Inst allation C onsider ations Recommended A mplifier Power For satisfactory performance, we recom- mend an amplifier with a power rating of ten to one hundred watts for the PR5; and ten to one hundred twenty-five watts for the PR6. Curiously, most speakers are not damaged by large amplifiers but by small amplifiers.
er, so you must connect the wire from the amplifier to the volume control and then from the volume control to the speaker. Speaker Wire Use 2-conductor speaker wire when con- necting PR speakers to your receiver or amplifier . For most applications, we rec- ommend you use 1 6 or 1 8 gauge stranded wire.

6 Speaker Placemen t Placement for Critical Listening If you like to imagine that the band or orchestra is playing in front of you as you listen to music, or you are very conscious of clarity, detail and the textures of the individ- ual instruments, you are a critical listener.
The Boundary Effect Corners can affect the bass response of the speaker powerfully! This is called the boundary effect. Y ou will emphasize par- ticular bass frequencies and cancel out other bass frequencies when you place speakers close to the wall/ceiling bound- ary or a corner wall boundary .
20 Oper ation Remo v al of Speaker and Grille Removing The Speaker If the grille is already installed, remove it by using a bent paper clip or the tip of a corkscrew and pulling it away from the frame.

Inst allation Fundamen t als Running the Speaker Wire in New Construction If you have doubts about whether you are capable of installing a Niles PR loudspeak- er in your walls, consult a Niles dealer or professional installer. They have special tools, techniques, and experience to make the impossible possible.
Speaker Phase Speaker wire has two conductors. One conductor is attached to the negative (-) terminals and one conductor is attached to the positive (+) terminals of both your speaker and your amplifier. Usually , the wire is marked for your convenience.
Installing the Speaker If the grille is already installed, remove it by using a bent paper clip or the tip of a corkscrew and pulling it away from the frame (See Figure 13) . 1 . Separate the speaker wire so that at least two inches of each conductor are free.
Try to line the holes up perfectly, because it makes pulling the wire much easier. A good technique is to snap a chalk line across the face of the studs or against the bottom of the ceiling joists. Then work backward so that you can always see the holes you have already drilled.
Identify where all of your electrical, phone, and TV wiring is likely to be and plan to route around it all. You can acci- dentally induce 60 Hz hum on your speakers if you run your speaker wire right beside electrical wire for more than a few feet. T ry to keep speaker wire running par- allel to power cables at least 3 feet away.
