M&S Systems 8-Ohm owner manual Speaker Installation For New Construction

•Use a piece of bat insulation at least 3” thick over

the back of the speaker. This insulation should not have a backing or if it does, the backing must be in- stalled facing away from the speaker.

•Use a fine mesh to cover the back of the speaker to

protect against bulk type insulation materials. This will not work with insulation containing fine pow-

ders.

Do not install speakers in stud cavities containing 120/240V appliances, within 18 inches of dimmer light fixtures, security wiring and other control wiring.

SPEAKER INSTALLATION FOR

NEW CONSTRUCTION

Step 1. After you have determine the speaker locations using the guidelines above, secure a 16 gauge 2 conductor cable, such as the M&S Systems MS16X, (DO NOT USE STAPLES) for attachment to the speakers after the dry wall has been installed. NOTE: On the model S40C2, you will need to run 2-2 conductor cables to the speaker location for connecting the left and right signals to pro- duce a monaural sound. Leave at least 18 inches addi- tional cable for the connection during final speaker instal- lation. Run the other end of the speaker cables to the speaker volume control location and secure in a single gang box along with a 4 conductor 16 gauge cable, such as the M&S Systems MS164X, that will connect to the amplifier. NOTE: Make a drawing of each speaker location. This will assist you in locating the wires that have been covered after the sheet rock has been installed.
