System 10 InWall Speakers

Mounting Issues System 10 LCR

We always recommend a professional be involved in the installation of InWall Theater System speakers, if at all possible.

The System 10 LCR speaker can be easily mounted in most any standard wall material, from 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches (12 to 38 mm) thick. Its rotating wall clamps 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 1 inch (25 mm) away from beams or studs. The clamps require 3/4 of an inch (19 mm) to rotate, and a stud or other obstruction that’s too close will stop them from properly doing their job.

Wall cavity size will effect the bass and midrange performance of any in-wall speaker. The System 10 LCR is designed to play optimally in a 0.5 to 1.25 cubic foot space (864 to 2160 cu. inches, measured before wall insulation is inserted). Cubic dimensions can be determined by multiplying the length x width x height of the cavity. A larger cavity won’t hurt, but a smaller one will definitely impact the bass and midrange response of the system.

Some of the sound from the speaker will transmit to the space on the other side of the wall cavity. If this is a major concern, you can build a box within the wall that provides the required cubic volume. The larger the volume, the better the bass response will be, up to 1.25 cubic feet. Beyond this size there will be no effective performance gain. Also please note that there is very little room behind the drivers in a standard “2 x 4” wall cavity (1/4 inch, 6 mm), so the back of any enclosure box must be made from relatively thin materials, yet it should not physically contact the back wall. Typically then, the back wall material will be roughly 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3 to 6 mm) thick.

Insulate the speaker cavity with fiberglass wool, observing all the relevant precautions and instructions from the insulation manufacturer. If you have built a back box, you can use common fiberfill (available at craft stores as pillow stuffing), or fiberglass in the enclosure. Be sure to push the insulation back from the drivers to ensure that it doesn’t get into the moving cone area.

Ceiling Mounting

It is especially important when mounting the speaker in a ceiling that you cover the back of the system with a fiberglass window screening (available at any home center or hardware store) to keep insulation and other foreign matter out of the assembly. You also should install safety wires from the rear of the assembly to a secure mounting place, like adjacent beams or the floor above, for added security. Should you be installing System 10 speakers in a suspended ceiling, it is imperative to install safety wires from the speaker to the support structure above, to ensure security under all conditions.

Installation of System 10 LCR in New Construction

Atlantic Technology offers an optional Rough-in Frame Kit to ease installation in new construction. Instructions for its use are included with this kit. The kit’s model nomenclature is IN-NC-10

Installation of System 10 LCR in Existing Construction

Remove 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. Install the grille by pressing 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.

Cutting the Opening

After determining the best location for the speaker as outlined above, use the enclosed template to cut the proper size hole (15 13/16” x 7”, 402 x 178 mm). 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.

SYSTEM10LCR, SYSTEM10SRDIPOLESURROUND specifications

Atlantic Technology offers innovative audio solutions designed to enhance your home theater experience, and two of their standout products are the SYSTEM10SRDIPOLESURROUND and SYSTEM10LCR speakers. These models exemplify cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design, catering to audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

The SYSTEM10SRDIPOLESURROUND speaker is engineered to create an immersive sound environment using its unique dipole configuration. This design allows the speaker to deliver sound from two sides, dispersing sound waves throughout the listening area, which creates a more enveloping experience and minimizes reflection from walls. The dipole design is especially effective in rear surround channels, producing a more cinematic feel by blending sound seamlessly into the background. The key feature of the SYSTEM10SRDIPOLESURROUND is its adjustable switching capability, allowing users to toggle between dipole and monopole operation, depending on their listening preferences and room acoustics.

Complementing the surround experience is the SYSTEM10LCR, a versatile speaker designed for left, center, and right channel operations. Featuring a sleek, low-profile design, the SYSTEM10LCR is not only sophisticated in sound but also complements any home decor. This speaker effectively utilizes high-quality drivers and advanced crossover technology to ensure clarity and precision across the frequency spectrum. With a robust cabinet construction, the SYSTEM10LCR minimizes cabinet resonance, leading to cleaner sound reproduction.

One of the critical characteristics of both the SYSTEM10SRDIPOLESURROUND and SYSTEM10LCR speakers is their compatibility with high-resolution audio formats. They are designed to handle a wide dynamic range, resulting in the ability to reproduce subtle nuances in music and movie soundtracks. The durable build quality ensures longevity, while the aesthetic appeal accommodates various room environments.

In conclusion, Atlantic Technology's SYSTEM10SRDIPOLESURROUND and SYSTEM10LCR speakers represent a marriage of innovative technology and elegant design. Their dipole surround capabilities and versatile LCR function make them an ideal choice for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience, whether for film, music, or gaming. With these speakers, Atlantic Technology continues to set a standard in the home entertainment market, ensuring users receive an unparalleled auditory journey.
