Please read this Installation Manual to ensure the proper installation and performance of your AS7c speaker.

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 Bubble or Laser Level

6)A Tape Measure

7)A Stud Finder (recommended)

8)Your AS7c speaker

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 place your speakers. The AS7c speaker can be mounted in the walls or in the ceiling, but are typically used in ceilings. The speaker should be located so that it provides even coverage at your listening position. Caution should be taken not to place the speaker less than 1 foot from a boundary surface, such as a wall or corner to prevent uneven reflections of the audio signal. (See Fig. 1)

New Construction

If you are installing your speaker in new construction before the finished walls go up, Phoenix Gold offers a New Construction Bracket, part NCBC6 that provides a stable frame that can be fastened to the wall studs or ceiling joists on 16” or 24” centers. This allows the sheetrock or other surface covering to be installed and cleanly leave the opening for the AS7c speaker.

Existing Construction

In most modern buildings the ceiling joists are positioned on 16” centers, providing a space between the joists of approximately 14 3/8”. The AS7c speaker requires a mounting hole 7 3/4“ in diameter. Also, you should allow an extra 3/4” clearance in all directions behind the ceiling surface to allow room for the doglegs that retain the frame to the ceiling surface 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.
