4. In-wall and In-ceiling Speaker Installation

4. In-wall and In-ceiling Speaker Installation

Before using your Aelite Custom Install speakers for the first time make one 

final check of the cables and connections. If all appears well begin listening at 

a relatively low level to confirm that the system is operating as expected. Only 

increase the volume if you are happy with the sound at low levels. If you are 

unhappy, turn the system off and re-check all the cables and connections.

The speakers may take a little time to reach normal operating temperatures 

and to “run-in”. It is unwise therefore to make too rapid a judgement about the 

performance of the monitors. Your ears too will take some time to adjust to the 

new sound so revisiting the speaker installation is best left for a few days.

Your Acoustic Energy speakers are guaranteed against original defects in materials, 

manufacture and workmanship for 3 years from the date of purchase.

Under this warranty Acoustic Energy agrees to repair any defect or, at the 

company’s discretion, replace the faulty component(s) without charge for parts 

or labour. This warranty does not imply any acceptance by Acoustic Energy or its 

agents for consequential loss or damage and specifically excludes fair wear and 

tear, accident, misuse or unauthorised modification.

This warranty is applicable in the United Kingdom only and does not  in any way 

limit the customer’s legal rights. If you have reason to claim under the warranty 

please contact your dealer in the first instance 

Claims and enquiries under the warranty for Acoustic Energy products purchased 

outside the UK should be addressed to the local importers or distributors.

Please retain all original packaging materials for possible future use.

For any sales, technical or spares enquiries contact your local dealer or distributor 

first.

Products that display the crossed-out wheeled bin 
logo  cannot  be  disposed  of  as  domestic  waste 
but  must  be  taken  to  a  facility  capable  of  re-
cycling  them  and  appropriately  handling

from inside the grille. To insert and secure a speaker in a 

wall or ceiling proceed as described following. 

Diagram 

Three

 illustrates an Aelite 255 Ci in-wall speaker offered-

up to a wall aperture.

• 

Ensuring that the fixing clamps are lying flush 

against the sides of the speaker, offer the speaker up to 

the aperture and hold it in place so that any clearance is 

distributed approximately equally around the aperture. 

• 

Using a No. 2 Pozidriv screwdriver via the access holes tighten the four or 

six fixing clamps in turn. As the screws begin to tighten the fixing clamps will turn 

outwards and  begin to make contact with the rear of the wall or ceiling. Tighten 

just enough to pull the speaker solidly and securely in contact around its entire 

perimeter. Do not over-tighten and 

Do not use a power driver or drill.

• 

 Fit the grille by aligning it with its retaining groove and gently pushing from 

its edges. The logo badge is removable and can be repositioned to suit.
