Preparing for your Installation

Gather the necessary tools for you 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 AS6s speakers

Placement

Plan your speaker placement carefully. Make certain that electrical, plumbing and any other services will not interfere within the walls where you plan to place your speakers. The AS6s speakers can be mounted in the walls or in the ceiling, but are typically used in walls. The speakers should be located so that they provide even coverage at you 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 AS6s speakers can be swiveled to aim them at the desired listening position. Speaker height should be maintained at ear level or just above. Again, the tweeters may be aimed into the listening area.

New Construction

If you are installing your speakers in new construction before the finished walls go up, AudioSource offers a New Construction Bracket, part NCBI6 that provides a stable frame that can be fastened to the wall studs on 16” or 24” centers. This allows the sheetrock or other wall covering to be installed and cleanly leave the opening for the AS6s speakers.

Existing Construction

In most modern buildings the wall studs are positioned on 16” centers, providing a space between the studs of approximately 14 3/8”. The AS6s requires a mounting hole 7 5/16” wide and 10 11/16” high. Additionally, you should allow an extra 3/4” in all directions behind the wall surface to allow room for the doglegs that retain the frame to the wall surface to swing into position.

Use a stud finder to locate the vertical studs behind the wall surface. Also, you should now check for obstructions like cross bracing above and below the desired speaker location.
