Preparing for your Installation

Gather the necessary tools for your installation.

You will need the following tools:

1)A Keyhole or Drywall Saw

2)A Phillips Screwdriver

3)Masking Tape

4)A Pencil

5)A Tape Measure

6)A Stud Finder (recommended)

7)Your AC Series speakers

Placement

Plan your speaker placement carefully. Make certain that electrical, plumbing and any other services will not interfere within the ceiling where you plan to install your speakers. The AC Series speakers can be mounted in walls, but are typically used in ceilings. The speakers should be located so that they provide even coverage at your listening position. The distance between the speakers should not be greater than the distance from the speakers to the listening position (See Figure 1).

Existing Construction

In most modern buildings ceiling joists are positioned on 16” centers, providing a space between the joists of approximately 14 3/8”. The specifications chart shows the appropriate cut out sizes (p. 4). Additionally, you should allow an extra 3/4” in all directions behind the ceiling surface to allow room for the screw clamps that mount the speaker to the ceiling to swing into position.

Use a stud finder to locate the joists behind the ceiling surface. Also, you should now check for obstructions like cross bracing in front of and behind the desired speaker location.
