Preparing the Location

It is advisable to plan all aspects of installation in advance of work beginning, preferably with the house/flat building schematics if available. Great care should be taken to ensure that all building regulations are followed. If in doubt consult an expert.

When placing the SS10 speakers, thought should be given to positions which give the best desired sound coverage throughout a room, while not interfering with existing or planned light fittings or joists. Also, locate speakers taking into account location of furnishings for optimal stereo reproduction.

2.Use the template to mark the position for the mounting hole at the selected location.

Before cutting ceiling speaker holes, it is suggested that the area is tested for clearance by making an L-shaped probe from strong wire (see illustration below), drilling a small hole in the target area, inserting the probe and slowly turning. Any obstructions will be immediately obvious, and the target area can be moved to a more suitable position.
