INSTALLING DURING NEW CONSTRUCTION

Needless to say, installing In-Wall speakers when a house is being built is far easier than doing it later. Russound offers a Speaker Rough-In Brackets for round speakers (Model SB-1.5). The bracket is designed to provide the drywall installers the cut-out for the In-Walls. Each kit comes with two brackets, (one is required per speaker). The brackets are nailed/screwed onto the wall studs. Once the house/room is completed, you can install the speaker (more on this below).

During new installation, keep the following tips in mind:

•Use a small level to verify that the mounting frame is straight.

•The flat brackets and nails which attach the speakers are thin enough that they won’t interfere with wallboard added later.

•If possible, run speaker wires after AC wiring is in place to avoid induced hum caused by close parallel proximity.

•Secure speaker wires in place along the run with insulated staples only and be careful not to pierce the insulation. Allow a bit of slack for expansion of building materials.

•The actual speakers should not be installed until the wall board is in place. In the meantime, leave several feet of wire coiled up and secured to the back side of the mounting frame.

•When it comes time to put up the dry wall, make sure the speaker cut-out hole doesn’t extend farther than 1/4” from the sides of the mounting frame.

•After the wallboard is put up, install the speakers as detailed on page 9 of this manual.

Due to our continual efforts to improve product quality as new technol- ogy and techniques become available, Russound/FMP, Inc. reserves the right to revise speaker systems specifications without notice.
