speaker wire in accordance with the guidelines in the
Speaker Wire Preparation section.
Important! Because the speaker wire will be routed through your walls/ceiling, you must use in-wall
rated speaker wire.
8.
Route the speaker wire from the back of your amplifier, through the wall or space above the ceiling, to
the installation location.
9.
Remove the speaker grille, which is held in place with magnets.
