Niles Audio CM6HDFX Installing the Bracket, Concealing Speaker Wire for a Future Installation

INSTALLING THE BRACKET

1.Attach the QuickSnap™ new-construction wings to the bracket by snapping them into the bracket sides. If the length will interfere with corner or eaves, you can shorten the wings by breaking them along the scored lines.

NOTE: THE WINGS AND BRACKETS HAVE CENTERING LINES TO SIMPLIFY PLACEMENT OF THE SPEAKERS.

2.Screw one side of the assembled bracket with wings to the joist, using one of the supplied screws. Level the bracket, and then screw the other side of the bracket/wing assembly to the joist. Two screws on each side make for a very secure installation.

3.Secure the wire to the bracket using bracket’s wire tie. The drywall installers will cut the drywall to the exact size of the bracket, as shown in Figure 14.

CONCEALING SPEAKER WIRE FOR A FUTURE INSTALLATION

1.Attach the speaker wire in a loop between the ceiling joists and carefully mark the exact location of the wire on a set of plans.

2.Ask the general contractor to inform the drywall installers that the speaker wire loops are concealed for future installations, as shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15. The speaker wire is looped and hung on two nails attached to the joists, securing it for future use. Be sure to note the location on house plans.
