1. WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the ampli er is switched OFF prior to
connecting or disconnecting any cables.
2. The procedure below describes the installation of the speaker into a typical stud ceiling or wall with
drywall/plasterboard.
3. Locate a suitable mounting position for the speaker, using a stud- nder.
WARNING: Make sure that there are no power lines, other cables, or plumbing such as water, sewer, gas lines in
the chosen cutout location. Also make sure that the location is far enough from the closest wall stud so that the
clamping mechanism can operate without interference.
4. Use the supplied cutout template as a guide, and cut out a circular hole in the drywall/plasterboard. Remove any
debris from the hole. Use a suitable adhesive in the local area inside the hole to seal the drywall to the studs and
joists, to prevent ceiling buzzing.
5. Run the speaker wire from your ampli er to this location, leaving enough slack to allow for the connection.
