Placing Your Ceiling Speaker
for Dual Channel Stereo Operation
Placement can make all the difference in how your speaker will
sound, and how easy it will be to install. Carefully consider where
your speaker should be positioned. For optimum dual channel
stereo performance, the speaker should be mounted as close as
possible to the center of the main listening area as shown in Fig. 2
position 1. (Note: Set switch to 8 ohm mode, and connect left and
right channels from your receiver to the two sets of input terminals
on the speaker, as shown in Fig. 5B.)
For Rear Center Surround
or Single Channel Surround Operation
For surround rear center, mount the speaker as shown in Fig. 2
position 2. (Note: Set switch to 8 ohm mode, and connect the two
rear channel outputs from your receiver to the two sets of input
terminals on the speaker, as shown in Fig. 5B.) Avoid mounting the
speaker in stud cavities containing electrical wiring, heating ducts,
water pipes, etc. Make sure the wall or ceiling materials are sturdy
enough to support the weight of the speaker. Since the NX-
PRO6222DVC is also designed to be used as a single channel
speaker with wide dispersion, it makes a superb surround sound
rear or side speaker. You can mount the unit in the ceiling slightly
in front of or behind the listening position, left and right, as shown
in Fig. 2 positions 3 and 4. (Note: Set switch to 4 ohm mode, and
connect ONLY one channel from your receiver to only one set of
input terminals on the speaker, as shown in Fig. 5A.)
Tweeter Level Adjustment (Fig. 1)
The tweeter level switch allows you to tailor the speakers’ frequency
response to better match the room’s acoustics. As an example, if a
room has a hardwood floor, which makes it acoustically brighter
sounding, you may want to adjust the tweeter level control to com-
pensate. The nominal factory setting with the switch in the middle
represents a flat acoustic response. Switching the control to +3 will
increase the high frequency slightly to make up for a dead or dull

Normal/ Wide Operating Mode Control (Fig. 1)
With this switch in the “normal” position the tweeter’s sound field is directional relative to the
angle you set with the swivel positioning in Fig. 3. With the switch in the “wide” mode, the
tweeter’s high frequency sound field pattern will become very wide and diffuse. This setting
is especially useful for single channel operation as a surround sound speaker where you
want a diffuse/ambient rear surround sound.

output for bright sounding reflective rooms. You can experiment with the level to find the
sound that’s most pleasing to you in your particular listening environment.
