the drywall section can be replaced clean- ly if there is an unseen obstruction behind the wall. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO SAW THROUGH EXISTING WIRES, PIPES, OR STRUCTURE. IF YOU FEEL ANY EXTRA RESISTANCE AS YOU ARE CUT- TING, STOP.

4.If you are cutting into lath and plaster walls, use masking tape to outline your penciled marks, drill the four corners with a 1/4” bit and use a razor to score the

plaster down to the lath beneath. Then use a chisel to remove all of the plaster within the taped outline. Finally, insert a metal cutting blade into a sabre saw and very slowly and carefully saw the lath. Sawing the lath can easily vibrate plaster off the wall. If you have the patience, use a pair of tin snips to slowly nip away at the lath instead. There is no risk with this method, it is just time consuming.

Final Installation in New or Existing Construction

1.If it is possible to lay a batt of insulation into the wall cavity, do so. Remember to use equal amounts of insulation for each speaker. Install any other wall cavity improvements or modifications at this time.

2.Separate the speaker wire so that at least two inches of each conductor are free.

3.Strip one half inch of insulation from the end of each conductor of the speaker wire.

4.If you have gold pin connectors which you wish to use, affix them to the stripped wire ends now.

5.Connect one stripped wire end of the wire connected to the amplifiers right chan- nel output to the black and one to the red input terminals labeled for the right chan- nel. Pay attention to the markings on the wire. Repeat for the left channel.

6.Connect the wire which runs to the satellite speakers to the left and right output terminals. Pay attention to the markings on the wire.

7.Slip the mounting bracket through the hole and pull it toward you so that its front edge slides into the hole and stops in place.

8.Attach the frame to the bracket by screw- ing the frame to the bracket using the sup- plied screws. Do not overtighten the screws, this will distort the frame and the grilles will not fit (this is not permanent, just loosen the screws and the grille will pop in). The screws should pull the frame and bracket together (sandwiching the drywall) so that the frame is absolutely flush with the wall surface. There should be no gaps between the wall and the frame (See Figure 17).

9.Installing a Niles MS-1 MicroSensor™ There is a 1/2" round molded "IR Sensor Knockout" on the face of the speaker baf- fle. To prevent damage to the crossover network you must remove the knockout from the rear of the speaker. Do not attempt to remove the knockout with the speaker face up. Lay the speaker face down on a clean carpet or rug. Put the tip of a screwdriver into the center of the round "knockout" and sharply tap the screwdriver handle as necessary. Install the MS-1 using its mounting hex nut and washer so that it is tightly secured to the speaker. Connect all wires and continue your installation.
