Unpacking the S55i
Please exercise caution when unpacking your S55i.
Caution! As shipped, a protective steel construction shield is held in place
magnetically to seal the S55i from various construction debris, paint,
etc. The grille is in a separate cardboard sleeve in the shipping
box. Please locate and save the grille for later use, leaving the
construction shield in place until you are ready to play the S55i.
The S55i is fully assembled on delivery. The front surface has a smooth, resin-
coated paper finish that can be taped and spackled, and then painted to match
the adjacent drywall (gypsum board).
The end of the speaker that contains the grille assembly also includes the “pig-
tail” for connecting the speaker to the system, as well as some “feet” to support
the S55i slightly above the sole plate, to allow room for the wiring and the base-
board of the finished wall. (Rooms with unusually tall baseboards may require
the S55i to be mounted somewhat higher still.)
The grille itself is held in place magnetically. Removing the grille exposes the
black service panel, which only needs to be removed in the unlikely case that
one or more drivers needed to be replaced after installation in the wall.
The Regenerative Transmission Line™ opening occupies less than half the space
covered by the grille. You can see the serial number of your S55i by removing
the grille and looking int the RTL opening; it will be on the back, inside surface
of the S55i enclosure.
