of the speaker, use a piece of bat insulation at least 3 inches thick in the stud cavity. This insulation should not have a backing or if it does, the backing must be installed facing away from the speaker. The insulation should extend about 2 ft. on either side of the speaker opening.

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

Speaker Installation for New Construction

Ceiling Speakers

Step 1. Speaker mounting rings are used in the pre-construction phase of speaker installation during construction of new homes and additions. WaveGuide mounting rings are designed to provide drywall installers the correct cut-out

	pattern	for the
	speakers.		The
	mounting		rings
	have “flaps” that
	are	nailed/
	s c r e w e d /
	stapled onto the
	joist. See figure

	installed,		the

the speaker.

When installing the mounting ring, note that there are holes molded into the mounting ring for

If you require to disperse the sound in a 360- degree pattern you must position the line in the tweeter in a horizontal position. See figure 5 on page 10.

The combination of switch settings allow you to boost and cut bass and treble +/-3dB. Adjust the speaker level to accommodate for room acoustics. See figure 6 on page 10.

Step 13. Divide each adhesive bead strip in half. (Adhesive bead strips are in the clear self-closing bag). Place strips on the edge of the grille as shown in figure 7 on page 10. Reinstall the grille on the speaker.

Step 14. Adhere the WaveGuide logo to the grille with the pressure sensitive tape.

Repeat steps for the second speaker.

In-wall Speakers

For existing construction, the use of rough-in rings can not occur. The following steps outline how to locate a section between two wall studs, mark the outer boundaries of the hole, drill a small hole in the center to verify the location and then cut the main hole.

Step 1. Determine the location of the wall studs so the speaker can be centered approximately between them. There are several ways to go about this:

•Use an electronic stud finder. Many stud finders can also indicate the location of live AC wiring.

•Tap on the wall and listen to the resulting
