Insulating the Ceiling Cavity

You can also reduce sound transmission to adjacent rooms and improve speaker performance by inserting a sheet of unfaced fiberglass insulation over the back of the speaker. To reduce mechanical noise produced by unsupported drywall, install fiberglass insulation in the ceiling bays adjacent to the speaker location.

Sonafill®

Sonafill (part #91928) is a retrofittable acoustical treatment system consisting of two pillows and four tiles

that virtually eliminates noises produced by

resonating drywall. The tiles have

pressure-sensitive adhesive and are installed

on the back of the drywall

on either side

of the speaker between the

ceiling joists; the pillows are then

stuffed in place behind the tiles. The system

dramatically improves midbass

sound quality

and reduces sound transmis-

sion into adjacent rooms.

 

 

 

 

INSTALLING THE SPEAKERS

Before Installation: New Construction

For installations in new construction, Sonance recommends using a Symphony FlexBracket (part #92337) to reserve a location for the speaker. The FlexBracket has perforated wings that can be positioned at any angle around the bracket, and is nailed or screwed to the studs. This serves as a guide for the drywaller so that the speaker hole will be in the desired location once the drywall is installed.

Before Installation: Retrofit

1. Determine the location for the speaker (see Speaker Placement on page 4).

2.Perform an obstruction survey to be certain that there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts or air returns in the ceiling cavity that will interfere with the speaker.

3. The cutout for all ThinLine speakers is 8 5/32” (207mm). There also must be at least 3 1/32” (77mm) depth within the ceiling cavity.

4. Position the included cutout template where the speaker is to be located and pencil an outline on the ceiling.

•If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole in the center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire into the hole to feel-around for possible obstructions.

5. Cut the mounting hole using a drywall saw, and run the speaker wires from the mounting hole to the amplifier location.

• Consult local building codes before running speaker wires through walls.

Installation

Sonance ThinLine speakers feature exclusive FastMount® tabs and an integral RotoLock® mounting system for quick mounting directly into existing ceilings and walls.

WARNING: The edges of FastMount tabs are very sharp. Use caution when handling the speaker.

1.Remove the paint plug from the speaker.

2.Run speaker wire from the amplifier location to each speaker.

3.Strip ¼” – ½” of insulation from each speaker lead. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire with solder to ensure that there are no stray strands.
