This can create a short circuit that can damage your electronics. Mount the baffle to the frame using the 6 screws provided. Do not over tighten the mounting screws. Step 12.

TM • sound. When the sound is deeper and more hollow sounding, you are between studs. When the sound is sharper and more flat sounding, you are close or over a stud. Identify studs by the position of electrical outlets or switches. There may be a stud directly to the left or right of these electrical fixture. This gives you a point of measurement since studs are either 24 or 16 inches on center in newer houses, 12 inches in older homes. Step 2.
TM TM of the speaker, use a piece of bat insulation at least 3 inches thick in the stud cavity. This insulation should not have a backing or if it does, the backing must be installed facing away from the speaker. The insulation should extend about 2 ft. on either side of the speaker opening. Do not install speakers in outside walls, stud cavities containing 120/240V appliances, within 18 inches of dimmers, security wiring and other control wiring.
TM TM stranded cable so the wires are tight. speaker wire tie-off. Step 10. Follow the instructions included with the volume control and amplifier. TIPS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION • If possible, run speaker wires after AC wiring is in place to avoid additional noise caused by close proximity of wiring. • Secure the speaker wires against a joist with insulated staples, being careful not to pierce the wire insulation. Allow slack for building material expansion.
TM TM tabs (see figure 2), such as the M&S Systems MS16X, for attachment to the speakers after the dry wall has been installed. Leave at least 18 inches additional cable for the connection during final speaker installation. Run the other end of the speaker cable to the audio source. NOTE: Make a drawing of each speaker location. This will assist you in locating the wires if they have been covered after the wall board has been installed. Step 3. This is the finish-out stage.
TM Speaker Installation for Existing Construction Ceiling Speakers For existing construction, the use of mounting rings can not occur. The following steps outline how to locate a section between two joists, mark the outer boundaries of the hole, drill a small hole in the center to verify the location and then cut the main hole. Step 1. Determine the location of the joists so the speaker can be centered approximately between them. There are several ways to go about this: • Use an electronic stud finder.
TM tweeter horn TM tweeter provides the highest directional response in this direction. See figure 5. If you require to disperse the sound in a 360degree pattern you must position the line in the tweeter in a horizontal position. See figure 6. The combination of switch settings allow you to boost and cut bass and treble +/-3dB. Adjust the speaker level to accommodate for room acoustics. FIGURE 5 crease position FIGURE 6 FIGURE 7 Step 7. Divide each adhesive bead strip in half.
TM touching each other. This can create a short circuit that can damage your electronics. Mount the baffle using the 6 screws provided. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS, the screws should on only be tight enough to secure the speaker. Step 6. After the speaker is mounted, adjustments to the swivel tweeter (small speaker) can be made by either directing the sound visually or by using a musical source to determine the best sound coverage for the listening area.
TM • Horizontal wire runs should be routed through holes drilled at equal heights in the studs. • Do not install the actual speaker until the wall board is in place. Until then leave several feet of wire secured to the back of the mounting ring. The excess wire can be removed during final installation. During the drywall installation, make sure the speaker cut-out hole does not extend farther than 1/4 inch from the inside of the mounting ring.
