Aiming the Tweeter
A tweeter aimed toward your listening position improves imaging and detail. To aim the tweeter, rst install the speaker in the
desired location. Rotate the tweeter so that the arrow on the tweeter faceplate is pointing in the direction you wish to aim the tweeter
[Figure 5] then gently push the tweeter in that direction [Figure 6]. When using DT Series speakers as fronts in a home theater setup
or as stereo speakers in a distributed audio system, aim the tweeter toward the main listening position. As rear/surround speakers
installed in walls or ceilings, aim the tweeter toward the nearest reecting surface (an adjacent wall or ceiling) for a more diffuse
sound eld (For more direct sound, aim the tweeters at your listening position).
Optional Fire-Rated Enclosures
Denitive DT Series speakers have been designed to meet UL 1480 and 2043 standards when used with the appropriate optional
Denitive re-rated enclosures. All plastic parts used in the speakers are V0 ame rated as per UL 94. While these enclosures are
necessary in most countries for commercial and multi-family installations, residential customers may want to use them for added safety
and/or to reduce the sound from “leaking” into adjacent rooms.
Placement Options
Denitive Technology DT Series Loudspeakers give you nearly endless placement options. But remember that placement choice for
your in-wall speakers bears careful consideration, as installation requires that you cut a hole in your wall or ceiling! It’s best to keep
the speakers at least 2 feet (60 cm) from side walls [Figure 1]. When using DT Series models in home theater applications, follow
the guidelines [illustrated in Figures 2, 3 and 4]. Denitive DT Series Loudspeakers have aimable tweeters that allow you to focus
their sound toward or away from your listening area, depending on the application. Whenever possible take advantage of attic
and crawl spaces, as it’s much easier to run cables through them than through walls.
