Installation will require making straight, accurate cuts into the
wall/ceiling material without cutting into wall studs, ceiling joists,
plumbing, or electrical lines. If you lack the tools or skills to do this
properly, please contact a professional.
-
The edge of the acoustic panel is cut so the panel can be countersunk in
the wallboard while the front outer edge remains in front of the wallboard.
-
The mounting position must be at least 1 1/2" from any wall studs.
An electronic stud finder is helpful for this.
-
Make absolutely sure there are no electrical or communication wires,
plumbing or gas pipes inside the wall/ceiling near the mounting area.
-
Use the supplied cardboard template to pencil the cutouts onto the wall.
Be sure the sides are straight and true and at least 1 1/2 " from any
wall studs, ceiling joists or internal wall/ceiling bracing.
-
Before making your final cutout make a "test" hole
approximately 4" in diameter to insure that you will have adequate
clearance from studs or any wiring.
-
Recheck your measurements and carefully cut out the mounting holes as
accurately as possible.
-
Remove the
grill from the acoustic panel. (Optional painting of the acoustic panel and grill should be done before the
installation. Paint the grill and panel separately. The drive units must be
carefully masked off or removed prior to painting. Make sure that the paint
does not clog the holes in the grill.)
-
Connect your speaker wires to the input terminals on the speaker. Make
sure to connect positive (+ red) to positive and negative (- black) to
negative.
-
Look at the dog-ears on the back of the speaker and make sure that the
screws are loose enough to accommodate the thickness of the wallboard.
-
Insert the speaker into the hole, making sure that the mounting
dog-ears are folded in.
-
Use your screwdriver to tighten the screws on the front of the speaker.
This will turn the dog-ears out and then tighten them, pinching the wallboard
between the dog-ears and the speaker frame. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
-
Replace the grill to the speaker frame &
enjoy!
