Replacing the rectangular speaker frame with the round frame

Wear clothing appropriate for the job, and consider using a drop cloth or other material to protect the area from debris. How and where you install the speakers will determine your need for optional equipment.

Optional items:

A wire snake for running speaker cord behind wallboard

A sturdy stool or ladder for installing speakers above your head

Gloves and protection for your mouth, nose, and eyes for working with insulation

Consider which shape you prefer for your speakers

The design of your new Virtually Invisible® 191 speakers makes them well-suited to either wall or ceiling installation. You also have a choice of a rectangular or round speaker face – the part that is visible when the speaker is installed. Consider which shape will work best in the loca- tion you choose for the speakers.

If you prefer the round shape, it is easy to remove the rectangular frames and replace them with the round frames provided in the carton. You can do it now or wait until you know for sure where each speaker will fit. However, be sure to make that change before you insert either speaker into the wall or ceiling.

Note: The lip of the speaker frame prevents the speaker from slipping behind the wall and out of reach. Do not remove the frame while the speaker is in the wall.

If you choose the round frames, use the round template provided in the carton. A round paint shield is also supplied, in case you decide to paint the speaker.

Considering your wall type and the approach it requires

For working in a pre-wired room of finished construction with 2 x 4 stud walls covered with wallboard, refer to “Steps to Installing,” beginning on page 15. These instructions cover installation of the speakers, with either a rectangular or round grille, in a wall or ceiling.

If your installation is different, use the information below as it applies.
