Speaker Installation

Removing and Installing the Grille

NOTE: We always recommend a professional be involved in the instal- lation of the IWTS SRs.

Installation of the IWTS SRs in New Construction with Optional Bracket

For new construction,we highly recommend that you use the optional IN-NC-14/30SR New Construction Bracket.

The lip on the New Construc- tion Bracket must face outwards into the room.Sheetrock is then installed up to the lip, leaving a perfectly-defined mounting hole for the speakers.

Use a level to get it straight; this can't be fixed later.

Installation of the IWTS-14 SR and 30 SR in Existing Construction

The IWTS SRs can be easily mounted in most any stan- dard wall material, from ½ to 1½ inches thick.The IWTS SR rotating wall clamps firmly fix it to the wall surface after the proper cutout has been made. An important precaution to take before mounting:

Keep the top and bottom of the actual mounting hole at least 1½ inches away from beams or studs to ensure that the clamps have adequate room to rotate. A crossbrace or other obstruction that’s too close will stop them from properly doing their job.

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.
