THP525W/THP650W/THP650D INSTALLATION MANUAL ELAN HOME SYSTEMS

Mounting

There are two situations that can exist when mounting in-wall

speakers:

Pre-Construction - Installations that occur in new homes being built

and in remodel situations where walls and/or ceilings will be exposed.

Retro-Fit - Installation that involve existing homes with walls and

ceilings ﬁ nished.

While the end result of either type of installation is similar, the process

is quite different.

Pre-Construction

In a pre-construction installation, walls and ceilings are open with

no drywall installed. This is desirable and allows the installer much

greater access than in retro-ﬁ t applications. ELAN TheaterPoint

Rough-In Brackets are speciﬁ cally designed to work with these

speakers and should be used whenever possible to reserve a neat

hole in the drywall, ensuring proper placement of speakers and mak-

ing trim-out and ﬁ nal installation neat and organized. See the chart

on the next page for the correct rough-in bracket for the speaker be-

ing installed.

Referring to the ﬂ oor plan marked with component locations, install

all speaker rough-in brackets. Be sure that the bracket frame is

facing out for drywall cutting accuracy. All rough-in brackets must

be securely mounted to wall studs and cannot be installed after the

drywall is up!
