Speaker Mounting

The HD series speakers may be mounted without any specialized brackets or back boxes. The enclosed design of the speakers makes them insensitive to the environment behind the wall, so no insulation or specific acoustic treatment is required. Extruded aluminum clamp rails along each side of the enclosure provide secure mounting directly to the wall material and are suited to both new and old construction.

Before cutting into the wall, you must locate the wall studs using either a stud finder or by locating the screws in new construction. Locate the center of each stud and locate your speaker cutout so the nearest edge of is at least 1-3/4” away from the stud center. Installing the MC650-iw horizontally as a center- channel speaker will require cutting through at least one wall stud. The MC630-iw may be mounted without cutting through any studs if it is carefully located. When cutting a stud cannot be avoided, be certain to keep the cut stud between the clamp rail grips on the speaker. This dimension is 10.16 inches on the MC630-iw and 9.13 inches on the MC650-iw. We recommend locating the TV after you have determined the speaker location so that the TV and center- channel speaker share the same centerline.

Once you have determined the area occupied by the wall studs, remove the center section of the template/paint mask. Tape the outer ring of the template to the wall where you want your cut to be and trace around the inside perimeter. Make your cut carefully along this line and remove the center.

•Remember to keep the edge of the cutout adjacent to the nearest stud at least 1-3/4” away from the center of the stud when mounting the speakers vertically.
