1.Begin by installing the mounting bracket between adjacent studs. The SuperOne Ci performs best in the vertical orientation. Be sure to mount the bracket in the appropriate direction so that the tweeter is at the top. Attach the mounting wings to the bracket by inserting them into the locking plastic tabs in the side of the bracket (fig.2).

2.Select the desired location for the speaker, using a level to ensure that it is precisely positioned. The wings feature progressively elongated sections (1”, 1”, 2”, 2”, 2”, 3”, 3”) with screw holes spaced in one-inch increments. Attach the wings to the studs with the

5x 50mm flathead screws. For maximum stability, use two screws for each wing. Break off the extra portion of the wing by snapping it at one of the pre-molded “break” lines (fig.3).

3.Complete the pre-wiring before the drywall goes up (see “Tech Tips: Pre-Wiring for New Construction”). Leave an extra few feet of speaker cable, and secure it to the cable tie on the mounting bracket (fig.4).

4.During the drywall phase, cut a hole 12-1/8” high by 8” wide around the bracket. The bezel outer frame will extrude out about 1 inch beyond the perimeter of the cutout to hide minor imperfections in the cutout.

5.If the SuperOne Ci bezel frame and grille are to be painted in the wall, paint now before installing the baffle (see “Painting”).

6.After the drywall is complete, attach the bezel to the bracket with six 4 x 16mm flat- head screws that line up with the six raised bosses on the bracket (fig.5). If the frame is not installed in the proper orientation, all six screw holes will not line up. Tighten screws snugly, making sure not to over-tighten, as this may compromise the fit of the bezel. The use of power screwdrivers is not recommended. The absorptive strips on the back of the bezel’s outer frame reduce unwanted vibrations and will compress slightly to allow the frame to rest flush against the wall on all four sides. When installed correctly, the brack- et and bezel “sandwich” the drywall.

7.Connect the speaker cable to the spring posts on the SuperOne Ci baffle, making sure to observe correct polarity (see “Connections”).

8.Place one of the large foam isolators in each of the six raised bosses on the bezel. Place one of the small foam isolators in each of the 6 holes on the front surface of the baffle. Put the baffle into the bezel so the holes on the baffle line up with the holes in the center of the raised bosses on the bezel (fig. 6). Push one of the 4 x 16mm screws through a hole on the baffle and into the hole on the bezel and tighten it by hand so that the baffle and the bezel stay together. Insert the remaining screws, then tighten all of them snugly, making sure not to overtighten, as this may compromise the fit of the baf- fle. The use of power screwdrivers is not recommended. Exersize caution not to damage the drivers when inserting the screws.

9.Attach the metal grille by inserting it into the grooves in the baffle.
