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 AS8SW Speaker

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 AS8SW speakers can be mounted in the walls or in the ceil- ing, but are typically used in walls. 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 fi g. 1)

Existing Construction

In most modern buildings the wall studs are positioned on 16” centers, providing a space between the studs of approxi- mately 14 3/8”. The AS8SW requires a mounting hole 8 3/4” wide and 8 3/4” high. Additionally, you should allow an extra inch 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.

AS8SW

Use a stud fi nder to locate the vertical studs be- hind the wall surface. You should now check for obstructions like cross bracing above and below the desired speaker location.

After selection of the mounting location, mark the hole to be cut out. A template is provided in the speaker box. Locate and level the template, then mark with pencil on the wall surface. If you are unsure whether there are obstructions behind the wall surface where the speakers are to be mount- ed, cut a small hole in the center of your marked mounting location. Holding your drywall saw at a 45 degree angle (see Fig. 2) cut a square hole that you can use to fi nd any obstructions, should they exist.
