INTRODUCTION  
RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT CONTINUED  
Thank you for purchasing the Sonance Ellipse LCR in-ceiling speaker.  
When properly installed, this product will provide you with years of  
entertainment pleasure.  
Proper placement of the Ellipse LCR is critical for maximum  
performance. Try to apply as many of the following recommendations  
in your installation.  
To obtain the full potential of your new speakers, please read all  
instructions before starting the installation. If you do not have the  
necessary skills to install the speakers yourself, contact your  
authorized Sonance dealer for installation options.  
The speakers should be located from eight to eighteen feet from the  
listener. The minimum recommended spacing from speaker to listening  
position would be approximately 6 feet in a room with eight foot  
ceilings. The height and size of the television will largely determine this  
distance. Keep in mind that if the television is placed at eye level and  
the speakers are installed less than six feet in front of the listening  
position the picture and sound could seem very disconnected.  
If possible the speakers should be located a minimum of three to four  
feet from the front wall this is the wall the television is on.  
PARTS LIST  
Each Ellipse speaker package includes the following items:  
(1) Sonance Ellipse LCR speaker  
The left and right speakers should be separated approximately eight to  
twelve feet apart with the center speaker placed as close to the middle  
as possible. The Sonic Eye on all three speakers should be pivoted  
toward the listening position.  
(1) Paintable grille  
(1) Plastic paint plug to protect speaker during painting  
(1) Mounting cutout template ( in packaging )  
8 to 18 feet  
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES  
FlexBracket - part number 91922  
Plastic template to reserve a hole in new construction.  
Designed to be used with the Flexbar mountinTgM system.  
Acoustical Enclosure - part number 91921  
A 1/2" medium density fiberboard enclosure designed  
specifically for the Ellipse LCR speaker.  
TV  
Sonafill in-ceiling - part number 91928  
Sonafill is a retrofitable acoustical treatment for that virtually  
eliminates the noise produced by resonating drywall and  
dramatically improves mid-bass sound quality  
RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT  
The design of many homes today leaves little space for box or in-wall  
LCR speakers. The use of in-ceiling LCR speakers has become quite  
common in the last few years. Most of these installations have used  
speakers not well suited for this purpose. The Ellipse LCR was  
specifically designed to solve this problem.  
3 to 4 feet  
8 to 18 feet  
The most important consideration when using in-ceiling LCR speakers  
is maintaining good cohesion between picture and sound. As a general  
rule you should try to install the speakers no more than 4 to 6 feet  
away from the top of the television. In a room with 8 foot ceilings and  
using a rear projection or large tube television this should be very  
easy.

Using the following recommendations will insure your installation  
achieves maximum performance from the speakers.  
Left Center Right Speaker Placement

INSTALLING THE SPEAKERS  
Step 1  
Remove the paint plug from the  
speaker. Attach the wire from your  
amplifier to the terminals on the back of  
the speaker. Double check the polarity  
of the speaker wires, amplifier + to  
speaker + and amplifier - to speaker -.  
Proper polarity is critical in home theater  
installations.  
PAINTING THE SPEAKERS AND GRILLES  
Speakers and grilles can be painted before installation, which will  
eliminate the "paint scar" if the speaker needs to be removed for  
service. Speakers may also be painted after installation, but before the  
grilles are attached. All speakers come from the factory fitted with a  
plastic "paint plug." Use the paint plug to protect the drivers while the  
flange is being painted with the ceiling.  
Step 2  
To install the Ellipse LCR, insert one side  
of the Flexbar clamps through the hole  
in the drywall. Once the feet are  
through the hole, insert the other side  
of the Flexbars into the cutout.  
Sonance suggests always painting the grilles separate from the  
speaker. The grilles may be lightly sprayed with thin paint (5 parts  
thinning agent to 1 part paint), but be careful not to plug the holes.  
Too much paint will adversely affect the sound of the speaker.  
Once the grilles and flange are painted and dry, remove the paint plug  
from the flange and install the grilles.  
Note: The maximum clamp thickness is  
1-1/4" (32mm)  
ADJUSTING YOUR SPEAKERS  
The Sonic Eye  
The unique sealed pivoting enclosure can direct sound toward or away  
from the listening area. To pivot the Sonic Eye, apply light pressure to  
the tweeter ring and the outside edge of the midrange. Do not apply  
pressure to the midrange cone or the tweeter dome. If you have any  
questions about how the Sonic Eye should be adjusted, consult your  
authorized Sonance dealer.  
Step 3  
Tighten the four screws on the front of  
the baffle. The Flexbars will  
automatically begin clamping the  
speaker. When you notice resistance on  
the four screws, the speaker has been  
clamped successfully.  
Here are some suggestions:  
Orient the Sonic Eye toward the listening area if the speakers are  
widely separated and the music fails to blend into a central image  
when the system is operated in stereo.  
The flange is designed to flex and  
conform to any small imperfections in  
the wall surface. The screws should not  
be tightened so far that the flange bows  
out.  
When using the Ellipse LCR in a home theater, point the Sonic Eye on  
all three speakers towards the listening position for more accurate  
sound.  
Step 4  
After the four Flexbar screws are  
tightened the grille can be installed.  
Insert about half of the grille into the  
groove at the edge of the speaker.  
Gently fit the remaining half of the grill  
into the speaker by working your hands  
around the speaker fitting the grille into  
the groove as you go along.  
Note: The torque applied to the  
mounting screws can be adjusted for  
proper grille fit.
