SS3 Shadow Sound Micro Speakers

User Manual

Thank you for purchasing our Dayton Audio Shadow Sound Micro Speakers. Please take a few minutes

to read the following information to insure proper installation and performance of the micro speaker.

Introduction:

The Shadow Sound Micro Speakers provide beautiful rich sound while being nearly undetectable to the

eye. The micro design is easy to conceal and are aesthetically pleasing to create a seamless sound

environment. Don’t let the small size fool you! They utilize a specially designed 3" driver that features a

powerful neodymium magnet and a ¾" Kapton voice coil for high power handling. The “Big” sound that

is produced will amaze you! Shadow Sound Micro Speakers are available in both round and square for

both ceiling and in-wall applications. All the hardware is included except wire and double gang (or round

ceiling) electrical boxes to easily install in new construction or existing homes. To achieve best results we

recommend using the micro speakers along with a high quality subwoofer system.

System Speciﬁcations: •Frequency response: 150-18,000 Hz •SPL: 88dB 1W/1m •Power handling:

15 watts RMS/35 watts max. •Impedance: 8 ohms •Micro Speaker dimensions: (Square): 5" Sq. x

1-3/4" D (Round): 5-1/2" Dia. x 1-5/8" D •Speaker weight: 2 lbs. Note: For higher power handling we

recommend using a high pass crossover at 150 Hz@ 6 dB per octave.

Pre-Construction “New Work”:

This is the best (and easiest) time to install the micro speakers. Follow these simple instructions:

1. Determine the desired location in the room. Using a hammer mount the box to a wall stud at elec-

trical outlet height (see Fig.1) Make sure that the box protrudes out from the stud around 1/2" so it

will be ﬂush with the drywall surface.

2. Run 18AWG, 2 conductor wire from speaker location to the location of the audio system. For

easier speaker connections, be sure to leave extra wire at both ends.

3. Only after the wall is ﬁnished and painted, should you attempt to install the micro speaker. To pre-

vent damage, never install the micro speakers while the house is under construction.

4. Make electrical connections (see below). Using wire cutter / strippers, separate the two conduc-

tors and remove about 1/2” of insulation from each wire. Twist the strands of wire tightly before

inserting them into the crimp connectors. When making connections, it is very important to

observe proper polarity.

5. Install the micro speaker using a hand held straight blade screwdriver. Be careful not to crack the

grill by over tightening the screws.

INSTALLING SPEAKERS

The Shadow Sound micro speakers use standard double gang electrical boxes or round ceiling boxes

which are available at most hardware stores. Although they will work with most brands, we recom-

mend using Carlon brand boxes. Pre-construction (new work) and existing construction (old work)

boxes are available depending on your application. Note: Shadow Sound micro speakers should

be mounted in a box and are NOT compatible with “mud ring” style mounting hardware.

Existing Construction “Old Work”:

Before cutting a hole for the micro speaker, make certain there are no obstructions in the wall. A

stud / wire ﬁnder is a very useful tool in determining this.

1. After you have found a suitable location, use the plastic “old work” box as a template and lightly

trace on the wall the cutout opening (approximately 3-3/4" x 3-3/4"). Make sure the marked cutout

area is square with the wall so when the speaker is installed it will be straight up and down.

2. If the wall is made of drywall, simply cut the marked area with a utility knife. If the wall is made of

plaster, you will need to drill holes at the four corners of the marked cutout area and use a drywall

or keyhole type saw to remove the lapboard and plaster.

3. Run 18AWG, 2 conductor wire from each speaker location to the location of the audio system.

For easier speaker connections, be sure to leave extra wire at both ends. Drill a wire hole up from

the basement or crawl space area into the interior wall cavity directly below the speaker location.

If this is not possible you will need to feed the wire down from the attic. Then simply feed the wire

up though the hole and out the cutout opening in the wall.

4. Install the double gang box into the wall cutout as per the manufactures’ instructions (see Fig.2).

Feed the wire through the opening at the back of the box.

5. Make electrical connections (see Fig.3). Using wire strippers, separate the two conductors and

remove about 1/2" of insulation from each wire. Twist the strands of wire tightly before inserting

them into the crimp connectors. When making connections, it is very important to observe

proper polarity.

6. Install the satellite speaker using a hand held straight blade screwdriver. Be careful not to crack

the grill by over tightening the screws.

RUNNING WIRE / MAKING CONNECTIONS

The wire between each Shadow Sound micro speaker and the home receiver or distribution panel

should be at least an 18 AWG 2 conductor cable for a 50’ run. When making connections, it is very

important to observe proper polarity. Make certain you connect the positive “+” lead to the

black wire with the white stripe and the negative “-“lead to the solid black wire.

Note: For higher power handling we recommend using a high pass crossover at 150 Hz@ 6 dB

per octave.
