installation
• Once the correct placement the speakers
has been determined, use the cardboard
insert marked ‘template’ (from the internal
packing) to trace the required cut-out onto
the ceiling/wall. (figure 5)
• Drill a hole inside the marked cut-out.
Using a fine gyprock saw, cut around the
inside of the marked cut-out. (figure 6)
• Remove the circular offcut and insert the
speaker to check the hole is the correct
size. Enlarge the cut-out if required.
Atmospherix A20 only:
Determine the correct orientation for
your speaker. A small arrow embossed
in the front baffle marks the direction
of the speakers primary coverage. It is
recommended that this arrow is aimed
towards your primary listening area for
best results. (Figure 3, Figure 7)
• Pull the stripped speaker cable through the
ceiling/wall opening. Push and hold down
the positive (+) red binding post on the
speaker and insert the positive (+) wire
through hole in post. Take care to assign
the same cable colour or trace to the
positive (+) connector on the amplifier, as
the positive (+) connector on the speaker.
Repeat connection process with the
negative (-) black binding post and the
negative (-) wire. (Figure 8)
• Ensure all mounting clamps are swung
back against the speaker enclosure
(Figure 8), so that the speaker can be
easily inserted into the ceiling cut-out.
Once the speaker has been located in the
ceiling/wall, use a Philips head screwdriver
to tighten all mounting screws. As the
screws are tightened, the mounting
clamps will automatically swing out over
the gyprock and clamp the speaker in
place. Be careful not to over tighten the
screws, as this may strip the clamp, or
crush the gyprock surface. (Figure 9)
• Gently fit the magnetic grille to the front
of the speaker housing. (Figure 10)
installation
If the grille requires painting it is
recommended that the grille is painted
attached to the speaker after installation.
Use a small foam roller with a light
coverage of thin paint to avoiding
blocking the holes in the grille.
before you begin
Please read the disclaimer on page 2
of this manual.
• Refers to page 3 of this manual and
discuss with your local Krix distributor, or

• Also ensure that there is enough ceiling/
wall space to accommodate the speaker
enclosure.
connecting
To ensure optimum performance it is
important that your speaker system is
connected properly:
Turn off all electronic equipment and
disconnect from the power point.
• Follow the connection instructions
supplied with your amplifier, CD/DVD, hard
disk recorder, video player etc.
• Install speaker cable in wall or ceiling
cavity, or run cable along wall surface.
Allow approximately 300mm of excess
cable to facilitate loudspeaker installation.
• Follow the connection instructions
supplied with your amplifier to connect
the speaker cables to amplifier. Take care
to assign the same cable colour or trace to
the positive (+) connector on the amplifier
as the positive (+) connector on the
speaker.
• Prepare speaker cables for connecting to
speakers by neatly stripping cable ends.
Care should be taken to eliminate loose
strands of wire that may be present a
short circuit hazard.
