1.Once you’ve selected the desired location for the speaker, begin by installing the mounting bracket between adjacent ceiling joists. First attach the mounting wings to the bracket by inserting them into the locking plastic tabs in the side of
the bracket (fig.1). 2. The wings feature progressively elongated sections (1”, 1”, 2”, 2”, 2”, 3”, 3”) with screw holes spaced in

4.During the drywall phase, cut a hole
drywall surrounds the protruding lip of the mounting bracket. Once installed, the bezel outer frame will extrude out about 1/2 inch beyond the perimeter of the cutout to hide minor imperfections in the cutout (fig.3).
5.After the drywall is complete, connect the speaker cable to the spring clips

6.The bezel (with driver) attaches to the bracket via four plastic mounting clamps on the back of the bezel that swivel to “sandwich” the drywall between the bezel frame and the clamps (fig.4). First rotate the mounting clamps counterclockwise so that the body of the bezel can slide through the mounting bracket. Exercise caution not to damage the driver.
7.Holding the bezel in one hand, rotate the mounting clamps via the four

8. If the bezel frame and grille are to be painted in the ceiling, install the paint shield to protect the dri- fig.6 ver from overspray (see “Painting”). Once painting is complete, remove the paint shield and set it
aside for use in Step #9. 9a.
trol sound radiation (fig.6). There are two circular sections in the center of the paint shield that serve as templates for attaching them. Punch out the larger circle, and the smaller circle from within it. Place
the paint shield (minus the circular sections) on the inside of the metal grille and attach the larger absorptive pad onto the grille through the circular cutout. Then attach the smaller absorptive pad on
top of the larger pad, using the larger cutout circle as a template. When attached correctly, the two pads resemble a stepped cone.
