Introduction

The Genelec AIW26B Active In-wall

loudspeaker system consists of a bass

reflex type two-way loudspeaker and a

matched remote amplier module, RAM1.

It The AIW26B can be used in the most

demanding applications, like the main

L-C-R array of a Home Theater system,

critical Stereo listening or rear/side

channels of a large, state-of-the-art Home

Theater.

Installation

Genelec recommends that you use the

services of an authorized installation

speci alist or oth e r co m petent and

experienced installation company for the

installation of the AIW26B system. Ask your

local Genelec dealer for recommended

installation companies in your region.

Matching loudspeakers

and amplifiers

Each AIW26B loudspeaker unit has been

factory calibrated for optimum performance

with the RAM1 amplifier it is shipped

with. Never mix these matched amplifier-

loudspeaker systems in the installation

process. The matching units are marked with

the same ID number on the reex port of the

AIW26B enclosure and the top panel of the

RAM1

Loudspeaker placement

Genelec AIW26B loudspeakers are

equipped with Genelec’s proprietary

Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW). One

of the main characteristics of the DCW

technology is that the loudspeakers give

a very even and consistent frequency

response over a larger listening area than

conventional loudspeakers. A secondary

function of the DCW is to reduce the o-axis

radiated sound energy, thereby minimizing

the reections from the side walls, oor and

ceiling. This results in a precise and stable

sound image

If the AIW26B loudspeakers are used in an

application where their capability for precise

sound imaging is needed, such as the front

channels of a Surround Sound system or

a Stereo system, we recommend that the

loudspeakers are placed as far as possible

from wall corners and other reflective

surfaces. The loudspeakers should be placed

symmetrically in relation to the listening

position and there should be no obstructions

between the loudspeaker and the listener.

This guarantees clear dialogue in lms and

a good stereo image with music. Figure 1

shows a Left-Center-Right arrangement that

works well both as Surround Sound front

channels and a Stereo pair.

Whole house audio installations might

require less stringent placement options. In

these cases be sure to consult this manual

for dip switch settings near boundary

conditions in Table 3.

Side and rear channel speaker placement

in home theaters should follow the practical

guidelines given in 5.1, 7.1 and 3D audio

congurations.

Painting the loudspeakers

The metal mesh grille can be spray painted

to match the wall colour. Do not paint

the loudspeaker enclosure itself, or try

to paint the grille while it is attached to

the loudspeaker. Remove the thin cloth

attached to the grille to avoid clogging

the grille with paint. Paint the grille with a

thin spray. Do not use brushes or rollers.

Be very careful not to clog the holes on the

mesh with paint.

Installing the AIW26B

loudspeaker enclosure

AIW26B specic pre-construction brackets

are available at your Genelec dealer. In

the following we describe the installation

procedure into an existing wall.

Use the cardboard wall cut-out template

to find the location for the AIW26B. The

template also shows the position of the

loudspeaker drivers, so you can easily

nd the placement that brings them to the

optimum position as outlined in chapter

“Loudspeaker placement”.

Examine the wall structure carefully to

nd a clearly unobstructed location for the

loudspeaker. The loudspeaker enclosure

requires a minimum of 102 millimeters (4

in) of free depth measured from the surface

of the drywall. Note that the grille is slightly

wider and taller than the hole and requires

about 30 millimeters (1 1/16 in) of smooth

wall surface around all sides of the hole.

When you have found a good location,

check that the template is level and trace

the hole onto the wall with a pencil along

the outline of the template. If you are not

sure that the chosen part of wall is free from

obstructions, you can start by making a

smaller hole at the center of the marked area

through which you can probe the inside of

the wall. Use a drywall saw and make the

rst cut at a 45° angle toward the center of

the hole so you can put the cut piece back

in if the location is unsuitable. If you nd no

obstructions, you can make the final cut

along the marked lines.

If you have already connected the RAM1

amplifier units to the system, select the

loudspeaker that has the same ID number

as the amplier it will be driven by.

Lift the loudspeaker into the hole lower

end rst and connect the loudspeaker cable

connectors!

Push the AIW26B loudspeaker into the

hole and turn the four Torx T25 screws

clockwise so that the mounting tabs rotate

outwards. Continue tightening the screws to

to 1.5 Nm (1.1 ft lb) and the drywall is rmly

clamped between the mounting tabs and the

enclosure ange. If necessary, a secondary

support line can be attached to the tab on

the top side of the enclosure.

Next place the grille on the enclosure. The

grille is held in place by magnets.
