Recommended minimum installation volume is 4 liters. By using our optional in 
wall speaker frame/cabinet, the optimum cabinet volume is guaranteed. There is 
no upper volume limit. When the speaker is installed in a space with hard materials 
such as bricks or concrete, additional cavity damping may be required. Suitable 
materials are mineral insulation materials such as Rockwool or BAF (bonded 
acetate fiber). Hard foam materials such as polystyrene and other polyfoams are 
not suitable. Make sure that the used damping materials meet your local fire and 
building requirements. Check that there are no obstacles such as electrical tubes, 
wires or other pipes behind the speaker. Make sure the area behind the speaker is 
free of small particles such as small stones. These particles can damage the vented 
magnet system of the speaker. In cases of doubt, protect the rear of the speaker 
with a small amount of BAF wadding.

To make grille removal easier, a special grille removal tool is supplied with the 
speakers. Insert the tool in a corner of the grille and gently pull the grille out. 
Repeat this step on all corners until the grille is entirely free. Do not attempt to pull 
out the grille by pulling one side of the grille, this may cause damage to the grille 
or the frame. Keep the tool at hand in case you need to remove the grille.
Be extra careful when positioning the tweeter: do not touch the tweeters membrane. 
Keep the tilt angle within a range of 10 degrees from the neutral position.

Speaker mounting instructions

For hifi setups, mount the speakers between 1/2 and 2/3 of total wall height, for 
walls up to 3 meters height, and stay at least 50 cm clear of adjacent walls. You 
can also mount the speakers in a ceiling if necessary.
