INSTALLATION SAFETY

When installing Sonance Cinema speakers, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

1.Read and understand all instructions.

2.Never drill or cut into wall cavities that already contain electrical wiring or plumbing.

3.Follow all warnings and instructions in this manual and marked on the product.

4.Do not install this product in a high humidity environment or near water, for example a wet basement, wet bar, or swimming pool.

5.Never touch the drivers or push objects of any kind into this product through the grilles.

6.Always exercise caution when working in unfinished spaces such as attics. Areas with exposed joists present a significant danger of injury from falls or stepping on nonstructural surfaces. Before working in areas with exposed joists,always create temporary walkways using plywood or dimensional lumber strong enough to support your weight.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1.Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.

2.Any service or repair required must be performed by qualified, factory authorized personnel.

3.Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners on the speakers.

4.To clean your speakers, wipe the grilles with a soft cloth dampened with water. You may remove the grilles to wash and dry them. The baffle, drivers, and CAAD may be dusted by gentle use of “canned air” commonly used to clean cameras and computer equipment.

5.Do not use this product in a high humidity environment or near water, for example a wet basement, wet bar, or swimming pool.

6.Do not expose your Cinema speakers to direct sunlight or high heat.Extended periods of exposure

may cause deterioration of adhesives and driver materials, compromising the useful life of the speakers.

7.Sine wave test tones can damage your Cinema speakers and should only be used at low volume levels for short periods.

8.Never touch the drivers or push objects of any kind into this product through the grilles.

9.Do not expose your Cinema speakers to construction dust, dirt, or airborne paint particles. If the area in which your speakers are installed is subject to potentially damaging airborne particles, you may remove the grilles, temporarily cover them with paper or plastic food wrap, then replace them over the speakers. Be sure to remove this protective cover after the dirty activity is complete and the room is thoroughly cleaned.

CINEMA TWO SUB, NEW CONSTRUCTION–BACK BOX INSTALLATION

Insert the Cinema Two SUB Back Box between studs, moving the studs if necessary to achieve proper fit. Attach the back box with the L brackets provided, or if back box is installed against the floor plate, use long 2-1/2" screws through the studs into the sides of the back box every 12". For optimum performance, mount back boxes as low and near to a corner as possible.

Drill a hole as small as possible in the rear or side panel of the back box and pass the speaker wire through it. For ease of speaker installation, leave two feet of extra wire beyond the actual speaker mounting location. Seal the hole with silicone caulking compound.

CINEMA TWO SUB, RETROFIT–BACK BOX INSTALLATION

Survey proposed sites and look for installation obstacles, e.g., plumbing, wiring and other fixtures. Access the attic or crawl space to check routing of air ducts and available mounting depth: Cinema Two SUBs require a wall cavity 5-3/4" deep and 84" tall.

At each selected site, use a stud locator to identify an open space between studs. Drill a small hole in the center of the chosen area and insert a bent coat hanger to confirm that the cavity is clear.

Use a stud finder to locate the studs that define the cavity. Using a drywall saw, make two horizontal cuts along the inside of the studs, creating an opening at least 84" high. The bottom cut should be 6" below the desired bottom of the back box (to accommodate L brackets). The upper cut should be 6 " above the desired top of the back box. Next, make two vertical cuts along the inside edges of the studs, connecting the horizontal cuts. Remove the drywall and set aside.

Insert the Cinema Back Box and attach the top and bottom to the studs with the L brackets provided. Fill any gap between the back box and side studs with scrap wood or drywall to assure a snug fit. Drill a hole as small as possible in the back box and pass the speaker wire through it. Seal the hole with silicone caulking compound. Leave two feet of extra wire beyond the actual speaker mounting location for ease of speaker installation.

Use the wood plate protruding from back box as a template to cut drywall. Apply silicone caulking compound or construction adhesive to the back side of the removed drywall. Replace the drywall and attach it to the back box with 1" drywall screws every 3-4" around the perimeter of the box.
