6 Russound In-wall LCR Loudspeaker Installation Manual
Pre-wire or Pre-construction
Locate all obstructions (AC wiring, plumbing, duct work, and studs). Route
the speaker wire to the speaker location avoiding all obstacles.
Russound oers Speaker Rough-In Brackets that can be fastened to the
adjacent studs. Use a small level to make sure the bracket is straight. Once
the dry wall is installed, the opening is cut out. There are holes molded into
the bracket for speaker wire tie-o to keep the wire from being lost during
construction.
Make sure the speaker cutout (hole) doesn't extend further than ¼" (0.6 cm)
from the inside of the mounting bracket.
Retrot Installation
Locate existing pipes, duct work, and AC wiring before cutting any holes in
the walls.
Center the cardboard template between adjacent joists, avoiding all wiring, 1.
pipes, duct work, and lightly mark the corners with a pencil. Then use a
keyhole/drywall saw or motorized spiral-cut tool to make the opening.
Score the outline of the template with a utility knife to prevent chipping. 2.
If dealing with lath and plaster or thick paneling, drill 1" (2.5 cm) holes in
several places around the pencil outline. Use a ne-toothed keyhole saw
or hacksaw blade with slow strokes to saw through and remove the inner
surface.
