Q Acoustics E120 is an installed DAB, FM, Bluetooth and AUX input Hi-Fi system easily installed into

your room. It is particularly suited to kitchens, bathrooms* and bedrooms but could equally be used in

any other room in the house.

The following instructions assume that you are competent in general electrical installation skills. You

will need to mount a touch panel into a double gang back box and route cables from this box to the

speakers and mains. If you are not condent in doing this you should seek professional assistance from

a qualied electrician.

It is possible to connect TV sound or another device into the rear auxiliary line input using an additional

cable.

*The main E120 wall unit is IP54 rated. It should be located outside zone 2 of the electrical safety zones,

if in doubt you are advised to seek assistance from a qualied electrician.

Use the guidelines below to plan the positioning of the back boxes, speakers, and cabling. Dimensions

should be checked prior to installation to ensure the layout works correctly with the supplied lengths

of cable.

If more than 7m of speaker cable is required then a suitable alternative such as QED 16/2 can be

purchased and cut to length.

A basic E120 system with auxiliary optical digital input will have the rst x cable requirement as shown

below.

Cut holes for required back boxes and speakers. Run speaker and power cables as shown, leaving the

length of tails accessible for second x. Optional line input cable can be run at this point.

First ﬁx basic wiring

Notes:

1. Switched mains socket required next to the DC extension cable for the power supply to plug in.

2. Single gang back box can be used for the optical AUX input cable. The can be terminated using

an optical termination plate such as the Nexxia Digital Optical Module Insert.

3. The supplied antenna cable can be attached to a normal quality coax cable which then connects

to an external antenna. If an external antenna can not be tted then place the supplied internal

antenna as recommended in the Antenna alignment section.

The analogue 3.5mm stereo line output can be used to connect an external amplier or sub-woofer.

Note that analogue audio signals are prone to picking up interference and this line output should be

limited to 10m.

First ﬁx for line output

E120 can be tted into a bathroom environment, which is different to most other rooms in the home. The

nature of this wet environment is recognised by the respective standards authorities who test products

in terms of their suitability to be installed in such areas.

E120 compiles with IP54 (Ingress protection).

E120 system is dened as an ‘Extra Low Voltage Installation’, but the wiring needs to be installed in

accordance with ‘Part P’ of the Design and Installation of Electrical Installations. If in doubt, you are

advised to seek assistance from a qualied electrician.

Please refer to the diagram below, E120 should be installed in either zone 2 (light blue) or zone 3 (white).

Bathroom installation guide

ENGLISH EN

Reaching IP54:

E120 is supplied with two rubber gaskets of different thicknesses which should be stuck to the wall side

of the metal frame prior to screwing the frame to the back box. This will create a seal between the frame

and the wall and ensure better water protection. If the wall is at then the thinner 1mm gasket can be

used, for uneven walls (such as between tile joins) then the thicker 2.5mm gasket can be used.

For larger open plan areas, two pairs of speakers can be used to achieve an even distribution of sound.

A speaker wire (purchased separately) should be tted between the rst speaker and the second,

for both left and right as shown in the diagram. The speakers should be connected in series where

the negative (black) connector of the rst speaker is connected to the positive (red) connector of the

second. The negative (black) connector of the second speaker is then connected to the negative

(black) cable to the E120 unit using a connector block, as shown in the diagram. This series method

of connecting two speakers will ensure a high quality and reliable sound performance of the speakers.

Wiring for two pairs of speakers

ENGLISH EN

Second ﬁx

Configurable Switches:

There are two small switches mounted on the lower PCB that adjust the audio mode

outputs. After making a switch position change you will need to power down the

E120.

SWITCH 1 OFF – Line output is variable, adjusts with amplier volume.

SWITCH 1 ON – Line output is xed at 100%

SWIITCH 2 OFF – Amplier speaker outputs are in stereo mode with separate left

and right channels.

SWITCH 2 ON – Amplier speaker outputs are in mono mode with both left and right

channels combined on both speaker outputs.

Antenna alignment:

An external DAB antenna is recommended, if that is not possible then E120 is supplied with a exible

indoor antenna which should be aligned vertically as shown below.

Connect cable tails to wall panel, speaker and power supply. Fix items in place using instructions

supplied with the speakers to ensure correct speaker installation.

Notes:

1. Blanking plate required to cover break out box, requires a single hole to exit DC extension cable.

2. Optional AUX input / TV sound requires a 25 x 50mm TOSLINK optical socket module (if using

optical cable), such as the ‘Nexxia Digital Optical Module Insert’ which is a 25x50mm slot in

module.

Removing the E120 wall panel

To remove the wall panel once it has been ‘clicked’ into the mounting frame follow these steps:

1. Remove the small rubber grommets from each of the small holes around the outer frame, keep

safe.

2. Use the small removal tool provided, or a similar tool 1.4mm diameter to insert into the hole, add

a little pressure into the frame whilst gently pulling the corresponding corner of the wall unit away

from the wall.

3. When the unit comes away slightly, repeat the process for the next hole until all four have been

released.

4. The E120 wall unit can now be removed away from the mounting frame and off the wall.
