PREPARING FOR

INSTALLATION

If you are installing the LSC-5/LSC-5R into an existing ceiling, take time to consider any possible obstructions which may be hidden inside the ceiling: ceiling joists, electrical wiring, telephone wiring, plumbing, AC or heating conduit and ductwork.

Determine the best mounting locations based on the room layout. Before cutting any holes, make sure the area behind both speakers is clear for installation. Speakers provide the best coverage, when centered in the room. Line up the speakers with a permanently mounted ceiling fixture such as can lights, or a light fixture.

If you are installing the speakers into a new ceiling follow the above recommendations and install a set of JobSite NCB-5 Ceiling Brackets, prior to drywall installation.

Run speaker wire from each location to the amplifier location. Label the speakers wires at the amplifier end, so you know which wire goes to each speaker.

TOOLS REQUIRED

■Stud Locator (for existing construction)

■Drywall saw (for existing construction)

■Pencil (for existing construction)

■Cordless screwdriver with No2 Philips bit

■Wire stripper

■Wire labels

INSTALLATION

Installation Existing

Construction:

1.Use a stud locator to identify the location of the ceiling joists on each side of the proposed loudspeaker mounting location.

2.Mark ceiling joists’ edges, using masking tape.

3.Repeat this process for the other loudspeaker locations.

4.You may have to adjust the loudspeaker mounting locations based on how the ceiling joists line up with the proposed speaker mounting locations.

5.Check for clearance using the following method:

a.Drill a 1/4” pilot hole in the center of the intended speaker location.

b.Cut a foot-long piece of coat hanger.

c.Bend the wire, creating a right angle, leaving 4-1/4” at one end.

d.Poke the “L-shaped” wire into the pilot hole and turn it in a complete circle, checking for obstructions.

e.Push it up into the ceiling cavity to make sure you have approximately 4” of depth.

f.If the coat hanger’s movement is obstructed by anything, fill the hole(s) with spackle and try another location.

6.Locate the hole template and remove the inside portion of it. The inside portion can be used as a paint mask, if you are painting the frame of the loudspeaker.

7.Use a pencil and hole template to trace the hole outline in the desired location on the ceiling.

8.Use a drywall saw to cut along the penciled line.
