INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

We recommend using the following tools and material to install your Niles CM loudspeaker:

•Cordless drill with 1/4 – and 1/2-inch drill bits and a 1-inch paddle drill bit (for drilling through studs)

•Stiff wire, ﬁsh tape or glow rods for routing cables

•Rubber gloves and protective eyewear

•Keyhole or drywall saw

•Phillips screwdriver set

•Wire stripper

•Stud ﬁnder

•Cable ties

•Pencil

Before starting the installation, please observe the following precautions:

•Turn off all system power before making any connections

•Always wear protective eyewear when using tools

•Make sure hands are clean before installation

•Wear gloves when working with ﬁberglass insulation

RUNNING WIRES IN WALLS OR CEILINGS

When running loudspeaker wire inside walls or ceilings, use special jacketed cable (a minimum of 18 to 16-gauge two-conductor CL-2 or CL-3 rated loudspeaker wire) to protect the wire and for ﬁre prevention. In some areas, conduit is also required. For a trouble-free installation, low-voltage wire such as loudspeaker wire must be run in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any applicable provisions of the local building code. If you are unsure of the correct installation techniques, wire jacket, or type of conduit to use, consult a professional audio/video installer, building contractor, or the local building and inspection department.

SELECTING THE LOCATION FOR YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS

The CM600 series loudspeakers are designed to be installed in any standard ceiling. There are two considerations for placing the loudspeaker; ease of running the cable to the loudspeaker and coverage of the loudspeaker. The best stereo effect will be achieved if both the loudspeakers are at equal distance from the listener and closer together than the listener is from the loudspeakers. Avoid installing the loudspeakers near corners to prevent a “boomy” or diffracted sound. The CM600 series loudspeakers will cover an area of a circle with a 16-foot diameter when mounted at an 8-foot height. (See Figure 1)

EXISTING CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU CUT INTO ANY WALL, REVIEW THE PRIOR SECTION ON LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT WHEN SELECTING THE LOCATION FOR YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS.

1.When determining the location of the loudspeaker cutout, keep in mind that the mounting dogs will extend 3/4” beyond the cutout. Make sure that you do not place the edge of the cutout directly next to a ceiling joist. Locate the joists using a stud sensor or by hand knocking. Use the supplied cutout template (remove the largest perforated circle and use cardboard square with hole as the template) to determine how large of a hole you will need to cut. These templates are packed with your loudspeakers between the styrofoam packing and the ends of the box.

2.Once you have determined a possible position for the cutout, drill a 1/8” pilot hole just barely through the ceiling (1/2” to 5/8” deep in most homes) in the center of your proposed loudspeaker location.

BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THROUGH EXISTING WIRES, PIPES, OR STRUCTURE. IF YOU FEEL ANY EXTRA RESISTANCE AS YOU ARE DRILLING, STOP.
