Instruction Manual

Mounting the IWTS Speakers

NOTE: We always recommend a professional be involved in the installation of IWTS speakers.

The IWTS speaker can be easily mounted in most any standard wall mate- rial,from ½ to 1½ inches thick.Its rotating wall clamps (sometimes called "dog legs") firmly fix it to the wall surface after the proper cutout has been made. Here are some important precautions to take before mounting:

Keep the sides of the actual mounting hole at least ½ inch away from beams or studs to ensure that the clamps have adequate room to rotate. A stud or other obstruction that’s too close will stop them from properly doing their job.

Removing and Installing the Grille

Remove the grille from the speaker using an awl or the point of a drywall screw in a grille opening near one of the grille corners.Slowly pry the grille out, being careful not to damage the speaker’s frame or its finish.

To re-install the grille later,press it carefully into the appropriate opening in the frame assembly. Since it’s designed to fit snugly, please take your time and use care when installing the grille.

WARNING: Exercise extreme care before making any wall cuts to ensure that you will not cut through any wires, pipes, or other items that may be in the wall. You may sometimes, but not always, be able to determine the approximate location of wires and pipes by looking at the locations of nearby outlets and plumbing. But their location or absence is never an assurance that there is not something within the

wall cavity.
