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 AS5c 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 place your speakers. The AS5c speakers can be mounted in the walls or in the ceiling, 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 Fig. 1) If the room’s dimensions or furniture placement prevent adhering to this requirement, the tweeters in the AS5c speakers can be swiveled to aim them at the desired listening position.

New Construction

If you are installing your speakers in new construction before the finished walls go up, Phoenix Gold offers a Pre-Construction Bracket, part NCBC5 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 AS5c speakers.

Existing Construction

In most modern buildings the ceiling joists are positioned on 16” centers, providing a space between the joists of approximately 143/8”. The AS5c requires a mounting hole 61/2” in diameter. Additionally, 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.
